Positive

O ‘Make the characters voices louder over the music’O ‘If you want put the E4 logo in.’O ‘Make sure the backing music doesn't drown out the

dialogue to much’O ‘You just need to make sure the characters voices are

louder so we can here them more clearly’O ‘Just make sure that the characters voices can be

heard clearly over the soundtrack and add a title’O ‘Dialogue could be louder’O ‘In some scenes make the dialogue louder over the

music so it is clearer to the audience’O ‘Dialogue is hard to hear at time so make music quiter

in the background’

Negative

How I learnt and acted upon my feedback…

After receiving audience feedback, I acted upon this to improve my products.The trailer feedback made me learn that the music is clearly a distraction to audiences. So, to improve this error I reduced the level of the soundtrack and increase the volume of the actors voices. It also made me realised the E4 logo wasn’t involved in my trailer so I added that on as well. Finally, the audience feedback praised the transitions so I made sure to have clean cut transitions from beginning to end – including the title card – as I understand it helped the audience follow the storyline.

Feedback from Ancillary 1 – Magazine Front Cover

I worked together for my ancillaries with a group member – Catherine Tansey.For our second draft attempt, we decided to use a more brighter colour to accent the front cover story more. We chose the colour yellow and think it made the cover more distinct. Also, we took out the borders that covered our characters face as we learnt it crowds her image. We added the price to make the magazine more realistic. Finally, we learnt it was important to have your soap name on the cover which we hadn’t included. So, to finish tweaking we added our soap name and made sub headings more appropriate and sharp.

Feedback from Ancillary 2 - Billboard

Again, I worked together with Catherine Tansey on this Ancillary.We learnt from this audience feedback that we needed to adjust the billboard to fit in with our soap and brand criteria. We did this by adding an E4 strap using the E4 style guide to help us. This benefited us as we learnt the width of the strap and where it needs to be placed on the poster. We also changed the font to the correct E4 branding one and edited the image on Photoshop to make it more professional.
