Evaluation 3, what have learnt from your audience feedback?

When creating a draft of our soap, we allowed several classes of students to watch our media production. And in return we could receive some feedback, illustrating what was good and also what was bad. Therefore we could adapt our finale production for the better hopefully gaining a better grade within the end of the course.

To gain further input upon my media production, i created a questionnaire. Which i greatly appreciated receiving back, and the results allowed me to once again adapt my soap to the viewers needs. Here is a brief over view of my questionnaire and some of the feedback i received.

Questionnaire;

1. Would you be interested in watching my soap? Yes/No 8/2
2. Do you realise the concept of our soap? Yes/No 9/1
3. Would you be interested in an soap that was specifically made for a younger audience? Yes/No 10/0
4. Which soap type do you prefer, traditional or modern ? T/M 6/5
5. Is channel four a regular rebroadcasting channel in which you would usually tune in for? Yes/No 6/4
6. Do our titles, within the production make sense towards the storyline? Yes/No 2/8
7. Is there a broad range of characters within our soap? Yes/No 3/7

This feedback showed me that several things needed to be changed. Such things like the diversity within the characters we chose. There was far too many male characters within the soap and that's when we began to search for a stereotypical female character in which we could add. Here is who we added.

We also received negative feedback for our choices in titles. This being a major part in illustrating the story lines found within our soap to the audience. We therefor had to regroup and come up with several different ideas. Here is an example of one change they we went with to hopefully explain this distinct part to our soap. 

 

As you can see our title now shows 'Different Conflicts' rather than 'Cultural Differences'. Now seeing this new statement i agree with the audiences feedback i believe it illustrates the storyline far more efficiently and also links to a far broader audience.
