Evaluation: What have I learned from my audience feedback

Due to the lack of posting during the course i did not receive much feedback from my posts, however after putting the video up onto YouTube i have had a few comments on there about the good features of the trailer and how it could be improved for next time.

While i did not receive much feedback, what i did receive was useful in identifying the good and the bad points of my main task and ancillary texts and show how they could be improved.

The comments which i did receive were mostly from my media class and other media students in the school who provided useful input and information about how my project was shaping up and what it was going to be in their minds.

During the planning stage for my trailer i posted a list of events which i wanted to happen during the trailer, i made the list as detailed as i could including the camera angles and speed of editing which i wanted to use. One of my friends, Ronan JD Sullivan commented on this post and told me his thoughts, he said "its really clear in my head how it all would look", he also made a suggestion that i "have the characters facing each other in a split clip". While i did not get to make a split clip for my final scene, i did take his comment and used it to expand upon my ideas and come up with a shorter trailer for easy editing.

The feedback that i received after posting all the pieces onto the blog allowed me to see what i had done wrong and how i could improve it for next time, or how it could have been edited to look better. The comments told me how i could improve the spacing on the poster, and how i could have used more sound effects on the trailer such as using a build up effect before the main title music set it.
