3. What have you learned from your audience feedback?

Throughout the Research, Planning and Construction of "A Working Student" I have recieved a lot of feedback from peers and teachers, all of the feedback I have recieved from my audiences I have tried to encorporate into my ancillary tasks and film itself, to make it more appealing to different audiences. My Ancillary Tasks were reviewed first and foremost and the comments I recieved were in response to a short questionaire I conducted by asking 2 boys and 2 girls in my class What do you like? and What would you change? I did this for both my review and poster.

I learned that my audience thought that the image on my poster was very strong and represented my film well, along with the colour scheme.
I learned that my audience thought that the review was "a bit too pink" and that they thought I should have used a broader colour scheme.
Other than this my audience thought that my Ancillary tasks were very strong and represented "A Working Student" really well.

I have learned a lot from my audience feedback, I have recieved a lot of positive comments on the video itself on YouTube, I also posted a link to my film on social networking sites Twitter and Facebook and asked people to feedback, so I could gain more opinions on my "A Working Student":
During the Construction stages, when I did a rough cut of "A Working Student", I showed my teacher and we both agreed that the ending gave too much to the audience, which was why I decided to change the narrative so that the audience have to engage with the film and figure something out for themselves.

Most of my reviews are from Females aged 17-25, as this is my target audience, my audience feedback has shown me that my film also appeals to a Male audience as Steven Hubbard (17) "ihubbz", has referred to me as the female Christopher Nolan, which is a massive compliment.
"Maloopi" - Luke Harkness (17) has also made a positive comment, I am pleased that "A Working Student" applies to a wider audience than I initially thought, this is something I would not have learnt if I had not conducted audience feedback.
I have learned that the twist at the end was very effective, I was worried it would be obvious and not effective at all, and I have learned from my audience feedback that it was.
