Facebook comment feedback:

For apart of my audience feedback I used an effective way of including and taking advantage of the new digital media platform and advertised my DVD cover on a socialising website known as Facebook.By doing this it gave me an opportunity to get a variety of opinions from individuals both locally and globally. This expanded my audience feedback so I had a range of comments that could either make my model more professional in some cases and to improve it overall. The above is what my final DVD cover looked like.

Getting a range of comments on a socialising website helped me to improve my model in many ways. When uploading my own DVD cover onto Facebook I gathered both good and negative comments in which I could improve upon. This made me understand what my audience wants to see included within the DVD cover itself.The feedback given were both from a skating targeted audience but also from individuals of different types of genre’s. This helped me see the similarities and differences ( if any at all) between different people. When reading through the comments there were no disagreements and they all seemed to agree on the same things.

The feedback in which I got back from the advertising on Facebook was both positive and negative. The other things in which I got was improvements for my DVD cover. This came in useful when looking back at my DVD back and front and looking for ways to improve my model in any way possible.For this I asked specific individuals for a detailed feedback on my DVD cover in which only one of them got back to me. I was deeply grateful for this. The common feedback was the text that was included within the DVD cover and the random capital letters in the middle of words. Whereas I thought this added to the DVD cover others thought this did not match at all and suggested me to get rid of this and to just keep it to lower case letters. After thinking about this I too thought this was right as the randomness did make it look different but also made it look unprofessional in some aspects and so I decided to get rid of this.Another comment that I took on board was that Ffion the skater on the front cover looked Fatter then she usually did. This was not a problem as I thought it looked fine but a person I got feedback off mentioned this and so I changed it to please my target audience. This was simply done by Photoshop and the stretch tool.

Another comment I got back from the feedback was the text and the font. Individuals wanted me to change the font altogether which wasn’t generally a problem at all it was just that I had to do other tasks such as finish my music video for the deadline so that was my main focus. Yet again another problem or improvement was the colours. When adding the layers on top of each other some of the colour was lost in the process. In order for me to get it right I had to do the effect again but this time make a certain layer brighter but going to the effect toolbar.

All of the audience feedback from Facebook was helpful in many ways and in some aspects they helped me to improve my secondary task of producing my DVD cover in many ways.

Actual Audience Comments and Views:

“ Right... It generally looks really nice, the composition is really well thought through. You should seriously consider changing the font... Or at least stop using capitals in random places, that looks really unprofessional. Also I know I just put loads of things down but those are minor things I really like your work! It looks amazing, it’s just those little things that could ( in my personal opinion) improve it a little bit.” – Bartosz Platak, Suffolk, Ipswich
