Question 3 – What have you learned from your AUDIENCE FEEDBACK?Q3

Finding the audience for FRESHERS:

• Misfits• Skins

• Hollyoaks• Hollyoaks Later• The Inbetweeners

Current E4 programmes which have an audience that is relatable to the our target audience for Fresher’s:

Because Fresher’s characters are ALL students; it is obvious that our Soap Opera is aimed at

students/university students etc. I would say that this is an age group of 15-20. Because of my

following research of other soaps myself and my group decided that E4 would be the suitable channel for our Soap Opera to be broadcasted on; I feel that

E4 is relatable to the issues that have been in our soap opera trailer such as Drugs, relationships and

sexuality.

E4 is the UK’s most watched digital channel amongst 16-34

year olds

Positive feedback from audience:

Q3 Question 3 – What have you learned from your AUDIENCE FEEDBACK?

POSITIVE FEEDBACK: The audience were pleased with the use of a fresher’s hash tag in order to let the audience tweet about what is happening on the episodes.

The audience were also impressed with my E4 branding – the use of the E4 font (American Typewriter) and also the E4 colour scheme made my FRESHER’s ending title card look impressive and professional.

SONG CHOICE:

The audience were pleased with my song choice as it was up-to-date and modern which was the effect I wanted for my trailer – They also liked the fact that I edited out the lyrics and just put in the sound with a good beat which was affective through out certain parts of the trailer.

3 MAIN STORY LINES: DRUGS, RUNAWAY AND SEXUALITY:

I also learnt from my audience feedback that I created solid story lines which had a strong affect on the audience through out the trailer and my trailer displayed the 3 story lines well through out the trailer which were: Drugs, Sexuality and a Run-Away Teen – 3 images on my left to show the main characters within each story line.

Question 3 – What have you learned from your AUDIENCE FEEDBACK?Q3

Audience’s criticism - changes that they would want to be made:One of the changes that could be made to improve my trailer and was said by my audience for my feedback and changes: to create a quicker affect would be to shorten this shot down and edit it to less seconds, as it is to long for a trailer and the audience doesn’t need to see the entire text being typed out as they’re already aware that the text is typed out.

Another criticism that I have taken into consideration with this clip is that it could be affectively used at the end of the trailer as this gives away to early to the audience that JP’s character is gay.

JP’s story line of coming out “gay” in the trailer is a big shock to his best friend Sophie (Myself playing the character of JP’s best friend) - The audience watching the trailer made a comment that I should zoom in on JP’s reaction on the line where he says “HER?” this would create an affective reaction for the audience as shock on his face will reflect through to the audience/viewers thought on his “shock”.

Q3 Question 3 – What have you learned from your AUDIENCE FEEDBACK?

Audience’s criticism - changes that they would want to be made:HAL : RUNAWAY-TEEN - Scene

This scene was of Hal leaving her home and running away: this scene consisted of after Hal wrote he letter she got up grabbed her bag and left the kitchen with her coat on and bag on, then shut the door.

This scene is supposed to be affective as it is a big moment my trailer for giving the audience awareness that she is leaving: I have learnt from audience feedback that it would have been more affective to get a shot of Hal closing the door and a strong emphasis on her actually leaving the house rather than just the kitchen.

The shot above shows Hal grabbing her bag in-preparation of leaving out of the kitchen door and

running away from home.

I uploaded my first billboard poster to blogger and received some audience feedback which is below with regards to “washing out” the background in order to make the characters stand out more on the poster. I made the changes and the final poster is below. I am happy that I received audience feedback as I am now aware of the improvements that have been made.
