QUESTION 3

• WHAT HAVE YOU LEARNT FROM AUDIENCE FEEDBACK?

Q3

From my audience feedback I learnt that the audience like the variety of shot types I used such as close ups and extreme close ups, high/ low angle shots to make the audience feel part of the scene.

•Enigmas sustain audience interest and tease/challenge/stimulate

•Genres create audience segmentation/preferences/expectation/prediction/anticipation

•Gender and age create debate and competition

•Storytelling is a narrative pleasure; characters and plots matter

•Audiences want comedy, conflict, repetition

I learnt from my colleagues feedback and teacher’s feedback that:

It’s important not only to have meta narratives and multiple narrative but to have a main focus/storyline.

Not being able to see the characters face makes the opening scene an enigma.

The title cars create audience expectation as they tell you what is going to happen thus also enhancing audience prediction.

The diegetic sound of Kyle saying to Gaz ‘have a load of them’ later results in the audience sympathising with Gaz eventhough Kyle is hit. As the narrative is told almost from Gaz POV.

•Genre hybridist creates pleasures and gratifications and widens demographic

• Audiences want safety, repetition and familiarity.

•Audiences want to see themselves reflected in the products; class, social and collective identities

•Audiences expect authentic and credible realism.

•Audience are flattered and excited by contemporary and postmodern intertextuality; web screens, phone screens, film and print media quotation

•Audiences respond to ideologies, messages, media debates and moral panics

Keep returning to the same characters gives consistency and familiarity

Using actual familiar roads for mis en scene creates realism

I used this to analyse my own and other peoples trailers.

• I was informed after my first draft that title cards were needed to direct the audiences expectations and control their emotions.

I made sure that the title cards represented the brand E4

I used ellipsis to inform the audience that another title card was coming and hold the tension

Placing this title card before the climax means the audience is sat in suspense

I also learnt that the spade hitting Kyle had to be slower for the audience to digest what’s going on and feel scared and unsafe.

• FROM THIS FEED BACK I DECIDED TO RESEARCH MY TARGET AUDIENCE AND MAKE A MOOD BOARD ON THEIR LIKES AND DISLIKES

This would help me know what my audiences needs and gratifications are. It also shows me which ways are best to advertise my soap and what costumes I can use and which genres of tv teenagers/young adults are into as that’s my demographic.

Audience Feedback.To rose: - I think the lighting in the scenes suit the time as it’s very

naturalistic. - I don’t think it does lack title cards because they take the focus

away from the action within the mise-en-scene. - I do think there are a variety of shots also they are visually

interesting.
