Audience screening for Documentary

Here And Queer Audience Screening Questionnaire

Age/Age group: The age group of our audience screening was 17-55 this was helpful as our initial target audience was in this range therefore the feedback we will get would be representative to the public.

Gender:

We had a majority of females and males that contributed to answering our questionnaire so it was equal and it was not a biased audience.

1. Do you feel that the documentary and its purpose are introduced clear enough, if not how could it be improved?
The majority of the audience we rather pleased by the documentary and its purpose was very well presented however there were a few suggestions that the introduction was not very clear as they could not hear the presenters very well moreover they felt that it was introduced. Overall after reviewing the feedback we will now re-shoot our introduction so it is more clear and the presenters are heard.

2. Do you think that the appropriate music has been used throughout the documentary?
The majority of our audience felt that the music that we used was appropriate and that it was not over powering. But on the other hand there was some people that thought that in some places that it was too high and they could not hear the presenters properly. So from this feedback we will be looking into what parts need to be lowered and adjusted. We also got feedback that as we spoke about lady gaga then we should use one of her tracks on the part that we are talking about her but as we can only use uncopyrighted music, we are unable to use one of her songs.

3. How do you feel about the topic of homosexuality?

From the feedback fro this question we found out that from our audience is was a mixture of feelings as some did not agree with it and said that “I feel it is against human nature and trying to play god” while others said that “I am a believer that people should live as they want to, so long as no body gets hurt” so from the audience feedback they was not a majority of views for one side it was equal.

4. Do you think that the interviews were relevant to the topic and do you feel that they show clear views about homosexuality?
From our feedback we can see that the majority of our audience said that our interviews were relevant but they suggested they we could possibly find someone who has a different view and that is against the matter of being homosexual. Other people said that it was good as it allowed people to express their own opinions

5. If this documentary were showing on mainstream TV would you watch it? Why?
The majority if people said that they would watch this documentary as some said that they are passionate about this topic, some people had personal family reasons why they would watch this, they said they would like to see other peoples opinions on this topic, it would interest them as it is made by young people. From the people that said they wouldn’t watch this there reasons were because they are not affected by homosexuality and because there are other documentaries that are similar to this one.

6. What age group do you feel that this documentary would be suitable for?
The majority of our audience said that they thought that our documentary would be suitable for the ages between 14 and 25, which this is the target audience that we have targeted for.

7. What channel do you feel this program would be best suited for and what time do you think it should be aired? Why?
From our feedback we found out that our audience thought that the best option for us to air our documentary would be either on Channel 4 or BBC3 as these are the more likely channels to air documentaries. They also gave us other ideas of what time to air our documentary, they suggested that it should be shown around 9pm as this may not be acceptable for young children to watch.

8. Overall what is your personal opinion on the documentary as a whole? WHY?

From the majority of our audience they said they enjoyed our documentary as it had a variety of opinions, gave statistics, evidence from celebrities, they also said that we could improve on our lighting and some of our editing, they also said that they could not understand one of our presenters so we have decided to change our presenters around to the original two people that we had at the start.

things we will changing about our questionnaire;

• we will be adding a different view about homosexuality to get both views
• we have decided to change our presenters
• we are going to reshoot our introduction and our ending
• we will be changing some of the adjustments on the sound so people are able to hear more clear
