Evaluation of Audience Feedback:
I sent out an email through outlook containing a google form with my final film with all editing and sound effects added, this was in order to obtain audience feedback. I sent it to a mix of demographics in order to get opinions from a range of demographics including my target audience of 30+. From the responses, I can tell that the sound effects created were satisfactory and worked alongside my background music, and my b-roll footage and matched my film's genre and narrative. A strength of my film, specifically is the B-roll footage I used and edited as it matches my films genre and aesthetic and fits the time period that the documentary is in. The fuzzy low-quality of some of the film helps build intrigue and atmosphere in the documentary and allows for better escapism and audience enjoyment. The transitions I used, such as the dip to black tool, helped to make the film feel more conjoined with the historical documents and b-roll footage and therefore flow better. The feedback also showed that the graphics (intro and outro) worked in the documentary despite my own reservations about the outro being too basic.
One thing I edited on is the audio/video error at 1:10 seconds due to multiple pieces of feedback mentioning how it suddenly cut off and didn't match the rest of the documentary. I also decreased the audio gain of my sound effects and moved one of them around in order to better match the footage on screen at the time. This response to feedback should hopefully make my documentary appear better put together and more professional. The codes and conventions of the documentary and history genres were easy to adhere to as it included relating to historic events, having factual information, and including footage and documentation relating to the subject matter. The use of B-roll footage makes my documentary longer and gives far more diversity in shot types and locations, this caused me to have less diversity in shot types and locations in my filmed footage which appears poorly devised. However, in my audience feedback people don't seem to notice and like the amount of extra footage and documents I spliced into my documentary, despite my own concerns.
