2. After we had completed our
documentary and both
ancillary texts we showed them
to a number of students and
asked them to fill in a
questionnaire in order to gain
feedback on our production...
Question 1:
When asked what they
thought our
documentary was
about, all 30 people
answered that the
topic was clearly sleep;
this shows that we
used suitable
interviews and
cutaways, etc. to
highlight the topic.
3. Question 3:
Question 2: 22 people answered that they found our documentary

“It was interesting and
informed me with new facts
as I did not know much about
the topic”
These results show that
perhaps we included the
correct information within
the documentary as it was all
new and informative to our
target audience.
4. Question 4: The feedback for this question suggests that we chose a
suitable topic as 25/30 people from our target audience gave our choice of
topic the highest rating of 1; the remaining 5 people answered with a
rating of 2. (shown in the graph below)
Question 5:
When we asked what the most informative
part of the documentary was, we were given
answers such as:
“The fact that peppermint is good for
sleeping” (answered by two people)
“The fact that we can actually last without
sleep”
“The information about yawning”
“The fact that yawning isn’t actually linked
to tiredness”
As we were given similar answers by a few
people this suggests that we included
suitable and interesting information, and
edited in the most relevant parts of
interviews.
5. Question 6: Question 7:

6. Question 8:
To follow the codes and
conventions of real media products
my group and I chose a voiceover
that we believed was clear and
calm; the results for this question
suggest that we made the correct
decision as all 30 people
questioned answered that the
voiceover was clear and
understanding. (shown in the
graph below)
Question 9:
The feedback we received for this
question suggests that the whole half
an hour long documentary that we
planned would have been popular
with our target audience as everyone
we questioned said that the opening
five minutes was interesting and
they would want to watch the
remainder of the documentary.

were relevant. Therefore
they must have suited
both the topic and the
interviews in which they
were shown.
8. Question 12: Question 13:
All 30 people that filled in our questionnaire answered
When asked what they liked
about the print advert we that our main image and slogan featured on the print
were given answers such as:
advert both relate to the topic of the documentary; this
-"It's very dramatic which shows that we chose the correct image as it clearly
makes it eye-catching"
highlights our topic of sleep and our slogan further
-""It looks really effective" emphasises this.
-"It is different and eye-
catching"
-"It is effective because of
how tired the lady appears"
These answers prove that we
made the right decision for
the image of the print advert
as many people found it eye-
catching, which would
theoretically attract our
target audience and
encourage them to watch
our documentary.
9. Question 14: Question 15:

10. Question 16:
The graph on the left shows
that 30/30 people would not
change anything about our
documentary; this suggests that
no changes needed to be made
to our planning, filming or
editing of the five minute
documentary. (shown in the
graph to the right)
Question 17:
The graph shown on the
right, displaying the results for
question 17, shows that 28/30
people rated our documentary as
2, with the remaining 2 people
rating it at 1; this suggests that
our documentary is suitable
for, and would be popular
with, our target audience.
11. Question 18:
The results for our final question suggest that our main product and both
ancillary texts all link together and clearly highlight the topic of our
documentary; the graph above shows that 28/30 people who filled out our
questionnaire found that the products are all very effective in relating to the
topic of sleep.
12. Overall, from my audience feedback I have found that
everyone who watched our documentary was aware of
the topic we were covering, and a large percentage
found all three texts effective. Most results suggested that
the decisions my group and I made when
planning, filming and editing our documentary and
ancillary texts worked well to help create a product that
would successfully attract and appeal to our target
audience. Our audience feedback also implied that no
major changes needed to be made to any of our three
products and we included the correct information, that
intrigued and interested viewers.
