Evaluation Question 3:

What have you learned from your audience feedback?

to get feedback on my work from my audience, I thought it would be a good idea to upload my work onto Youtube and Facebook to see what the people thought. My poster became my profile picture on Facebook so that I could try and get people's attention to see what my image was all about. I also shared it with all my friends on Facebook. Before all that, I showed my work to other students in my class. Facebook and Youtube are two sites that people visit the most. My trailer is a public video on Youtube so anybody can watch it. I uploaded it on there because its the best place for all video uploads. The only problem uploading a videos on Youtube for the first time is that it is going to be hard to get like 1,000 views and comments in two weeks, because people don't know who you are and what you do but I'm sure that later on in weeks I will have more views.

So far I have had 24 views which means people have seen my trailer, but the only problem is that I have no comments from anyone. On the other hand people who I know (friends, family and teacher) have seen it and have given me positive feedback, they have said that the trailer is good, it works well and they like it. The negative feedback that I got, which I would also agree with, is that the trailer was not as scary as it was suppose to be, considering that I chose the horror genre. Although saying that, the trailer still works.

When I shared my poster on Facebook, a couple of people started commenting on it and once again I was really pleased with the positive feedback that I got, people liked it, they thought it was great work and even my family left a comment, which we could say its a bit biased because their family, they wouldn't say it was bad. I was really happy with the positive feedback that I got from people, someone mentioned about the colour saying "they work well together", so this was very positive from the audience.

 Because I worked by myself, I get a different picture of my work to what others may, so it was very important to me to get this feedback and I have learned a lot from it. For my trailer everyone that watch it liked it, but after watching it I asked them "was it scary"? They all said no, and I can understand where they were coming from because it was true. This was one thing that I learned. Changes could have been made to the trailer to make it scarier, but that would mean start editing all over again. The second point that I learned was the tagline that I used for my poster, it is not in the comments on facebook but they told me it face-to-face, they said it was so typical of a horror tagline and many horror movies have used them before. I totally agree with this but I also believe that it works well for my poster becuase of the dark colours used and also dark room that the character 'Joe' finds himself trapped in, it is a relevant tagline.
