Evaluation

In this project, I have been successful in creating the genre and atmosphere that I laid out in my plan for the production. The finished project mirrors the plan that I created, and i feel i was successful in the project. Changes that i chose to occur in the production include music choice and editing techniques, such as colour filters that i have placed on scenes, and transition fades, as i felt that they were more suited to the finished audio-visual. Furthermore, for the magazine, i was successful in creating the targeted lifestyle magazine. However, i chose to change many elements of my front cover to allow it to fit the stereotypical lifestyle magazine, whilst still targeting the niche mature audience.

feedback from target audience

A small group of students at the age of 17-19 viewed the closing sequence of my tv programme, dreamscape. Members of the audience gave positive feedback, as well as appreciation and understanding of the dual narrative. Audience members mentioned that they felt a connection with the main character, which was one of the aims when creating the programme.

I also allowed two member of a slightly higher age group view the sequence from the programme. This was to see if the programme would be suitable for a diverse audience, and therefore could adjust the target audience of my magazine accordingly. Feedback given from the members of the 50-60 age group was also positive, members admitted to having an emotional reaction to the programme, and felt a personal connection to the narrative and issues that arised, even though they had never experienced these issues themselves. This was also an aim of my programme, as id hoped to not only educate people on the issues, but also inflict an emotional response, in order to create empathy and true understanding in audiences.
