Audience Feedback

We asked a variety of people to watch our documentary and give their feedback and opinions on it. The audience feedback is really important as it allows us to see the most successful parts of our documentary and parts we could have improved on.

Improvements which the audience suggested:
  • 'Compare more kids meals from different restaurants' - We could have looked at the children's meals from other popular fast food chains like KFC, Pizza Hut, etc.
  • 'Could have had shots of children eating fast food in restaurants' - This is something we tried to capture, however due to legal reasons we were unable to film inside a fast food restaurant.
  •   'One of the scenes had background noise from a van, so you could'nt hear the voices as well' - Unfortunately we were filming in a busy town as this is where the fast food chains were located, so we had background noise from vehicles and pedestrian's.
  • 'More variety with the archive footage' - We could have included other archive footage instead of it all being quite similar.
Successful parts of our documentary suggested by the audience:

  • 'All the music related to what you were talking about'
  • 'Some humorous music, makes it more light-hearted'
  • 'Engaging, and you could enjoy what you were watching'
  • 'Interesting'
  • 'Very informative and interesting'
  • 'You (documentary makers) were in quite a few scenes which made it more engaging'
  • 'Music was really good as it was to do with the topic'
  • 'Statistics were used which made it suitable for adults and parents'
  • 'Aimed for older audience and parents'

Overall we were really happy with the feedback given to us by the audience. The successful feedback is all the factors we were trying to cover through our documentary, including making it engaging and informative. The improvements suggested have helped us realise mistakes we could have improved on.
