Audience Feedback - Results
As part of our research, this questionnaire was given out to 15 people. Here are the conclusions in which they had:
1. Was the framing and intercutting appropriate?Most people answered yes, it suited the subject matter of phobias with it being fast paced and quite tensed. The few that answered no commented on not using the rule of thirds in some interviews and slightly off jump cuts that didn't come into play when arguing two sides.
2. Was the music suitable to the documentary?Majority answered yes, it was suitable and not too off-putting. Those that said no said it needed to be more subtle and not so loud for the narrator to be heard.
3. Was the editing good or poor?Feedback shows that it was more poor than good because of too much interview and cutaways that didn't really relate to what the person was explaining.
4. Did this documentary engage/interest you?Some said yes, it's something they can relate to in day to day life. Some said it lacked realistic approaches towards the facts stated.
5. On a scale of 1 to 10, what would you rate this documentary overall?On average, a 7 was given.
6. What was the weakest element of the documentary?Answered proved it to be the cutaways which lacked towards proving a point and interesting interviews with people who have experienced a more serious phobia.
7. What was the strongest element of the documentary?Audience favourited the bluescreen because of it's moving ability when the gamer is mentioned about how games can trigger a phobia with footage from Silent Hill.
8. Does the radio advertisement relate to the documentary?Having watched the documentary, seen the poster advertisement and listened the radio advertisement, the audience gave the opinion that it did from using some of the voxpops from the documentary.
9. Does the print advert relate to the documentary?Since the print advertisement was based on a previous questionnaire and what the audience favourited, people commented on the use of purple in the titles and for the colour of the boxes in the poster.
10. Does the overall voiceover engage and tie in the documentary, print and radio advertisement?
Some say the voice-over was weak and not clear enough to imply the seriousness of the subject matter but on average, tied in moderately due the using the same voice in the radio advertisement and the documentary.

Original image for poster advertisement
This is the original image for the print advertisement. Our initial idea was to have a porcelain clown doll as our main subject matter, instead, the thought of using an object that you would least expect to be scary was used. And so a teddy bear was replaced it. This was then going to contrast the shadow, that was simply not a normal shadow but a shadow of a monster to imply phobias can come from unusual experiences or from pretty much anything. Since the shadow is going to be black, it is thought that the background is going to be plain white and the teddy bear shall be cropped out from this original background.
Poster advertisement draft
This is the draft of what our poster advertisement is going to look like and will hopefully be the outcome prior to the original image. It is going to be made in Photoshop and edited accordingly.
