Understandably for the final outcome of all my required products I wanted them to be perceived by the audience as professional and to be regarded in a realistic manner as they would be towards a mainstream product. For that reason I felt it would benefit me in the construction of these tasks if I received systematic updates from my peers and lecturer as to what their opinions are upon my main and auxilary tasks, therefore I would gain a better understanding towards the necessary changes I would have to conduct to ensure my products are seen in the highest possible manner by my target audience upon completion. Here my peers would be identifying areas of improvement in association with the various elements (layout,font styles,colour etc) that were incorporated into my productions, this essentially made it easier and fairly straightforward to make adjustments if they were required and in recognition improve the standard of my work in the long run. Since my auxilary task one (the documentary poster) was the initial task I began with this was the area I wanted my peers to target, review and offer advice to me.
My first protocol was to ask my desk mate Taylor to offer her opinions about the product (which is displayed above). This is my completed draft of how I want it to appear to the audience, however as I was still waiting for a response from the head of media on campus over her thoughts I felt Taylor could offer me a valuable starting point of any required alterations that needed to be reinstated. On initial inspection she regarded the image in a high manner and commented how it effectively reflected the mature mindset I was attempting to create - moreover this highlighted that I had fulfilled the requirement I mentioned in my brief about how I wanted the image to be a serious black and white tone to highlight the adult audience. She also mentioned how she was enthusiastic about how the models dress was left in colour as she felt the audience would be drawn to the brightness on an overall dark image. She emphasised the effectiveness of using a quote from a review as this allowed an independent view point on the documentary without having an biased responses from the filmakers. Criticisms wise she suggested that I could experiment possibly with some more font styles for the title as she felt there was possibly a more sophisticated handwritten one I had not yet discovered, therefore more experimentation was essential before I made a final decision over the text. Hr only other concern was to make the BBC logo smaller as she was under the impression the title of the documentary and the logo were fighting for dominance and attention due to them both being in similar sizes.
Kaye my lecturer was the following individual on regards to her advice for major imporvments. Basically she suggested the same aspects Taylor had identified with hints towards resizing the logo - she judged that the title of the documentary is essentially the most important element on the product as it allows the audience to identify with what the programme's content concerns whilst also naming it so they will be aware of what it is called when looking to view it on its broadcasting date. Other then that she was content with what I had created.
With these opinions in mind I decided that changes would have to be employed to improve the quality of my finished documentary product. However before I made any actions I concluded I would wait until the head of campus replied to my email in regards to her thoughts over the task, therefore I had a wider range of responses on what changes were most important to enable my production to be up to its full potential.
