5.10 Questionnaire for my target audience

Questionnaire for my target audience





This questionnaire is aimed at my target audience, to see what they like and dislike about my news programme.

The feedback that I received from my target audience was generally quiet positive, however there were some aspects of the news programme that they said could be improved. For one of the questions; "How does the news programme come across to you?" One person said that a split screen could be used in the interview between the anchor and the reporter so that it doesn't jump back and forth. they said that using the split screen technology will keep the audience more interested in the report. Two other people said that "East end local news" follows the same conventions as a professional news programme because the colours and the logo are consistent throughout the programme. Also having a particular time on the screen, a title bar and an opening sequence follows the conventions of many news programmes.

For the question: "If you were to change something about the programme to make it better what would it be?" ( Question 4)

The feedback that I received from my target audience was that probably the background of the news studio where the anchor is reporting the news from could change.

(Question 5)- "If you wanted to get updates from your local news programme would you be able to rely on "East end local news" to give you the right information that you wanted?"

All of my target audience gave a positive response by saying that they could rely on the programme because it shows and discusses a global issue on a very local scale.

(Question 6)- "What would encourage you to watch this news programme again?"

A member of my target audience said that a light hearted story at the end would encourage them to watch the news programme again, because it provides the target audience with light relief. Another person from the target audience responded by saying that the consistency of the news programme would encourage them to watch it again because it has a brand identity.

5.7 Record of Technical and Logistical Problems

Thursday 22/10/2009

I borrowed the camera and the tripod from school, so that I could film the rest of my scenes in the outside location that I chose, but when I put the cassette in the camera it gave me instructions to eject the cassette. Ejecting the cassette from the camera damaged the cassette tape, making me loose all the previous footage I had on the tape.

Friday 13/11/2009

While I was uploading the footage of the filming, the apple mac crashed and I lost all the editing i did. I had to cut the footage again because the work was unable to save.
