The document provides feedback from audiences on the trailer and ancillary work produced by the student. From the feedback, the student learned that the music in the trailer was too loud and distracting, obscuring the dialogue. The student acted on this by lowering the music volume and increasing the dialogue volume. The student also learned that elements like the E4 logo and title were missing and added them. For the ancillary work, the student collaborated with others and incorporated feedback to improve elements like font, branding, and professional appearance.

4. How I learnt and acted upon
my feedback…
After receiving audience feedback, I acted upon this to
improve my products.
The trailer feedback made me learn that the music is
clearly a distraction to audiences. So, to improve this
error I reduced the level of the soundtrack and increase
the volume of the actors voices. It also made me
realised the E4 logo wasn’t involved in my trailer so I
added that on as well. Finally, the audience feedback
praised the transitions so I made sure to have clean cut
transitions from beginning to end – including the title
card – as I understand it helped the audience follow the
storyline.

5. Feedback from Ancillary 1 –
Magazine Front Cover

6. How I learnt and acted upon
my feedback…
I worked together for my ancillaries with a group
member – Catherine Tansey.
For our second draft attempt, we decided to use a more
brighter colour to accent the front cover story more. We
chose the colour yellow and think it made the cover
more distinct. Also, we took out the borders that
covered our characters face as we learnt it crowds her
image. We added the price to make the magazine more
realistic. Finally, we learnt it was important to have
your soap name on the cover which we hadn’t included.
So, to finish tweaking we added our soap name and
made sub headings more appropriate and sharp.

7. Feedback from Ancillary 2 -
Billboard

8. How I learnt and acted upon
my feedback…
Again, I worked together with Catherine Tansey on
this Ancillary.
We learnt from this audience feedback that we
needed to adjust the billboard to fit in with our
soap and brand criteria. We did this by adding an
E4 strap using the E4 style guide to help us. This
benefited us as we learnt the width of the strap and
where it needs to be placed on the poster. We also
changed the font to the correct E4 branding one
and edited the image on Photoshop to make it
more professional.
