What have you learned from your audience feedback?
I collected audience feedback from my teachers and friends; I showed them my first practice animation and asked them to give a comment, a good point, a bad point and an improvement. Here is the data I received from four people:
1.
Comment: "It's really good and fun to watch"
Good Point: "It's very creative, I like how he's used different coloured materials to represent the sea."
Bad Point: "I like how 'The End' appears at the end of the clip, but would you really have this at the beginning of a programme?"
Improvement: "The clip could be improved on by removing 'The End' from the clip and replacing it with the name of the programme."
2.
Comment: "It's a wonderful creation and clearly a lot of time and effort has gone into creating it."
Good Point: "The clip is simplistic looking, but it has a great effect!"
Bad Point: "There isn't enough theme from a programme in the clip."
Improvement: "If a theme from a programme was added to the animation it would make it much more recognisable."
3.
Comment: "Very creative and different."
Good Point: "Used a range of materials for great effect."
Bad Point: "'The End' is used to finish the animation, but would this be used at the start of a programme?"
Improvement: "Discard 'The End' and it will be much improved."
4.
Comment: "Smooth and enjoyable clip."
Good Point: "Interesting and constructive"
Bad Point: "doesn't use any other technologies other then photos."
Improvement: "Could incorporate more technologies in the creation then just photos, perhaps edit the photos with effects in Photoshop?"
On receiving this feedback from my first animation I took on board that my next animation will involve the theme of my chosen programme, (Blue Peter) will involve more technologies such as photoshop, and will have the shows name at the end rather than ‘The End’
I let these same 4 people see my new animation and just asked for general comments comparing it to the previous one, here is what I received:
1.
“Its even more creative than the first! He has listened and removed ‘The End’ from the ending and replaced it with ‘Blue Peter’ a lot of hard work has gone into this...a well done is deserved.”
2.
“The clip is much more recognisable now it has the Blue Peter theme running through it. I love the music! So much effort has clearly lots of effort went in.”
3.
“He removed ‘The End’ as instructed and the animation now looks much better.”
4.
“Much more editing has gone into this version, and it looks much better, both clips are good, but this one is defiantly better.
As the above comments show, I have taken on board all of the opinions and criticism I received for my first animation and developed upon it to create my final animation.
