Evaluation- 3. What have you learnt from your audience feedback?

3.
We received feedback from class mates, teachers and family which has helped us develop our whole portfolio during the production and post production process.
We researched local newspapers; we established that they were targeted at families and elderly people who wanted to know what is happening in the area and community. This was reflected in the content of the newspaper.
We presented our rough cut to our class and teachers initially, though they are not our specific target audience, however they do read these papers.
They gave us positive point’s feedback and ways of which we could improve. The positive feedback was how overall it looked professional and how the logo; an anchor, fitted appropriately with the North Somerset maritime theme. This linked the strap line/pun fitted in with the logo “the anchor of local life”. They found that the adverts were made to a high standard and were appropriate with local newspaper conventions.
Ways in which we could have improved, were with the stories. The structure and style of our news stories were too chronological. I struggled with this though out the process and had to carefully analyse and compare real newspaper stories to mine. This helped me to understand the narrative structure they use and allowed me to get right.
