George st Final Cut - w/ evaluation Q3 - Audience feedback

Q3) What have you learnt from audience feedback?

• The mise en scene works well combined with the characters, the Dark lighting that Paul (Jack Kane) is shown in clearly shows him as a villian but is a little too dark and would have benefited from being filmed with a some un-natrual light from a lamp or a small desk light.
•  The Parallel narratives work well together, complimenting each other with the tone and the lighting of the scene.
• The genre is obvious and created through the combination of Mise en scene, lighting, dialouge and sound.
• As the scenes are edited to have a darker tint to them and sets out the genre and tone of the soap. through the use of setting, a large house in a country setting, the audience is able to tell the class of the characters.
• Audiences enjoy conflict and the conflict between the two main characters over the loss of their baby is well presented, clearly showing the anger whilst creating meaning by the way they are shown on camera, both characters shown is the same shots to represent their closeness as a family but then shot in seperate shots and over the shoulder shots to show them as apart and in conflict.
• The themes are familiar to the audience and follow the main conventions of a soap opera, the northern feel of the soap is generated through the setting and the accents. the representation of reigon and class all effect the soap to make it more believable and easier for an audience to appreciate and follow.
• Though the music is overpowering on one part of dialouge, it does fit well with the trailer, the music matches the editing and cutting of the clips to generate thought beats and make the audience engage with the image and makes the product more fluent and smooth. the minor key that the song is in matches the downbeat nature of the soap again creating meaning within the images.
• Though the music is an instrumental piece it fits well with the trailer, but other products often benefited from lyrics that match the themes of the show, this would have made the trailer easier to relate with for some viewers, also the music used in trailers is usually more popular, or a top 40 hit to attract more viewers as more people are familiar with the music.
• Aimed towards a 16-24 year old audience. Conventional target audience and the storylines, style of the show and themes are all suitable for this age range.
• The storytelling is coherent and the audience is able to relate to the characters due to their age and the storyline, mainly the break up storyline, the other 2 are quite niche situations.
• The trailer works well apart from the opening title card which could have been added in keynote, or as a title instead of the Jpeg I uploaded. when compared to the other title cards, the 'This week on George st' doesn't work as well.
• The editing works well as it speeds up to increase tension, it gives it a sense that all the events are culminating and colliding. works especially well in the final sharply cut shots of the phones. 
• Could have benefited from a well known song instead of the obscure one to attract more viewers.
