Evaluation 2: Director's Commentary Preparation

As part of our evaluation we have chosen to complete a director's commentary to talk about how we completed camera work, editing, magazine cover and poster. To make this easier for our followers and audience we have written a script first which we can then post along with our director's commentary video.

Evaluation 3: Audience Feedback Questions

To gain valuable feedback our class set up a viewing of our trailer in front of peers such a GCSE Media Class and a Year 13 English Language Class. We gave them each this questionnaire and whilst watching our trailer for the second time they completed it for us. Here is our evaluation of the statistics from their comments.
