What individuals liked about our piece.
when receiving our feedback i found that the majority of individuals had said that they liked our use of sound effects. The way they like these was due to helping setting the scenes and also making the the drama sound more effective and dramatic e.g by the use of Police sirens. Also i found that many people had expressed that they liked the way in which we had used backing music behind the suicide scene as it helped add emotion to the part. One person also commented on the way in which our piece was good as it was a great way of gathering awareness as issues such as 'rape' are happening so often and the results of this issue need to be made aware to the public.
What Individuals disliked about our piece.
It was very important to find out what people disliked about our piece in order for us to know how we could improve our piece to make it as effective and convincing as possible. From our findings i found that many people said that there was slight shifts in sound volume in our piece which made our piece not run as smoothly as we had hoped. Also they had expressed that some of our sounds didn't quite fit in properly and made the audio vocals sound quiet. Also the other point i got from our audience feedback is that our emotions in the character voice could have been more convincing.
What could be improved technically.
Things i have found from our audience feedback that could be improved technically would be the levels of sounds e.g the walking within our drama sometimes sounded more like marching as the audio vocals were quieter than the sound effects. Also we had been informed that the whole drama seemed a bit rushed therefore needed slowing down to be able to understand.
What could be improved in relation to the story line/plot
In relation to the plot of our radio drama our audience feedback informed us that firstly the levels of emotion could be improved as it is such a deep subject the emotion levels should have been higher to have maximum effect. Also the audience would have liked it to hear more about certain characters e.g. Joe as we didn't express to much into the personality and life of him.
Overall the audience feedback we received was extremely helpful by allowing our group to understand where we could have improved our piece to make the best quality possible. From our findings i have realised that we could have recorded and rehearsed our script more times in order to have our radio drama not rushed and running smoothly. Also i have realised we should have taken into account that the sound levels would have a very large overall effect on the listeners. The emotion is our recording also could have been improved again by rehearsing more so and maybe researching into more depth of the issues of which we were expressing throughout our piece.
From the findings of this i have now gone on to adjust the aspects of which have become highlighted from our audience feedback. For example i have gone onto our radio drama on sound track pro and adjusted all the sound levels, when doing this i did find they were set to extremely high levels which definatley DID need adjusting. Also when adjusting the sounds i took into account the feedback indicating the vocals were at a lower level of sound then the sound effects so i therefore adjusted this so the vocals could be heard easier and the sound effects were at a appropriate level.
