How to improve my work

In AS media, I learnt that getting constructive and positive feedback from different people helps your research and your improvement hugely. This is because everyone's opinions differ, and you might be able to see a trend or pattern in who likes or dislikes what. What works well is to have a focus group that you meet with every few weeks to discuss how you're doing and how you could improve. You could show two different pieces of work which are similar, but have slight differences, such as editing differences in photos, or different filming angles in the trailer. This gives them the choice and the opportunity to speak about why they prefer one version more than the other.

Another great way to get feedback is to create surveys on Survey Monkey. You can create your own questions, and you can send the questionaire to particular people, whether that's to a random audience, an older age group, younger age group or your peers. This gives you a huge range from different people and for you to see what works best. Some good questions include:
"What font do you like best and why?"
"How does the ending of the trailer make you feel?"
"What is the first thing that comes to mind when you think of horror trailers?"

Another way to improve is to look at other blogs and to see what content they are posting/have posted. I will also be looking at specific qualities for a particular target audience, such as story lines, locations or props.
