Audience Feedback

In order to get some feedback about my short film and ancillary products, it was necessary to produce a questionnaire. I was familiar with the process of getting feedback, because for my AS production work, I had to gather audiences's feedback as well. Feedback is powerful as it helps people get on track, it serves as a guide to assist people to know how they and others perceive their performance. In my case, gathered feedback, will help me to improve my work based on information I will get from my questionnaire.

Here is the questionnaire which I produced in order to gather feedback.

Why Little White Lies rather than Calvert Journal

For my review magazine, as you already know from previous posts, I have chosen The Little White Lies,  rather than Calvert Journal. Despite the fact, that Calvert Journal attracts international audiences, which would serve beneficial for my production work, The Little White Lies specialise in featuring and reviewing different sorts of films. What is more importantly, Little White Lies also focuses on local festivals, such as WaterSprite Festival in Cambridge.  Because of this reason I prefer my work to be reviewed in magazine, such as Little White Lies. 

The Calvert Journal is unlikely to review independently produced films. Instead, it would focus on group projects, and feature specific details, whereas Little White Lies would focus on independent films, as well as review local festivals. Calvert Journal, however, features all the things associated with photography and art design, therefore, it would be not the best "location" to set my work in. 

Here is the Calvert Journal link. 

If you have followed the link above, you noticed that Calvert Journal website is mostly associated with youth projects about art&design. Featuring my film, in such magazine, would not suit the format of this particular journal. However, there is one strong advantage of Calvert Journal. It is associated with Russian culture, which would allow my film to be reviewed in Russian,  which would attract more and more audience, especially youths. 

Little White Lies, however, has completely different format. It reviews about newest films and famous actors' life. Here is a good Little White Line LINK , to compare with Calvert Journal. Furthermore, Little White Lies web-site has a separate section for reviews, where all the most "hot" films and short-films are settled. 

Little White Lies and Calvert Journal

In order to produce the review page, featuring my film, I have examined several magazines which specialize of reviews. 

Little White Lies is an excellent example of the abstract style, used to review all type of films. Because of this reason I decided to feature my work, in this specific magazine.The design of each issue is inspired by its feature film, often represented on the cover by an illustration of its lead actor. The cover film also influences interior aspects, such as editorial icons, chapter headings and custom typefaces. However, the overall template of the magazine remains the same. Therefore, it is a good magazine to feature your film in. Furthermore, It was called "the best-designed film magazine on the shelf" in The Guardian. Its content is split into three acts: the lead review, a series of feature articles inspired by the cover film, and the reviews section, which also includes interviews with directors and stars of upcoming movies. This suggests, that this particular review magazine has a lot of consumers, who would read about my work

Another magazine, which I wanted my review to be based on is Calvert Magazine. The Calvert Journal is a guide to the contemporary culture of the new east: the post-Soviet world, the Balkans and the former socialist states of central and eastern Europe. At the beginning, I wanted to base my review there, as this journal reflects the atmosphere of post Soviet era, which would suit my A2 production film, as a part of it was filmed in Russian.

HERE IS THE LINK FOR CALVERT JOURNAL

"Having launched in 2013 with a Russia-only focus, we are increasingly broadening our scope to include other countries, embracing the challenges involved in covering such a large and complex area. Based in London — and with content-sharing partnerships with international titles including The Guardian, Business Insider, Meduza and The Moscow Times"

The Calvert Journal also focuses abroad and attracts audiences from around the world. Putting my review there would help me to gather some more audiences throughout the globe, which would allow my film to move to international scale.
