Evaluation

In total we handed out 20 questionnaires, 10 to females and 10 to males. From the questionnaire, we concluded that our target audience are most interested in Fly on the wall and Reality type documentaries, usually shown on Channel 4. We used this information and decided that it would be appropriate to show the documentary we have produced on Channel 4. The type of documentary we decided to produce is fly on the wall but because we found our target audience also like reality documentaries we also tried to incorporate this into what we produced. Many participants said they enjoyed watching 'Educating Essex' so we thought it would be a good idea to produce a similar documentary to this because it seems that it is something that interests our target audience. We got a mixed response from an equal group of females and males, from all differant age ranges. We discovered that people of all ages and genders would be interested in a School based documentary, however more so females then males. We found this discovery very useful because we thought Teaching Teens would therefor satisfy everyone.
