Evaluation Part 7: Comparing my Preliminary task to my final product

Evaluation: Part 7 (final Part)

Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the full product?

Evaluation Part 6: New Technologies learned

Music is Applause by Lady Gaga

Some of this part of the Evaluation does link in with Part 7, and vice versa, though this video covers most of it, I may repeat myself in a few posts ahead. 

Also, I forgot to mention https://bubbl.us/ in the video - but it is a mind map making website where it makes brainstorming ideas a lot quicker and easier.
And Stupeflix, which allowed me to create my first video for free on their website with a variety of templates to choose from to make my video more personal, but easy to use and read.

Evaluation Part 4: Audience Feedback Results

Evaluation part 4: Audience Feedback

For part of my audience feedback I used a questionnaire.
My questionnaire is both open and closed, with the ability to comment and the closed yes or no answers too, to give a larger view on the overall opinion of my magazine.

Open questionnaire: 
Definition: Where the audience can give their full opinion in their own words
Positives: It shows what the audience is really thinking; it gives quotes on specific good and bad things that may not be brought up in a closed questionnaire.
Negatives: With an open questionnaire, statistics are almost impossible to calculate as the data is all different opinions, therefore, the data can't be processed onto a graph to show progress.

Closed Questionnaire: 
Definition: Where the audience answer set questions that have set answers (e.g. Yes or No)
Positives: It gives set data which will enable you to calculate averages and other numbers to show the magazines popularity (e.g. predicted sales)
Negatives: The audience doesn't get to voice their true opinions, so, some bits that the audience feels is week, won't get the attention brought to it that it needs.
