Questionnaire Evaluation

This result showed us that the audience prefers the inclusion of a video diary within the documentary, our first intention was to do this with 'Becoming Vegan'. This result only enforced our original idea and we decided to make video diary's as effective as possible by tieing them with other scenes such as interviews with friends.

Once again we were pleased that we got this result as our documentary was going to originally be based around one person's journey and the documentation of that journey, with the help of video dairy's it gives the viewer a more intimate experience when watching as they can follow one's journey on screen and empathize.

This result didn't suprise me as BBC Three is popular network to air documentaries on, indeed I think that this result came up because BBC Three is more available to the public as one does not need a subscription to cable or satelitte networks. In general BBC Three is more open and available to a larger audience.

This result did surprise me as I thought people would not care whether or not we did add a disclaimer in the documentary, we decided not to add one because we saw it as one person's choice to become vegan and if someone cant adapt to becoming vegan they can easily stop. The benefits outweigh the risks.

This result seemingly indicated to us that UK Television does not air food related documentaries that often, we were slightly concerned whether or not peole would be interested in watching our documentary at first, but this result gave us some hope as if something that is not aired frequently is aired then it could spark some intrigue.

Becoming Vegan was our original approach so we was pleased with this result, I think that becoming vegan is a 'hot topic' within food and intrigues some. Becoming Vegan is very common within the world and to document someone's journey through the vegan lifestyle could help others decided whether or not to become vegan themselves. Not many people have all meat based diets or dairy based diets, being vegan however is a more common choice and I think this is why we got this result for a demand of a Vegan based documentary.

This result prompted us to go with a more eduacational aproach when adding content to the documentary, this is why we added facts and figures within the piece and why we included an interview with a food nutritionist. This documentary is all about giving the viewer a good insight into the vegan lifestyle, so it is logical to know that it has to be eduacational and informative.
