Diary Entry Week 18

Over the last month I completed audience feedback for my media product. I filmed several people, including my target audience, teachers and my magazine model. I carried this out in order to create an audience profile, which will help me develop my ideas and work on areas in which I need to improve.

I encountered technological problems, where I was unable to import the video footage into my video software. I overcame this problem by converting the format from an .avi file to a .mov file which is easier to use (according to Mr. Robson)

Diary Entry Week 17

This week I filmed audience feedback being provided for my products. The person giving feedback was my model. I asked my model to give his feedback as I felt that it was important for his opinion on whether he and the magazine have successfully represented the target audience. I will continue to film other people in order to create a portfolio of audience feedback videos. I will use this to state whether or not I have effectively represented my specified target audience.

Several weeks ago, I encountered the problem of backwards compatibility, where I was not able to open Photoshop CS5 files in CS3. Last week I overcame this problem, by altering the "File Handling" options in preferences.
