We
classify those suggestions into some main parts and we will give some feedbacks
according to some important points.
1.
The products we used to remind people to aware of the problem may be more
women-used; it has less effect on men.
Actually,
we also care about men’s feeling by providing the picture of Takeshi Kaneshiro and
providing a brand, Biotherm,
with men line. Maybe we do need to provide other kind of brands which are more
familiar to men, like Gough. Although we can add some well-known products which
are widely used by all the people, like shampoo, but for leaping bunny this
organization, the main product is cosmetic. Hence, we do not want to confuse
the audience.
2. Audiences are
expecting more evidence and specific data about our arguments
especially serious consequence about animal experiments. For example, they want to know how many brands still test on animal and
some progress this leaping bunny have already make to stop these experiments.
We do think it is a good suggestion because using
more data evidence will be more persuasive. Although we already
put the list of brands without animal testing in our blog, but we still ignore the
positive progress that leaping bunny has made, which is really a good evidence
to make Hong Kong people to believe in this organization.
3.
there is one comment suggest that more information should be given in the last
part of video to tell people what they should do for preventing the bunny testing,
“such as encourage people not to use cosmetic”.
We
agree with that more information should be given to guide audience to do better
prevent animal testing, but the suggestion that encourage people not to use
cosmetic may be not realistic. And we also consider that if a video is too long,
audience may lose patient to go through it. Our main goal is to convey that the
issue of animals testing is serious and you can help by choosing a product with
leaping bunny’s logo and if you are interested in leaping bunny, you can go to
the website.
4.
Some comments said that the pictures used in our video are too ugly and
horrible that maybe people cannot handle it.
We
do think using these terrible and cruel pictures can make visual impact on
audience, but perhaps we should remind audience of this by saying that the
content of the video maybe some kind of ugly and please prepare yourself
mentally. And according to one comment, other way to reduce the horrible
feeling is to use some drawings instead of real photos. We think it is a kind
suggestion, but maybe the outcome or influence will be discounted.
5.
One comments pointed out that it is difficult to make the video effective in
the cultural context of Hong Kong. The audiences want to know where they can
find “cruelty-free” cosmetics products in Hong Kong. It was suggested that our
group should show some photos of popular cruelty free brands in Hong Kong.
Actually,
we think it is a good idea. But given that the length and effectiveness of
video, we have to consider more on that suggestion. Maybe giving some logos of
Hong Kong brands at the part of “follow our guidance” in the video can be
effective.
6.
People suggested us to elaborate the topic using more logos, such as providing
supporting evidence why animal testing can be obsolete and how safe are the
cruelty-free products.
We agree with that providing evidence on why animal testing can be obsolete and how safe are the cruelty-free products is a way to be more persuasive. But putting more logos may confused our audience. In fact what we want to promote is just the organization of leaping bunny. But if this assignment is just for the topic, we are pleased to introduce more similar organizations to our audiences.

7.
Some audience suggest that we can try some personification (e.g. add monologues
of animal within the picture) to convey the painful feelings of animals to our
audience.
We
do like this idea because that will help our audience to empathy with those poor
animals, which is more persuasive. This idea will work in concert with well the
part of “if we are used in experiments”.
Finally,
we want to express our thanks again for your attention and suggestions.
