Evaluation Questions

Now that we have finished filming and editing, it is time to think about evaluating our product.

1. In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?
This question is asking how my product uses similar and different techniques to real media products. I can do this by using a voice over over the final product, to point out some forms and conventions that are similar to other opening sequences that I have watched and different features. I will comment on things that all appear in most crime thriller opening sequences such as location, lighting, pace, music, shots and angles.

2. How does your media product represent particular social groups?
This question is asking how we have represented the characters in our product in a particular social group, which is similar to real life situations. I will comment on audiences expectations and stereotypes and the social groups we chose for our opening sequence. For this I could have screen shots of how we have represented each of the two characters in our product, showing shots, location etc. and analyse the shots on an A3 piece of paper and upload a picture of this.

3. What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?
For this question, I will think about the different types of media institutions such as cinemas, the type of cinema (large ones or small local ones) , online, TV channels such as bbc or itv, or a production company. To do this I will need to think about the audience I think would want to watch my product. I will need to think about the location, whether it will be distributed in small towns, or cities. These media institutions may distribute my product by making adverts and posters. I will also comment on why the media institution I decide on would publicise my product.
I could do this by making a collage of institutions and record myself talking about which one is suitable and why or create a website.

4. Who is the audience for your media product?
For this question, I will gather some adults together to watch my product and also gather people my age to watch my product and ask them who they think the audience would be for my product, and ask them why they think the audience they say is suitable.

5. How did you attract/address your audience?
For this, I will look at similar genres and their audiences and then create a poster to advertise the production to the specific audience. I could then create and advertising poster for the product, and write about it, about how it would attract the audience and about aspects on a poster.

6. What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?
This question is asking about what I have learnt about using technologies. and how they have helped me product my final production. For this I will create a PowerPoint to write about a range of technologies I have used.

7. Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the full product?
This question is asking what I have learnt in the process from the beginning - the preliminary task, to the full product. For this question, we will do it as a group video, explaining what we have learnt in the areas we worked on, e.g. the pre-production, production and post production. I will be talking about post production as this is the area I worked most on with the help and opinions from my group. Although we each took part in every step of the production, inputting our ideas, we had specific areas that we were in charge of.

Evaluation Question 1

This is my evaluation question one. For this question I thought it would be best to do a directors commentary so that I can show you what I am talking about. :)

Evaluation Question 2

This is my evaluation question two. For this I thought it would be best to show pictures of the two characters I show in my opening sequence, and annotate around the pictures. :)

Evaluation Question 3

For this question, I decided the best way to answer this question would be by creating a website.

This is the link for my website: http://ainebullerquestionthree.weebly.com

Evaluation Question 4

This is my media evaluation question 4. For This, I wanted to find out from people my age and adults, what they thought the genre is for my product and then who they thought the audience would be.
Before I interviewed them, I showed them my producd, then asked them my questions. I found out that most of them thought that it is a crome/thriller and could be action aswell. And the age they think my audience would be is from 14/15 and could go up to about 35 or mroe due to the nature of the product, however the actors are older teenagers, so would appeal mroe to them as they may be able to relate to it.
The gender could be both as there is both genders in the film, it would just depend on the person, whether they like this kind of film or not. :)

Evaluation Question 5

For this question, I thought it would be a good idea to creat a picture video to show how I will advertise my production, by creating a poster and then writing about each part of the poster. :)

This is the video I have created.
