Evaluation Question 1

I answered this question in the style of a directors commentary as this allowed my to talked about the visual whilst it was on the screen.

Evaluation Question 2

Media evaluation question 2 transcript - this is what the video reads in case it's unclear.

Within our media product we only have one character over all she represents the social group of a young female.

Megan’s character is around 18 years old, this is similar to our target audience which can help them relate to her. She is shown in the mirror which suggests that she is aware of how she looks, from Megan’s appearance the audience is able to see that she is a young female therefore representing that particular social group. During the first minute Megan is wearing light colours, she also has light hair and a bright face and this will help the audience identify her as a protagonist.

My group and I wanted the character to come across average as this follows the social groups in similar opening sequences I had watched.

She has clothes that are similar and popular with other girls her age.

The One Direction mug gives some insight to her interests and shows that she is in touch with popular culture and adds to the representation that she is a normal girl with a normal life.  The audience is able to see Megan in her own environment whilst she is following her routine, the order of this situation is able to portray Megan as being non-threatening.

Once Megan leaves her own environment and enters out side her body language changes and she becomes shifty, she is now also wearing black which helps emphasize this uncertainty.

Media often plays of stereotypes we decided to do this as we wanted as we wanted Megan to come venerable but not helpless. Despite her shifty behaviors Megan remains to have an open expression and clear face which helps represent her as honest.

However the deeper story of our plot portrays Megan’s character as having hidden secrets. Twisting her stereotype is good way to shock the audience and keep them guessing. 
From our opening sequence Megan is able to come across as an average girl, but it also give hints the audience that every thing is not always as it seems.

When answering this question I realized that I had used many media technologies whilst planning my final task, however I only decided to write about the most useful ones through out my production as a whole.

Evaluation Question 7

Approaching this question my group and I decided the best way to answer it was in the style of a group discussion. To begin we started by talking about what we had learnt over all and after we spoke about our own individual areas of production.

Evaluation Questions

Now that my group and I are drawing closer to finishing our final production we are begging to think about the evaluation.
For the evaluation I will need to answer seven questions about the pre, post and final production as well as audiences and processes. When responding to the question I will aim to answer them in different ways that are unique from each other.

Questions:
1. In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?-
This question is asking me to identify how my final product is similar to real media products and in what ways it is different.
For this question I could answer in the style of a director’s commentary. By talking over the opening sequence I will be able to identify forms and conventions as well as having the visual on the screen as a reference.

2. How does your media product represent particular social groups?
This question is asking me how the characters in my opening sequence represent those of a similar age or group with in real life.

3. What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?
For this question I am required to identify where would be the best place to show my opening sequence and reasons for why that would be.

4. Who would be the audience for your media product?
To answer this question I need to identify who would be the best audience for my opening sequence and who the film is aimed at.

5. How did you attract/address your audience?-
To answer question 5 I could look at similar genres and their audiences in order to address my audience. To attract I will create a poster as a form of advertising which would be able to promote the product.

6. What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?
This question is asking me to evaluate and identify the things I learnt from the technologies I have used throughout the whole production; this includes pre, post and production I could answer this question in the form of a presentation as I will able show the technologies I used and write about the positives and negatives.

7. Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the full product?-
When answering this question it was suggestion we could approach it in the style of a group discussion. Each member of our group will talk briefly about what they feel that they have learnt and gained since the preliminary, and then we will all talk individually about the specific areas of our final product, mine being editing.
