Evaluation Planning

The first question I plan to do is:

• In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products

There are 4 ways that i believe would be best for answering this question; doing a prezi presentation, pop up video, side by side comparison and 9 key frames.

However i feel that the best one to use would be a 9 key frames for the evaluative question. This is because with the 9 frames i can see where in the opening we have challenged or conformed to conventions of real media products while still being able to do it quickly and easily.

Furthermore, from the question i can gather that it is necessary that i pick from our opening sequence where we have challenged and conformed to conventions of similar media pieces. In order to do this i will look at similar genre movie openings, to that of our film opening and make key comparisons.

Some of my main points will include, analysing where we have stuck to the conventions of real media products and where we have steered our own way. I will also show how we have used conventional themes and styles in our opening, when analysing the question. I will also look to explain how our decisions to conform and also divert from some conventions has helped aid the narrative of our film, intrigue the audience, the links to the institution, where it has led to an understanding of the genre and how the people and aspects of the opening are represented in relation to conventional sways.

After doing some added research on examples of 9 key frames I also found a tumblr page that used 9 key frames to show how a film developed, challenged and conformed to conventions of typical media pieces, relative to that genre.

The next question is:

• How does your media product represent particular social groups

For these question i think it would be best to create, either a pow toons cartoon or pixton. This is because in these i can easily, but creatively show how social groups are represented in my media piece.

It is most likely, however, that i will use pixton to answer the question, where i will talk about: stereotypes, counter-types and refer to common social groups depending on - gender, age, class, culture & ethnicity, e.c.t.

Below is a snippet of an example of a pixton: 

The next question is: 

• What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why

This is a question that i have already similarly done on my blog in a v-log. However i plan to use another creative software to answer the question.

It is most likely that i will use an info-graphic from "infogr.com" in order to answer the question.

My main points will outline how the media institution would be good in terms of finance, marketing and in relation to my audience and why i have chosen the distribution company in the first place. I will also link to the key concepts of how choosing this media distribution company will relate to the genre of my film, its relation to the film's narrative and how it links to the audience.

• Who would be the audience for your media product

For this question i plan to create a voki, explaining who my audience is likely to be, their profile, the secondary audience and more in relation to who the audience for my media product would be.

I will outline the psycographic profile of my audience, their demographics: (age, gender, culture, ect) and also their socioeconomic class, in order to thoroughly explain who my audience is likely to be and what they are likely to look like.

The next question is:

• How did you attract/address your audience

The plan for this question is to do a reaction video, where an audience or person will view my media product and give feedback as to what they thought about the product, where it was good and where improvements could be made, and overall what appealed to them, to attract them to the video.

The video will include the audience being shown as they watch my product and the video in the top corner so that people watching the reaction video can also see my media product.

From this video I will also be able to further explain the sort of audience that my media product will attract.

Below is an example of what my reaction video will look like:

 

• What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing the product

For this question I will need to outline all the pieces of technology that I have used, that have helped me in producing my final media product and explain what I have learnt about the technology in the process of creating my media product.

In order to do this effectively and yet still make the answering of the question look attractive, I plan to create a magazine, listing each piece of technology I had used, with pictures, and stating what i've learnt in using them and how I have improved in media as a result of them. These technologies will not only include devices, but also websites and program softwares.

Below is my plan for the magazine, answering the question.

The final question is:

• Looking back to your preliminary task, what do you feel that you have learnt in the progression from it to the full product.

For this final question I felt that the best way to answer it would be to do an interview, however I decided that I wanted to add a twist and therefore planned to interview myself in a podcast, stating what I have learnt in the progression from the preliminary task to the full product, the different pieces of technology I have had to have used, where I have improved since the preliminary task and more.
