Evaluation Questions

Throughout this post I will be explaining in detail each of the seven evaluation questions about my media final opening sequence, I will analyse and clarify each of the questions in my own words to understand what I have to do for each question and what creative methods I could use to answer each question.

1. In what ways does your media use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?

• First, this question requires me to think about and know what the words "use, develop or challenge forms and conventions" mean and how my media product reflects real media products of horror genres. This would allow me to show what aspects we have used from these products. I have found that these include the range of different camera shots, movements, angles, compostition and sounds that we have used and how it represents real media products.

• It also requires me to write about what different shots and angles we have moved to meet the different skills and coventions of a real media product.

• Our group have decided to do a group voice over of this question, to allow us all to describe how and why we have used certain shots.

2. How does your media product represent particular social groups?

• This question is asking how our media product represents certain groups in society and how our main character fits in with certain social groups. 

• I will explain how the main character represents social groups by describing ethnicity, gender, social class, subcultures and differences between male and female representation. This will help me explain why we have chosen the character to be represented in that way and how certain people may or may not reflect the character.

• For this quesion, I could present it in a range of ways including a powerpoint, video or animation. 

3. What kind of institution might distribute your media product and why?

• This question is asking me to think about different companies that product films to see which ones will be suitable for my media product and which ones won't. I should find out what an insititution is to get a clear picture of what I need to write about.

• The insitition would need to be specific and appropriate for my product which is why I will describe good and bad institutions. For example, Netflix, Warner Brothers, Universal and Disney.

• For this question I will present it in an animation form.

4. Who would be the audience for your media product?

• First, I have to think about what type of audiences are suitable for my media product, through research I have done earlier in my blog I have found that a 12 or 15 rating may be appropriate. Although, I will explain this in detail through audience responses, social media for ratings, gender and age.

• This is specifically asking me who would want/be appropriate to watch my opening sequence.

• I will present this question as a powerpoint/prezi style with a questionnaire to show my results of the audience research.

5. How did you attract/address your audience?

• This question is asking me how I have attracted and addressed the audience to meet their needs of the horror genre film by thinking about what we have included in our opening sequence to appeal to an audience.

• Through this I will ask a range of my peers and social media what they think the most important aspects of a horror films are to then evaluate whether we have included these in our opening sequence.

• For this question, I will present it in a Vlog/ Powerpoint way of peoples responses and my own interpretation.

6. What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?

• First of all, for this question I need to understand what the word technologies means and what it involves to make sure that I have an accurate and greater understanding of what I need to do. 

• It is asking me how I have used specific technologies to help develop and construct my media product to see how effective and useful they were.

• For this question I will use a powerpoint to explain the technologies with a single technology on each slide is as much detail as possible.

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 important to understand what I have learnt from the preliminary task to my main task by thinking about what aspects have helped me and how my media knowledge has developed since doing this. It is asking me if I have used any conventions, shots or angles from the preliminary task to the full task.

• Also, this question requires me to think about what improvements I could have made or what I have used in the final task that I did not use in the preliminary task.

• I will answer this question in a group discussion to allow us all to have our own opinions of how we have used, developed and challeneged forms and conventions throughout our opening sequence and what we each have learnt.

Next, I will start to make the evaluation questions in as much detail as possible on how effective our media product is.
