In what ways does my media product use, develop or challenge form and conventions of real media products?
For the first part of my evaluation, I filmed myself discussing my media product; why certain things were done the way in which they were done, how my film compares to real media products and whether I thought the project as a whole was a success or not. The video of me discussing my media product can be viewed below.
How did my media product represent particular social groups?
Next, I evaluated how different social groups, men and women, were represented in my thriller. I also compared characters in my thriller to characters of real thrillers and drew similarities in their characterisation which helps show how real thrillers influenced mine.
What kind of media institution might distribute my film and why?
I then considered the distribution of my film. I thought of where my film might be seen, what kind of distribution could be used for my film and whether it could be distributed digitally or not, the pros and cons of distributing it in different ways, and how my film compares to a professional film. I created a PowerPoint presentation to present this aspect of my evaluation, which can be viewed below.
Who would the audience be for my media product?
To help outline the target audience for my thriller, I interviewed some of my friends who were in my target audience and asked for their opinions on how appealing my film was to them, and if they thought that if my thriller reflected the age certificate of 15 that I had decided on. I also justified my decision of making my film a 15 and asked whether they thought my thriller would appeal to people who were not necessarily in my target audience. I noted down what my friends said and their opinions helped me to draw some conclusions.
How did I attract and address my audience?
I looked back over my target audience questionnaire throughout the production of my thriller opening as I wanted to appeal to the target audience as much as possible by reacting to their answers on my questionnaire and including the most popular answers in my thriller whilst leaving out the less popular aspects. I feel that my final production is suitable for my target audience because of this. I looked back over my thriller and made note of where I included elements that my target audience wanted in my opening.
What have I learnt about technologies from the process of constructing my media product?
I created a presentation on Prezi.com to evaluate my use of technology and what I had learned about technology during the course of the project. That presentation can be viewed below - use the right arrow to navigate around my presentation.
Looking back at my preliminary task, what do I feel I have learnt in the progression from it to the full product?
Finally, I evaluated the journey from my preliminary task that I produced at the start of the project to the final product. I produced an audio commentary to go over my film which evaluates my progressions as well as discussing how well my film fits the brief and compares to real thriller films. The video with commentary can be viewed below.
