EVALUATION - QUESTION FOUR


http://youtu.be/-R5twJ_L42c

How did you use media technologies in the construction and resrach, planning and evaluation stages?
Notes on this question:

  • Research/Planning - The internet- used to reserach different real media products and on youtube. Advantages - quick and offers lots of information in an interactive way. Disadvantages - not always reliable and can be hard to find.
    My blog - used to store my process and information for my project. Good because there is no problem with losing work, but can take time to get used to.
    Programmes including Microsoft Word - used to create questionnaires, receive feedback and make notes on various things.
  • Construction Video Camera and Software (Windows movie maker) - A non linear editing software, which is easy and quick to use - aware of the programme before the project. Used various things on the programme, including the visual effects and speed.
    Video Camera - easy and simple to use - often hard to keep still when not using a tripod.
    Ipod - Used whilst filming to increase the accuracy of the lip sync
    Digital Camera - Used to take images of my possible locations and for my ancillary tasks. I then had to import these onto the computer (talk about this process) - easy to use/carry out.
    Picnik.com - Specific editing site used to edit images for my ancillary tasks. Simple compared to other editing sites, especially Photoshop.
    Scanner - Used to import various feedback forms and questionnaire results for audience. - This shows evidence on my blog.





EVALUATION - QUESTION THREE

What have you learnt from your audience feedback?

Before filming,I made notes on what to include in terms of this question:
  • Include examples of feedback I have received
  • Talk about the target audience but also classmates (technical feedback)
  • What went well?Include what they said was good about my video - The strong and clear narrative, the song choice, the persona and image of the actors, the shot types, camera movement and the lip syncing.
  • Improvements? The shakiness of the camera and the camera shot types - These are two areas that I could have improved in terms of technicality.



EVALUATION - QUESTION TWO

How effective is the combination of your main product and ancillary tasks?

Befpre starting my evalution by answering this question, I decided to make some notes on what I would need to include in terms of this question.

Things I need to include in this answer and to think about are:
  • Addressing the audience - is this successful? how is this done? In terms of my video, I will need to talk about my target audience - how my video will appeal to them (through the actors image, costume, persona) - and initially what the video is about, Regret (a love story)
  • How do they work well together?
    Talk about the continuity and style of both ancillary tasks and main products. Also mention the deign, the colours used (red,white,yellow) and how this is represented visually.

EVALUATION - IN WHAT WAYS DOES YOUR MEDIA PRODUCT USE, DEVELOP OR CHALLENGE FORMS AND CONVENTIONS OF REAL MEDIA PRODUCTS?

This is the first question needed to answer for my evaluation. Before filming my answer to this question, I decided to make some notes on what I would be able to say. By doing this, I am able to answer the question to know what I will need to say.
By filming my response to this question, I will be able to use my products e.g. my video in my evaluation as well.
