Videos for our evaluation.

Question One:





Question Two:






Question Four + Seven:


:

Question 3
the answer to question 3 is...
For the distribution of the media product, we would include institution like...
  • The Cinema
  • Schools
Me and Sophie would distribute the video by putting it on the internet on social networking sites like youtube and facebook as they are more popular to the teenage market that we are aiming for.
Question 5
For our audience, we addressed and attracted them by sending out questionnaries and putting up flyer's. We also looked at the representation for the characters to get more of a response and more attention from the ayudience. To make our film opening visually interesting we used a variety of shots ranging from extreme close-ups to long shots. When the audience sees the devil child as murderous intentions they become engaged in the storyline as it is an unexpected twist and the suspense leads them to keep watching. We hope to attract our audience’s attention through a series of juxtapositions.
Question 6
The Mac computers in the college (media pit) that we used had the programme from the mac that we were instructed to use from the teachers, which is what we used in order to make our film. It's a piece of software I've never used before, but now feel quite confident with. We experimented with the colours from the camera shots and experimented with the fonts, sounds etc, as to make a more effective peice.

Lesson 29th of April

For today's lesson, me and Sophie went outside and started to do our evaluation. As yesterday I was ill, Sophie started to prepare the evaluation by the question's; making notes and adding titles to the project on her net book. As the deadline is 3pm on Friday the 30th of April.

23rd of April

In today's lesson, me an Sophie secured the audience feedback by making sure that the two people, of a similar age range was able to do some audience feedback. On Monday or Tuesday me and Sophie will be conducting our audience research. This will be done, through the lunch period or through the break period as we will have more time and it will be quieter as apposed to when the class is in the room. Also we will be doing this at break or dinner as it means that the people who will be in the research, will be able to come with out coming out of classes and so Emma and Dan won't e embarrassed to be recorded with people watching.

Audience Feedback

For the audience feedback, we will be asking one boy and girl of the similar age to watch the film. The two people will be Emma Richards (who co starred in the miniature production of the opening sequence to "Re-Incarnation: The List) and a boy. For the boy there are four different possibilities. They are...
  • Daniel Lee Wood
  • Andrew Scott
  • Jake Crewe
  • Bruce Astill

At break, we will be asking these boys to see if they would participate as it would be against the law and legislation's to make them participate.

For the audience feedback we will be asking two people to watch the opening to our short production. Then me and Sophie will be asking them the following questions and ask them to elaborate on them. The questions are...

1. What did you think of the opening sequence?

2. What would you say the age range is and why?

3. If you seen this opening sequence on a social networking site like Face book/Bebo or on YouTube would you want to watch the rest?

4. If you could change one thing on it, what would it be?

5. What genre would you categorise this as?

6.What are the strengths and weakness' of the opening sequence?

7. Any extra comments?

Evaluation Task

For the rest of the week, and next we me and Sophie will be planning our evaluation. As for the evaluation the questions we are going to be answering today are...
1. In what does your media product challenge forms and conventions of products?
2. Hows does your media product represent particular social group?
3. What kind of media institutions must distribute your media product? Why?
4. Who would you attract /address your audience?
5. What have you learnt about technology's from the process of constructing this product?
6. Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in this progression from it to the final media product?
7. Who would be the target audience for your media product?
In today's lesson, me and Sophie Brown came up with a range of idea's of how to put the evaluation on the blog. Me and Sophie came up with about 9 different idea's of how to go about the way of putting the evaluation on the blog. The deadline for our evaluation is the 30Th of April.
  • These are the idea's that we have came up with...
    Type it up - If we do this it isn't a good way of showing the different technological elements. As to type it up would also show a low level of computer skill.

  • A Video of both of us either having a discussion or answering questions on a mobile phone.

  • A video on the mac - with a directory commentary.

  • A Miniature video- like the final piece more like a video

  • Voice over whilst at settings

  • Screen Grabs from existing media and from our miniature film.

  • The target audience speaking
  • A PowerPoint - with maybe a voice over or different slides of us talking on a video

Either way, me and Sophie will not being using a conventional idea of having an essay, also we wont be reading out an essay as you need the skill as not to sound boring and not to sound unrehearsed and strict.

These are the technological elements we intend to use.
