AS Evaluation

This is my AS Evaluation, I created it as a prezi as it allowed me to develop my skils on the programme and create a more imaginative evaluation.

Copy of AS Media Evaluation on Prezi

Wordle!

wow, wordle is a really cool tool I have just found about which I will include in my final evaluation to ensure it looks as attractive as possible. Also, it is a good introduction into the evaluation as I have used words and areas I will explore in the presentation.



Evaluation Prep: Progression

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

Areas I have progressed in include:

Camera Rules:

match on action



shot/ reverse shot

Colour Adjustment



black and white sequence

Evaluation Prep: Technologies

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

To answer this question, I have decided to make a collage of the different technologies I have used throughout the project and then talk about them individually. Below, is what I will input within the presentation and discuss further:

Technologies Used

Evaluation Prep: Attracting/ Addressing Audience

How did you attract/address your audience?

There are different aspects that I will cover within this question and the main ways in which I attracted/ addressed the audience were through:

• relation to character
• horror conventions
• similarities to existing movies
• youtube/ social networks

Evaluation Prep: Audience

Who would be the audience for your media product?

Refer back to target market research, post no.31 - no. 33

Evaluation Prep: Product Distribution

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

Fox Searchlight

Warner Brothers

Evaluation Prep: Representation

How does your media product represent particular social groups?

I have decided to compare our character to "Kim" who is the main character within the thriller film Taken as they hold many similarities. These are the images I will use:

Lucy

Kim

Similarities:

• age (both 18yrs)
• ethnicity (white caucasian)
• appearance (long brown hair, brown eyes)
• both kidnapped
• both in education
• navie, vulnerable

Differences:

• locations of where characters are kidnapped
• background knowledge we are given differs

Evaluation Prep: Conventions of Real Products

Now that I have decided to conduct a prezi for my evaluation, I will need to collect different sources in order to fully answer the questions. I will therefore collect all of the resources I need and putting them on here before building my presentation.

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

In order to answer this question, I have created two nine frame analysis, the first is of the horror film SAW and the second is a nine frame analysis of my own film. This is because I have taken what I have learnt from real products and incorporated them within my own film.

Nine frame analysis: SAW

Nine frame analysis: Own film

Starting Evaluation

Now that we have finished the final product, it is time for me to start the last task of the project which is the evaluation of my work. I have decided that I will use prezi for this as it will allow me to answer all seven questions individually whilst still making links across the questions.

The next few posts, are all of the different information I am gathering to input in my evaluation as I will need to take information from a variety of sources therefore I will need to gather all of the materials I need before putting the presentation together.
