Evaluation plans

For our evaluation, we are going to do all the questions as a team as there are only two of us, meaning there is little point dividing up the questions.

How does your media product represent particular social groups?

To answer this question, we are planning to take screen shots of a conversation on Facebook about the representation of groups in our film. This relates directly to the question as it is a social networking site and form of social media, while it also reflects the main group that was represented in our film – young people, who are also the demographic due to the genre of horror, Western and comedy combined.



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

We will film ourselves writing the answer on various pieces of paper and then speed the video up. We can also draw pictures to make the answers we give more visual and engaging, which will help us to get across our answers.



Who would be the audience for your media product?

For this question we will film ourselves presenting our answer (maybe a fake audience using sound effects to relate to the question). This will allows us to clearly give our answer and explanation using the planning stages of our project and who it was originally intended for.



How did you attract / address your audience?

We will create posters with an explanation of methods used in the making of our film opening to attract the attention of a teenage audience, especially in relation to the genres we chose to work with. We will then film ourselves stapling the posters to walls in various places, to reflect the engagement of the audience in the question.



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

We will make a Prezi presentation online explaining our answer. Prezi is an example of one of the kinds of social media that we used in making and developing our film opening, making this answer like some sort of Prezi based Inception. Prezinception, if you will. I won’t.



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

Similarly to the genre convention question, we explain our answer in a voice over of a video. However, instead of film clips we will edit together clips of our preliminary task and our actual film opening so we can clearly display which areas we improved on and how the preliminary task helped us to develop our skills and ideas.
