Evaluation Questions

  1.  

  1. In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products? Analyse and explain how your documentary is conventional. Link this back to your research. Use screen shots and clips of documentaries that inspired yours. Explain features that are typical – what is the documentary mode of address? Use pictures to show how it is conventional (choose 6 shots and explain how they conform).
  2. How effective is the combination of your main product and ancillary texts? Discuss how your supporting pieces would attract your target audience. How have the supporting pieces enhanced the meaning and the messages that your documentary is trying to convey? Be specific and compare your supporting pieces to real examples (shrink your advert and find a real one to compare it to. Analyse and compare the similarities).
  3. What have you learned from your audience feedback? For this you must have screened your final piece to an audience – film this if possible and load it onto your blog. Film initial feedback. Post your video onto YouTube and get screen shots of the comments left. Include a link to it in your blog. Explain what your audience liked and how your piece could be improved.
  4. How did you use media technologies in the construction and research, planning and evaluation stages? What different technologies have you used? (Sony cameras. Apple Macbooks, DaFont, Blogger, Paint, Photoshop, digital cameras, tripod, YouTube, PowerPoint, Garage Band…). Don’t just SAY what you used – be creative and more visual! Take a picture of each technology (or logo) and create an image board (9-12 shots). Upload screen shots of work in progress. How has your project been constructed through the use of digital media?
