- 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).
- 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).
- 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.
- 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?
