Evaluation Notes

1. In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?
- The music is a generic convention because it is a simple looped composition.
- It creates suspense in the sequence and helps to link the spectator to the scene.
- We have used one male character in our sequence which is stereotypical towards males.
- We used artificial light which increased tension in the scene.

2. How does your media product represent particular social groups?
-It represents isolation of individuals, emphasising that some people have no social groups, and the effect that this can have on someone.
-It also has a stereotypical view of a male, as we chose to use a male instead of a female as this is a more traditional view of a male.

3. What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?
-I think that our film would be for internet use only, I feel that it is not professional enough to go into a cinema or picture house. Therefore I feel that the film should be presented on the internet for people to view. Unless it was filmed and produced professionally, then this is the place for our film.

4. Who would be the audience for your media product?
-I think that young adults are our target audience as it is definitely not a child’s film but would not be suitable for the elderly either. Young adults would be our target group but I think that adults in general would suit this film.

5. How did you attract/address your audience?
-The suspense and tension allow the spectator to get involved in the sequence and try to understand the meaning of what is happening.
-This targets young adults as it lets them use their mind and they are more capable of trying to figure out aims and understanding.
-It specifically has confusing things in the sequence as it targets this audience.

6. What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing the product?
-The dolly was too big to fit in the media room so we had to do the filming hand held.
-The programmes were useful

7. Looking back to your preliminary task, what do you feel that you have learnt in the progression from it to the full product?
-I have learnt that changing shots can be more effective.
-The use of different shots and how they can be used.


Here are just a few ideas for our group to get us started on the evaluation. We are all writing our own evaluation but we need to include the same things. This is just guidlines for understanding the questions.
