Evaluation Questions

The questions which I had to answer for my evaluation can be seen listed below. I have created all the questions and my answers on PowerPoint and have put them in my fold in the Media Area. I have also included the first question with both PowerPoint and Prezi, my Prezi presentation can be seen a previous post. 

 

Evaluation questions:

1. What ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?
2. How does your media product represent particular social groups?
3. What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?
4. Who would be the audience for your media product?
5. How did you attract/address your audience?
6. What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?
7. Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the full product?

Prezi (Question 1)

Here is my Prezi presentation for Question 1 (In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?) The link to my Prezi presentation is below:

Interview of Media Project

Here is a video clip of me evaluating our group's final project by being interviewed on some relevant questions relating to the film. I apologise for my lack of interviewing skills as I was a little nervous and was not used to this situation, however, I believe I answered the questions to the best of my ability.

 

"The Devil's Playground"

After all our hard work and determination we are glad that we managed to complete our film with plenty of time without rushing. This was to ensure that we could produce it to the best of our abilities. In order to get to this stage, we all worked well together with little to no confrontations, carrying out our roles effectively to produce this piece. Personally, I would say that I had the easiest job on this project as it came very naturally to me; this isn't to say, however, that I don't appreciate the effort of the performances given by Ben (our leading actor), Kirsty (our leading actress), Liam (our Director and Camera-Man) and Paddy (our Editor). I believe that the acting was to a very professional standard as well as the camera work; however I must say that the film would not be what it is without Paddy's amazing editing skills which are the finishing touches on, what I have found to be, a fantastic project.

Please watch and enjoy.

Evaluation of Preliminary Task

Things that went well:

• The jerky editing gives the film the an uneasy feel of a thriller/ drama.
• The different camera angles explored worked quite well.
• Some of the acting was good in moments and was fluent with some actors in the film. 

Things that went wrong:  

• The lighting was too dark as sometimes the characters facial expressions are not picked up by the camera and in other places it was too bright and the same reason occurred. And the sound quality was scratchy in parts of the clip.
• Some of the acting was quite poor throughout the film and brought the mood and atmosphere of the film down. This was very disappointing as the storyline and the way it was filmed was very good.  
  

Things that I would change:

• If I could I would change the scene that the filming was done in to a more appropriate venue like an office or more formal scenery.
