Early Consideration of Evaluation Questions

For us to understand what we need to do in the final product so that the moderator is happy we have looked at the evaluation questions.

In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?

The moderator is basically looking at whether our final product will be unique and not copy what has already been created. We can does this in different ways for example age, normally you have the teenagers as thugs and always committing crime but you could change that so that older people commit crime and the teenagers complain about them.

How does your media product represent particular social groups?

Stereotypes can be used here to show how we can flip what is expected to something that is not expected. Social groups are normally recognised as that woman and the elderly are weak and vulnerable but on the other hand the teenagers are thought of as thugs that commit crimes and cause damage. This sort of thing can easily be flipped meaning that ours will be different to the what other people have done in the past.

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

This question does not need to be talked about at this stage.This is because distribution is usually dealt with after the final product has been complete.

Who would be the audience for your media product?

Because we have not looked at the full storyline of our piece we cannot answer this but we have looked at the classification for the age ratings so we can base it off that.

How did you attract/address your audience?

This is something that needs to be taken in to account when we are planning as we need to keep the audiences attention as well as attract a certain audience to watch. As well as that we need to keep it similar to other thrillers but put our own spin on it to give us that unique quality that we want.

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

The answer to this question can only really be answered at the end because we have not started editing and finished the filming. But we still need to look at what the equipment can do and what effect it can have.

Looking back on the preliminary task what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the full product?

Once we have completed our final task we will have more of a idea of how much we have learned as we will be able to look back and see any difference with how we used to camera and whether we used more advance camera shots when we become more advanced or whether we didn't and haven't made much progress at all.
