Coursework project: Evaluation questions – prep

On By 10carderjIn Evaluation TasksLeave a comment

Over the last week since we distributed the planning of the 7 evaluation questions between the four of us, we have each been planning and doing the preparation for our assigned questions.

My two questions are questions 3 and 5:

3. What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?

5. How did you attract/address your audience?

Both of those are videos; question 3 is clips of our finished movie opening and clips of other official movies, with the four of us talking over the top, and question 5 is the four of us talking to the camera.  For both of these, especially question 5, I wanted to create movie style opening credits, and I really like the idea of doing a Tarantino style one.  I started making credits for both questions, and recently finished the credits for question 5:

I have also started the credits for question 3 and I have also downloaded various different film clips and trailers that have aspects similar to our film, such as the opening credits of Se7en, the trailer for Dream House, various clips from Psycho, and the trailer for The Shining.  I cannot do much more with this question just yet apart from finish the credits as I am just waiting on the finished version of our movie opening so I can use the footage in the video.  But here is what I’ve done so far:

Coursework project: Evaluation questions – starting off and planning

On By 10carderjIn Evaluation TasksLeave a comment

This week we started working on our evaluation tasks in our groups, and in my group we decided that we wanted to do the tasks together as a group as it would be much easier.  Because there were 7 different questions we decided it would be a good idea to split the questions up between the 4 of us for the planning process, and then when all the questions were planned we will come together and answer them; we all got 2 questions each to plan, apart from Tom who got one because he is doing the majority of the editing, so already had enough work to do.  Here are the questions, the way we are planning to answer them, and the members of the group which are planning them:

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

Podcast

Patrick

2.  How does your media product represent particular social groups? (youth and old people, (Patrick’s grandma’s house features)

Stills of film with audio

Charles

3.  What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?

Play film and show clips at same time of films with similar events and discuss which companies made those films

Jake

4.  Who would be the audience for your media product? (teens to adults)

Video interviews with non group members

Charles

5.  How did you attract/address your audience?

Video – group talking to camera

Jake

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

Footage of editing and using camera with audio

Tom

7.  Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the full product?

Video – group sat talking to each other

Patrick

We decided collectively that we wanted to mainly make video and podcast style answers to the questions because it is more interesting and involves all of us, plus there are loads of different things you can do when making videos that will make it different each time, which is what we have tried to do.  We want to make them as interesting and as fun as possible, and for the two videos that I’m planning I want to have introductions and credits that are in the style of and inspired by famous movies.

Hopefully in the next week we will start making our answers to the questions after the planning process is all finished.
