Question 1

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

I have created a directors commentary using examples from my own trailer, poster and website and comparing it with pre existing examples from the same genre that influenced me in production

Question 2

How effective is the combination of your main product and ancillary texts?

For question 2 of my evaluation, I have created a multi media poster using Glogster. This allowed me to combine all my images, including examples from real media products, and embed our trailer video from youtube. I tried to create three columns to separate my trailer and 2 ancillary products, and then create links between them to show synergy across all three.

Question 3

What have you learned from your audience feedback?

For this question I used Videoscribe to create the visual mind map, whilst also using iMovie to edit the video with our focus group recording and included a voiceover to narrate

Question 4

How did you use media technologies in the construction and research, planning and evaluation stages?

I used piktochart to create an infographic which allowed me to display the range of all the media techologies I have used over the course of creating me trailer, from conception to evaluation.

Evaluation Process

For my evaluation I am trying to use as many different and interesting forms of media as possible, whilst still making them relevant to the type of question I am using them for.

Question 2
For this question I have decided to use 'Glogster' which is a website that allows you to make multimedia posters. I thought this would be efficient to use as over the combination of my main product and ancillary products I have videos, pictures and the combination of both on the promotional website I created. In this poster I can take examples across all three products and place them all together.

Question 3
I am using a tool called VideoScribe for this question, which creates a whiteboard type of video and can be seen as a mindmap at the end. For myself I have many different aspects to this question to brain storm because I have audience feedback from surveys, on social media, and on the different drafts of our trailer. I thought this would be an interesting visual aspect and I could spilt up my sections to answer, and because I have not used VideoScribe before it is a new for of media for me.

Question 4
I have used the infogram website 'Piktochart' for this question because I wanted to use a lot of images and icons to show the different hardwares and softwares I have used over all the stages. I also have found it handy to clearly split up the construction, research, planning and evaluation stages because infograms can be so visual.

Evaluation

Fourth Draft

Since our last draft, we made improvements to the second voiceover by re-recording it in the same room as we did the first one so that the audio quality was the same. We also added an inter title of "a story about illness, loneliness and misplaced friendships" and moved around and added clips so that these fell on moments that were relevant to the inter title. For example as you can see in this preview there is a clip of Izzy spinning and it says "and misplaced friendships" hinting that Izzy betrays her friendship with Ava.
