Harvey's Evaluation Plan

Evaluation Question Proposals

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

To answer this question, our group will be completing a director’s commentary of the film together. We will discuss how our film uses the codes and conventions of traditional thriller films including:

·         Crime

·         Mystery

·         Murder
Question 2: How does your media product present particular social groups?
For this question, I intend on creating a poster style document  in which I will explain how our film presents a particular social group, in our case, two assassins and a casino owner. I will talk about how their clothing shows their character as well as their actions throughout the opening to the film. I will also attempt to mention mise-en-scene as well as the costumes.
Question 3: What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?
For this question I will create a PowerPoint presentation of around five or so slides in which I will discuss the different types of institutions within media i.e Conglomerates, independents etc. I will also talk about their characteristics and which of the two would be more likely to pick up our film to distribute it. 
Question 4: Who would be the audience for your media product?
To answer this question I want to create a leaflet design from publisher and fill it with information about our target audience but also explain how our group came to the conclusion that that particular group was our target. 

Question 5: How did you attract/address your audience?

I plan to answer this question I plan to write a publisher article on various ways we could attract our target audience and how we could then address that same audience internally or externally from our film.

Question 6: What have you learnt about technologies from`the process of constructing this product?

For this question I intend on creating a PowerPoint presentation explaining what I have learnt about the technological aspects of creating a short film.  I aiming that this will be around 5-10 slides long and explain clearly the technological knowledge I have earned during the media course. These will include:

·         Editing

·         Camerawork

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

For this question I will be focusing on the new and existing practical skills that I have improved since my preliminary task. I will make comparisons between my thriller film and the preliminary task film we made at the beginning of the year. I will comment on how I have improved my work and my knowledge of how to create a short film.
