Evaluation Question Planning

Once I have finished both my production and my ancillary text(s), I will need to focus on answering the evaluation questions that review my production. I did this last year and now there are fewer questions, it will mean that I can go into more detail when answering them and therefore make them even better quality and this may allow me to access a higher grade. The questions have to be answered through using a range of different media techniques and the fact there is only 4 questions means that it will be easier for me to use a wider range of techniques. Below are the questions and my plans for how I will be answering them:

1. In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?
For this question I plan to take another music video with a relatively similar type of song (slow with similar meaning) and screen it next to my video. I will then narrate over the top of both the videos and talk about what things I have done that are similar to the parallel video and what things I have done that I have seen in other videos. I am likely to use the video for Night Changes by One Direction as the music is a similar genre and tempo whilst the filming aspect is also very similar. I may also use the video for Another You, Another Way by Against the Current as this includes the memory aspect. Either that or I could use the video for 4am by Alex G.

2. How effective is the combination of your main product and your ancillary texts?
For this question I have thought about doing a narrative idea again with my ancillary texts being placed along side some clips from my production. I also may use a layout of the ancillary texts with arrows with descriptions of how they link to the production. This will be presented in a spider diagram style but will have the aspect of me narrating over the top of it so that I can incorporate more elements of using media to evaluate my final production.

3. What have you learned from your audience feedback?
For this question I will collect a panel of people together and get them to watch my production. I will try to get around 5-8 people so that I get a variety of opinions but I will ensure they are all around the age of 18 as this age seems to be one of the ages that spend a large part of time watching TV and music videos. I will then review the feedback and present it in a sort of mind map document with a screenshot of my production at the heart of it.

4. How did you use new media technologies in the construction, research, planning and evaluation stages?
For the final question I will look to use Power-Point or Prezi and split the slides into the 4 headings of construction, research, planning and evaluation. I will then give information as to which instruments I used for each section and how they were useful in the production of my music video. I am familiar with Power-Point but I think Prezi looks as though it will gain me more marks as it is slightly more complex and allows for interactive displays. Therefore I will look to use Prezi but if I am unable to get what I desire from it I will use Power-Point instead.
