Evaluation

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

I believe that my Media product challenges that of a real media product very well. I believe that I correctly used the right type of camera shot throughout the production and I feel that by conducting a survey previously assured me that I was also using the right content as well. I also believe that by conducting research before filming my product gave me enough examples of codes and conventions that I could effectively use in my Production. (E.g The Matrix and The Terminator)


• How does your media product represent particular social groups?

I think that my media product only really represents two social groups. Firstly I believe that it represents Students. This is probably because I have aimed my production at students and I believe that the content of the production also represents Students as it's a sort of thing that I student may encounter during there school life. The second social group is teachers, I have represented teachers as being the parent type figure in this production. Teachers are usually stereotyped as being strict, serious and always on your back so in my production I have carried out these stereotypes so the audience can immediately catch on that its a teacher not a student.

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

The only sort of media institution that I can really think of distributing my product would may be an education department. This is solely because the dialogued used in my production portrays why students shouldnt miss lessons otherwise they will get in trouble. Also the production involves comedy which I think will be relevant as If students were actually watching it then they may see it as being interesting. If education departments involved more passive comedy sketches to show students how not to act then may be they would pay more attention.

• Who would be the audience for your media product?

The audience of my media production would be students and teachers mainly but could also be parents. ( See More Above )
I addressed the film immediately within a school which straight away gave the impression of students and teachers. Also by using a classroom this also portrayed the idea of a student to teacher conversation and also blocked off any other human contact which immediately focussed the audience to the two actors shown and nobody else.

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

I have learnt a lot about the technologies that I have used within this project. Firstly I have accustomed myself with I Movie and have found this application very appealing when trying to edit and arrange clips to make a film. I movie also offers you the chance to use groovy extras which I didnt no existed and makes editing films a lot easier. Also I thought generally that filming a production was a lot easier than I looked but it was only when I started carrying out it myself did I realise how precise it has to be in order for it to have a good result.
