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

Here is a video of our evaluation as a group discussion talking about what we feel we have learnt as a group in our final media product in comparison to our preliminary task. 

My role when talking about the evaluation and answering the question was about music and how it was different to our preliminary task. I spoke about how we decided to use music in our film opening in comparison to our preliminary task and how we researched the importance and impact which music has on audiences and how effective choosing a appropriate type of music was to be best suited for our genre being 'Romance'.

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

This is a video answering the question ' What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product'?  We decided to use a directors cut as a form of evaluation as we were able to talk over our film opening and say exactly what when it happens on our media product.
Everyone in our group including me had an input in what we wanted to each say about how we feel what technologies we have personally learnt when making our film opening, therefore i decided to talk about the typography at the beginning of our film opening and spoke about what text we used and what font and how we changed the motion of the text and how the text differentiated towards the end.

Evaluation- Who would be the audience of your media product/ How did you attract/address your audience?

Who would be the audience for your media product?

                                                              

I think that our main audience for our film opening would be teenagers/ young adults in the age bracket of 15- 24 year olds. I think that this is the most appropriate audience for our media product to be aimed at especially due to the themes which are apparent such as the relationship between Phoebe and Dan which are present.

Generally speaking, the age bracket 15-24 Romantic movies are watched by teenagers, young adults in this bracket. Also looking back on secondary research in planning and ideas of our film opening we thought carefully about who the audience might be for our media product of a film opening and then decided after much research on 15-24 year olds as data from research show that people in that age bracket were the most amount of people which viewed ‘romantic movies’ rather than older people and who also might not have been able to relate to the film opening. Younger people, who were our target audience would be able to relate in some way due to the storyline being a relationship between a young boy who is at university and a young stereotypical teenage girl.

Our audience would not be of a global range, due to the distribution of our film opening however more of a localised range due to the plot line being ‘a relationship’ yes it is a very global market however we wanted to aim our film opening at as many people as possible especially our target audience but in more of a ‘niche market sense’ rather globally, considering that our film opening is independent.


 How did you attract/address your audience?

I think the best way to attract our audience of teenagers in the age bracket of 15-24 year olds would be to advertise our media product online, such as on Facebook, Twitter and on  Youtube. I think this is the best way in order to attract the target audience because due to research into how teenagers find out about movies is through the internet and the vast majority of teenagers are the primary consumers of social media and the internet in the modern age.

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

Evaluation- How does your media product represent social groups?

Evaluation- How does your media product represent social groups?

Throughout our film opening social groups are very much evident. For example, a social group is present from the begin of the opening with a stereotypical young teenager representative of the clothing which she is wearing which was an oversized jumper with grey jeans. The girl judging by her clothing is seen to fall into the teenage social group. In comparison with the stereotypical young boy when present in his room is wearing a casual black t-tshirt  with jeans this is representative of this social group and how he is almost adolescent.

 Ideally we wanted to create this image and social group judging by the clothes because judging also by our target audience which is the age bracket of 15-24 year olds we thought the correct clothing would be most appropriate to further represent the social group as overall the main target audience of our film opening is targeted at the age bracket of 15- 24 year olds.

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