Evaluation –How to tick all

the boxes!

EVALUATION ACTIVITY 1In what ways does your media product use,

develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products? (i.e. of trailers/poster/magazines)

You should go through the final version of the project and select nine distinct frames which you screengrab and drop into a photoshop. You will be using these to write about how typical or not of teaser trailers your particular design is, so choose them carefully.

EVALUATION ACTIVITY 1In what ways does your media product use,

develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products? (i.e. of trailers/poster/magazines)

Once you have the nine frames neatly in Photoshop, screengrab the whole thing and post to your blog, then write an analysis of how you have used such conventions.

EVALUATION ACTIVITY 1

• The aspects you should consider across your nine frames are:

• The title of the film

• Setting/location

• Costumes and props

• Camerawork and editing

• Title font and style

• Story and how the trailer sets it up

• Genre and how the trailer suggests it

• How characters are introduced

• Special effects

• Remember to discuss narrative/genre/representation/media language/audience in your evaluation

EVALUATION ACTIVITY 3What have you learned from your audience

feedback?

• You need to show your video to the group and record the audience feedback.

• You also need to put it on a social networking site and encourage others to comment on it

• In what ways does my trailer remind you of other trailers?

• What do you think are the strengths of my trailer?

• What do you think are the weaknesses?

EVALUATION ACTIVITY 4How did you use new media technologies in the

construction and research, planning and evaluation stages?

In pairs, take a picture of each other holding the kit you have used. This might just be the camera and tripod, and your PC but there may be other things you want in the shot.

Drop the image onto your blog and annotate it, adding all the programs and other technology you have used as screengrabsand what you learnt about it/from using it. Your written text need only be minimal. You could include reference to all the online and computer programs you have used such as YouTube, blogger, Adobe Elements/Photoshop, etc.
