Evalutation


• In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?
The film i have created for my media projecti believe has used the codes and conventions that were asked for, it included the 180 degree rule and it also includes match on action, the 180 degree rule is a big factor in the codes and conventions and i have used the 180 degree rule very well i believe during the conversation half way through my film as i have made sure i stayed on one side of the people when filming.
The match on action shot is for when the person is about to be going through the door the shot cuts in to a close up shot on the door handle with him opening it.
Through this i believe i have used the codes and conventions to my advantage.


• How does your media product represent particular social groups?
My media product was aimed at a age group of around the late teens as i believe that anyone younger would not like the video and not take any interest in it, i believe that i have represented the particular social group well as it was aimed for the group and only this group, because all other groups it would not fit into, and i believe that if a late teen was to watch this, they would atleast take a look at it and think about it.


• What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?
The kind of media institution that might want to distribute the media product is through a company which has a strong base of younger workers, the other institution that may distribute it is a University or a Sixth form of a school, this could be for departments that have already got students or employess working in the media sector of the company or school and would find it interesting to see the film and what camera shots and codes and conventions (such as the 180 degree rule) as a good example.

• Who would be the audience for your media product?
The audience that i aim my media product at is the older teenager as i believe it is the only real age group that would take any interest in it, as younger people would not find it interesting and the older age group would not be sure what to think about it- because of what i think of this i thought it would be best to aim it at the older teenager.

• How did you attract/address your audience?
I attracted and tried to address the audience that i aimed by film at through creating a simple film that many people would find it easy to watch, with the sound track, camera shots, the editing and the codes and conventions i have attempted to make it more interesting and that it would address the audience.

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

Through filming and editing the film i have created i have learnt many skills from how to use a video camera to my better ability to how to edit the film in iMovie on an iMac, even though i may not use this program again, i believe it is a very good skill to have of knowing the program so if it turns up that sometime in the future i do need it i will know how to use it.
It is not only this, through this section of the sylabus and learning how to use the iMac's more, i have learnt about the different camera shots and how to link them together, such as establishing shots and match on action.

Own Evaluation

For my film project we were set the task of someone walking through a door, across a class room , sitting down and having a conversation.
I believe that with what i have done i have fullfilled all of the criteria that was asked of myself with the camera shots including panning shots, shot reverse shot and zoom.
Throughout the film and the conversation i have made sure i strictly abided by the 180 degree rule that i explained earlier in this Blog.
Although i believe there is one section of the film that i could enhance and 'make better' (where after he has walked through the class room, he pulls a chair over and the next clip he is sitting down on it) i believe even though i have missed this part out it has accomplished all that was asked and is to a good standard, although, if i did this project again i would change that to a have a clip where he sits down.
For the editing of the film i used iMovie on the iMacs and was pleasntly pleased with how it worked and the ease of using it, i would be very happy to use it again.
