1st lesson on Evaluations

Evaluation Lesson by StaffCowan

Help for the evaluation homework due on Thursday 13/03/2014

Hi Melina, sure I can help.

So the questions are...

1. In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products? This is asking you how your product fits in with the genre type and also filmic conventions i.e. how is your opening sequence similar to existing vampire/horror/thriller films out there? Have some examples of films to make comparisons to. Or is it different to the norm and how? Consider the following technical aspects: camera work (shot types, etc), mise en scene, editing, sound. You might want to break this question up into 3 parts and answer one by one... How your product a) Used b) Developed c) Challenged.
2. How does your media product represent particular social groups? This question is all about representation within your media product, think of representation of individuals, groups, objects and issues in your Media product. Do your representations fit in with existing representations (any examples)? Do your representations challenge existing representations/stereotypes shown in the Media? You might want to split your reps up into categories...

First of all, write the questions up in an essay style and then once you have done that, consider how to present using innovative technology to answer the question (be creative about it) you might answer the question using 2 to 3 different new technologies per question.

Have a look at the weebly site again for how successful candidates have answered the evaluation questions, candidate D got the highest (but their evaluation did have issues) they used technology well but the evaluation wasn't that coherent. You also want to go into the BSFG blogs for last year's candidates to see how they answered the questions...

Hope that helps!

Miss Cowan.
