Evaluation Questions

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

For this question, we used Prezi. This was so that we could should step by step how we answered/approached this question.

2. How does your media product represent particular social groups?

For answering our second question, we decided to use the format of Prezi; which is a presentation software. This way, by using this, you can clearly go through what we are explaining in terms of how our media product represents different but specific social groups (in terms of age, social class, disability etc...).

3. What kind of media institution would distribute your media product and why?

For this question, we decided to use Microsoft PowerPoint in which we would go through a step-by-step process of how our media product, which was our local news bulletin, would be distributed by specific institutions. After this was done, we used SildeShare to upload it onto. 

4. Who would be the audience for your media product?

To answer this question, we used a spider diagram format. This was because it would enable us and others to see comparisons of the variety of audiences that were/are trying to target and how news item may relate to these audiences.

5. How did you attract/address your audience?

For answering this question, we decided to record it. To do this we used Audacity, in which after the recording, we edited it and uploaded it onto SoundCloud as our finished item. Our question explored the different codes and conventions that we used in order to attract and also address our audience. 

6. What have you learnt about the technologies for the process of constructing this product?

For this question, we decided that we would use Camtasia 2 to produce the question. This was because we felt that it would be better for us to explain point-by-point what we learnt about using different technologies. Camtasia 2 allowed us to show you examples of what technologies we used as it filmed the screen and showed the PowerPoint that we were explaining; resulting in this piece of Software being the most useful for this type of particular question. After using Camtasia, we turned into a MP4 file, which we then uploaded to YouTube; then embedding the YouTube video of us answering the question into our Evaluation Sector of the Blog (seen below). 

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

For this question, we used iMovie, in which we exported it and uploaded it unto YouTube, before embedding it unto our blogs. Using iMovie enabled us to explain in more depth what we learned in the progression towards fulfilling the full product; our finished local news bulletin.
