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

Evaluation Question 2: How effective is the combination of your main product and ancillary texts?

Evaluation Question 3: What have you learned from your audience feedback?

For the feedback on my poster and magazine cover, I used a program called Voki which is a digitally enhanced software used to express opinions through the computer.

Evaluation Question 4: How did you use media technologies in the construction and research, planning and evaluation?

Final film trailer

So far we had filmed and edited the first draft of our film trailer. We had uploaded it to Facebook and YouTube in order to receive positive and negative comments concerning our trailer, that including points that were good, and points that we could work on. After this we went back to our trailer and finished the editing for our final film trailer. Here is the film trailer, posted on YouTube, followed by my own analysis of how we filmed and edited our trailer, and why we did it.

Film magazine cover

As well as creating a trailer and a poster for our media coursework, we had to produce a magazine cover showing how our film is being presented, advertised and distributed. I looked back at my AS coursework when we designed a magazine cover, and at my magazine cover analysis in order to achieve a professional magazine cover. Here is my magazine cover, followed by my own analysis of how and why I created it.
