Evaluation Brief

I have recently been introduced into the brief for my evaluation of my media work. Each question must be answered in a different media i.e. podcast, PowerPoint, directors commentary. Additionally, each answer should be around 2-3 minutes long. Listed below are the questions I must answer...

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

2) How does your media represent particular social groups?

3) What kind of media institution might distribute your product and why?

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

5) How would you attract/address your audience?

6) What have you learned about technologies from the process of constructing this product?

7) Looking back on your preliminary task, what do you feel that you have learned in the progression from it till the full product?

 I will now carefully decide what type of media is best suited to answering each question.

The Main Task

The Brief

Create an opening scene of a fiction film. It must be 2 minutes long and include titles and soundtrack.

An opening scene can determine the genre of film and can hint at significant events or aspects of the film.

The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo has a very dark opening sequence with hints of what the film may include. For example, the black ink running could symbolise the tattoo and the technology such as the keyboard and wires suggest there are elements of computers in the film. The lighting and colours suggest action genre.



Napoleon dynamite is an example of a very different opening scene. The lighting is bright and the colours used are also. The use of food and other everyday objects suggests a comedy genre.
