Evaluation Task

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

The 'Busted' video was mean't to replicate the official video for the song. Meaning that we tried to use the same shots, angles, timings and costume as the actual video had. We challenged the normal conventions of the video because some of the footage was lost. Meaning we had to re-shoot some parts. However In real media products this wouldn't of happened. 

1. How effective is the combination of your main product and ancillary texts?

1. What have you learned from your audience feedback?

1. How did you use media technologies in the construction and research, planning and evaluation stages?

We used technologies such as computers (youtube) to watch the original Busted video and then we could draw up the story board. In the construction of our video we used cameras, tri-pods

The areas you need to cover for the Busted video are:

1) Pre production (story boarding, prop lists etc). 

story boarding mean't watching the original Busted video and listing down each shot, angle, duration and framing. This allowed us to then copy it as closely as possible. When story boarding the shot number is also important. We firstly listed the shot number, so we could refer back to it when the video was being edited/shot. Then we drew a small sketch of what was happening in the shot. This helped when we were filming because we knew exactly what shot was next e.t.c. The props list was created so that when it came to filming the video we had the correct props and they matched the props in the video. 

2) Production (filming etc)

The production took place in school. Some of the shots were exterior and some interior (classroom scene).

3) Post production (editing footage etc)

On each post you need to write an account of what you did at every stage and list skills acquired and skills you need to develop. 200 words minimum per post.

Within these you need to consider in what ways your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products? and how effective is your video?
