Evaluation Planning

What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing the product?


For this question I plan to use prezi as I feel that will be a good and appropriate format for breaking down the technology used and the importance of it. In this I am going to look mainly at the mac and also the camera.



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



For this question I am going to answer simply on a voice note audio recording as I do not want to distract too far from the question. I am going to re-evaluate my preliminary task, look at my final piece closely and see in what ways I  think there is a difference.


How did you attract/address your audience?




For this section I am going to use a website called goanimate.com, this website allows you to create short carton video clips. I am going to try and cover;


Who the target audiences are,
How we identified them,
What we did to attract them
What ways could be used to gain their interest




Conventions

For answering this question I am going to use 9 Key Frames analysis. I chose this format because it enables me to choose 9 key moments within my piece, and analyse them in detail. By doing this I can highlight where I have conformed to or challenged conventions.

E.g.


Instutions




For this I will present it using a Infograohic. This is usefull because it can utilize all different types of displaying information into one sourcfe. It can include pictures, graphs, text etc. I will include onformation on why I chose those this institution, what films have they done similar to this, what other types have they done and how successful have they been in the past.






Social Groups Representation

There was not much representation of different social groups within my peice, but I am going to look at the few represented, and other ones relevant to the peice. I am going to describe the social groups, explain why i used them, how i used them and why i used them in this way. I am going to present this part of the evaluation using a website called PowToon. I am also going to include extra research on the social groups which I am including in the evaluation. Most of the research will be from; http://www.uktribes.com. I will alson include photographs of social groups and how they are geneally presented within the media, and screen shots to show how i have represented them.

Costume List


Font

We considered a number of fonts to use to build the text for our opening sequence, selected from a website called DaFont.com. We looked for fonts that would help build on our genre of horror, and partially conformed to the conventions due to this.


In some ways conventions were followed because we used red thick sticky type font which is often associated with horror. However we also challenged conventions as these are not often used as main text, particuarly titling.


This font was a strong contender, as although it strongly suggests the genre of horror, it is not too difficult to read, as many are. It is quite simplistic and would sit nicely into most shots.

This was another font we looked at and strongly considered. It caught our attention initially because it was quite similar to the text used for "Dexter", one of our main inspirations.
