Evaluation Question 2

EVALUATION 2. How Effective is the Combination of Your Main Product and Ancillary Texts?

In this question you need to evaluate the sense of 'branding' you've created across your products. Once again you need to use a range of technologies to present your work.

Some tips

Pick out the elements you've chosen to carry across your work and explain why you feel these best represent your 'artist'.

Think about those elements which you've not included, briefly explain why you chose not to include them. By happy accident Nicky Chapman has already begun this process, you may wish to copy her.

Evaluation Question 1

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

What is the question asking?

This question requires you to demonstrate how your research and planning has influenced your work. You'll need to review your research and planning posts and identify which elements from the music videos and artists you've researched have been incorporated into your final pieces.

You need to be honest, does your product 'work'?

When responding DON'T:

write an essay
simply list points
produce a PowerPoint
waffle!
claim to have been 'original' (you haven't been, it's not possible!)
ONLY discuss your video

When responding DO:

Write about all THREE products
Be creative (how can you respond in an entertaining yet informative way?)
Use technology (e.g. photoshop, tubechop, prezi, scribd, iMovie, soundcloud, flickr etc)
Be analytical (pick out specific examples and remember your A2 theorists as well as ones from AS. Barthes, Todorov, Mulvey, Gilmore, Goodwin, Stewart etc)
Explain every decisions (discuss the choices you made)
Use the correct vocabulary (longshot, verisimilitude, diegetic etc)

Digipak Cover and Back

My design is to have this template on the front and back of the Digipak, with the band in each of the squares somehow interacting with eachother whether it be using arms, eye contact or objects to create a feeling of band unity and something original. On the rear, the track names in the post above will be inserted into the template and each box.
