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

Use all of the advice to support you in creating your first evaluation question post. Refer to this excellent example to get a flavour of what is expected.


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 or use Prezi
• 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.
• Explain every decision (discuss the choices you made)
• Use the correct vocabulary (longshot, verisimilitude, diegetic etc)
