Evaluation 4: How did you use new media technologies in the construction and research, planning and evaluation stages?

Below i have looked at how we have used various technologies for the construction, research, planning and evaluation that i have completed. I have analysed each technology, and written a little about it, in this powerpoint presentation. Due to a size limit on Slideshare, i have unfortunately had to split it into three separate slideshows, but all the information is there.

The following Wordle demonstrates what technologies we have used, and to what extent we have used them; the bigger the text is, the more we have used them.

Evaluation 3: What have you learned from your audience feedback?

Evaluation 2: How effective is the combination of your main product and ancillary texts (Digipak and Magazine advert)?

As part of our coursework, along with our music video, we had to create a digipak and a magazine advert to go with it, as if the product was really to go on sale. We tried to keep certain things in each product similar, or the same, as shown in the presentation below. This continuity heightens the effectiveness of how we present type of band and song that we were trying to portray.

We have not only considered our own opinions of the digipak and magazine advert; to get a real analysis of these products, we asked members of our target audience what they thought in a series of interviews, with mainly positive feedback, and the answers which we were hoping for. The questions which we asked were;
What were your first impressions of the Magazine Advert and Digipak?
From the two products, what type of music would you guess this band makes?
What themes/ideas run throughout the advert, digipak and music video?
Do the two products make you want to watch the music video?
Would you consider the magazine advert to be 'eye catching'?

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

Today, for the first time  i used a website called 'Prezi' to create this powerpoint to answer the first evaluation question. It is a great way to display all information, in an interesting and easy way.

Our Final Products

Below are the three final products; A music video for the song 'Oh Me Oh My' by the 99s, accompanied by a 6 panel Digipak and a Magazine Advert.

Creating Our Survey

Today we created a survey on surveymonkey.com, to gather audience feedback. Although we are unable to post this on Facebook due to school filters, i will text people asking them to do it, and also paste the link below, for anyone who looks at my blog to get as many results as possible. Results will be collected in a few days time.
