Consider how you could do this; which frames could you use?
Question One: In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and
conventions of real media products?
Have a look at this blog and look at how the student approached this question http://crossley-ameliaa2.blogspot.com/
1.
Id encourage you to use screen shots from your trailer/music video/advert and professional texts (use texts you
initially researched as part of your pitch/summer work) and annotate, highlighting the use of or the challenging of the
genres typical codes and conventions, which can include:
- iconography
- narrative
- character types
- themes & representations
- cinematic style
2.
Discuss narrative by making a video of yourself talking, inter-cut with extracts of your trailer and professional
trailers. Discuss how you used or challenged typical narrative set pieces, incorporated expected narrative themes, used
binary oppositions, Propp's theory of character types and how you structured your trailer and why.
3.
For your print work you could create a prezi ( http://prezi.com/ - because unlike a PowerPoint it can be given as a
web address that you can paste into your blog & shows excellent use of technology) that compares your work to that
of professionals. How have you applied your understanding of genre/narrative? What specific aspects of the medium
have you incorporated and why? To what effect?
To answer this question successfully you could film a focus group and conduct a facebook focus group.
2.
You should first discuss any ongoing feedback that you've been doing throughout the process, include
screenshots and discuss how the feedback that you've received and whether youve amended your products.
Consider the questions you will ask of your audience; these could include:
What genre do you think my products are?
What makes you think this?
How have I met your expectations of this genre?
Have I used archetypal characters successfully?
How do you feel when you watch the trailer?
and of course your own
Remember to probe your participants dont settle for one word answers, they wont help you get the detailed feedback
you need by asking your audience questions that will encourage more depth to their answers and not just yes or no
replies). You should outline who you've interviewed and why (relate to your initial target audience research and ensure
that you have a representative sample).
4.
You need to create a conclusion - This should be done creatively: this could be a video podcast/podcast, mood
board of ideas for future projects or a prezi. In your conclusion state what your audience think you did well / didn't so well
and try to be reflective - what your thoughts are on their findings and what you'd do in future productions.
Throughout this question make sure you use appropriate media language.
