Evaluations - questions 1 and 2
Evaluation Questions
Make either a powerpoint presentation or a prezi to answer the questions
1) In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?Return to your research –look at least two of the magazines you used when looking at forms and conventions.
a) Download images from these to your blog / prezi
You will be using these images to write about how typical or not your particular design is, so choose them carefully.
b) Download your finished product and compare with the ‘real’ media text.
Then write an analysis of how you have used conventions.
The aspects you might consider are:
The title and how it is displayed
Main image on front page
Setting/location used in DPS
Costumes and props
Camerawork and manipulation of images
Title/caption font and style on contents page
Genre and how it is suggested
How characters / performers are portrayed
Special effects in the design
2) How does your media product represent particular social groups?
Pick a key character / performer from your product. Select a reasonable sized image of them. Think of one or more celebrity from other magazines with some similarity to them (but maybe some differences too!), find an image on the web of that character and download it as well. Drop the two into photoshop, as a split screen. Export this splitscreen image as a jpeg then drop onto your powerpoint /prezi and write about the similarities and differences in terms of appearance, costume, function in the magazine and appeal to audience.
