I am having to redo evaluation question 1 because speakingimage.com wasn't connecting to blogger correctly and it therefore lost the work, however I will still meet my deadline. I also want to add some extra information to my Wix.com website so when I have finished evaluation question 1 i will go back to that.

Tonight I am going to finish my video for question 7 'Looking Back At Your Preliminary Task What Do You Feel You Have Learnt In The Progression From It To The Full Product?'. I have been working on it over the past few days and need to now add the soundtrack, double check all the information and then edit where necessary. After that I will need to upload it to YouTube and insert it into my blog.

Mrs D

This is a good start for your evaluation. I would like to see a detailed plan of all 7 questions soon to check your understadning and range of ICT. The question one response is a good start, however, don't just technique spot - you need some analysis - use rma research to help you.

Evaluation Question 2 - How Does Your Media Product Represent Particular Social Groups?

Evaluation Question 2 - DRAFT

The image on the left is my picture and the image on the right is a profesional picture from a double page spread for a country music magazine.

The profesional image is taken straight on and the girl is positioned at an angle, looking over her shoulder. In my image 'Summer' is also looking over her shoulder and is turned at an angle however it isn't quite as prominant as the professional photograph.

The background of the profesional image is dark and has objects (leaves) as well. This creates a natural but darker feel. This is contrasted by the bright outfit the girl has been dressed in. In my photograph the background is light and plain, except for the shadow, and her outfit contrasts against the background by being darker. The outfits themselves are very different in style. Both images are midshots and and have been taken at moderatly close range.

Evaluation Question 1 - In What Ways Does Your Media Product Use, Develop Or Challenge Forms And Conventions Of Real Media Products?

Evaluation Question 1

 

 

The real media artifact on the left has a large, bold heading that spans across the entire page behind the main image. The main image is almost a full body shot and is in the centre of the page. The magzine has quite a few images on the cover which fill what would otherwise be dead space. The banner across the top adds colour to the magazine and helps the audience to see other main stories. The cover of this magazine is actually quite busy with a lot of images and other stories featured. The barcode on this cover is actually quite large for a magazine the price is also featured in this area.

 

My cover on the right also has a large bold heading but it doesn't span across the page like in the real media artifact. The main image is again almost a full body shot and covers the whole page. My cover is quite simple and natural witch is something that is associated with the stereotypical 'Country'. My barcode is small and out of the way but like the real media artifact I have put the price by the barcode.  

The real media artifact on the left has a double page contents page; the main story image is the largest and takes up over half of the left hand side of the left hand page. The 'other stories' take up whats left of the right hand side on both pages, the font size of these stories is the smallest featured on the pages. The page numbers are really big and help to clearly show which are the main stories; it doesn't really have a heading as such but smaller titles.

 

My contents page on the right is a single page contents page; the main story image is the largest and covers a large section of the top left corner. The 'other stories' are in seperate boxes and have the smallest font on the page. My page numbers are quite small however my main story page number is larger than the rest. My heading is large and obvious and helps to clearly depict what the page is for, next to the heading is the date and the edition number.

 

 

 

 

The real media artifact's double page spread heading spans across both columns, has a large font size and is bold. The image is mostly on the right page but it carry's on across both pages.The story has 2 columns. One has writing and the other has pictures. It doesn't use any pull quotes although it does have a drop caps.

 

My double page spread's heading has a very large font, this makes it obvious to the audience that it is the heading, it also spans across all three columns of my story. My image takes up all of the left hand page and is overlapped slightly by a quote. My story has 3 columns, 2 pull quotes and a drop caps.
