Plan for Evaluation Task

For our evaluation of our thriller opening, we decided to do a 'making of' featurette; we feel this would be more interesting and visually dynamic than a director's commentary, however, we may incorporate aspects of a commentary into our featurette in order to explain what we were trying to achieve at a certain point.
In our featurette we plan to include stills and videos of the filming process as well as including frames from the finished product and interviews with each individual member of the group, allowing us to answer the questions set for the evaluation. In order to make this happen, we will carry an additional camera with us to capture the process of production.

The questions for our evaluation are as follows...Underneath is a brief summary of how we plan to answer that specific question:

1. In what ways does your Media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real Media products?
- Show clips or stills of conventional and unconventional features within our finished product, and compare with other thriller's in the market, determining whether or not it challenges or conforms to real Media products.

2. How does your Media product represent particular social groups?
- We will relate back to our plot, describing how it represents the Government as untrustworthy and corrupt; a notion held strongly in the mind of the general public - We will most likely use a director's commentary for this part of our evaluation.

3. What kind of Media institution might distribute your Media product, and why?
- In the near future one of us will research Media Institutions, to find out which is specialised in producing thriller films, because therefore they would be able to effectively advertise and distribute our thriller.

4. Who would be the audience for your media product?
- We made our thriller based on what our target audience said they wanted in a thriller, and we could discuss how we achieved this, by distributing a questionnaire to the people who answered our original questionnaire. We could also include a clip of our audience reviewing our opening directly after viewing.

5. How did you attract/address your audience?
- We will address this question alongside question 4.

6. What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?
- We will definitely film some of the GarageBand process - describing how we came to chose the certain samples we used and how they will affect the atmosphere of our thriller opening. Our blog is a good documentation of the technologies we've used and it in itself is also a new technology we have become familiar with during this process.

7. Looking back at your Preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the full product?
- Editing skills have been improved, and we will show clips of match-on-action transitions to show the improvement from our pre-preliminary, graduating up to our thriller opening.
