Final Product

Evaluation Question 1

'In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?'


Our documentary along with the ancillary texts uses the forms and conventions of media products in a number of ways. In the construction of our products we carefully followed the conventions that we identified at the start of the project.

Question 1

This is an annotated image of the timeline and the script of our radio trailer,  highlighting the codes and conventions of the radio trailer. These were made after listening to radio trailers for 'Storyville' and 'Special Needs Pets', the latter being on Channel 4, which is the same channel that our documentary is going to be shown on.

Evaluation Question 2

'How effective is the combination of your main product and ancillary texts?'


The Audio below describes how we have combined the 3 texts to create an effective and coherent product.

Evaluation Question 3

'What have you learned from your audience feedback?'


After we finished constructing our main and ancillary texts, we presented this to a number of people for audience feedback. All the people present completed a questionnaire after watching the documentary, radio trailer and print advert.

I recorded some of my audience feedback using the social communication service called skype. This allowed me to use video call to interview a member of my target audience.

Evaluation Question 4

'How did you use new media technologies in the construction and research, planning and evaluation stages'


We used a variety of new media technologies in every stage of the creation of our main and ancillary texts, and these have been used in combination to make the production as efficient as possible.

For the research and planning of our documentary, we used the internet to research a topic more and to gain a contextual understanding of our topic, and we also utilised Microsoft Office, specifically word, excel and powerpoint. In Office we created questionnaires for our target audience, created the results in excel and presented the results efficiently in a powerpoint. I have chosen to develop on these points in the prezi below.

This video explains the new technologies that were used in the creation process, with the main programme that was used being Adobe Premiere.

I have decided to present the media technologies that I used in my evaluation by annotating screenshots of the different tools that I used.
