Media notes 6^th December

 

Q1) codes and conventions

Suggested ways to present each questions of your A2 coursework evaluation.

Q1) how did you USE, CHALLENGE or DEVELOPE codes and conventions of real media products

 

-          Compare your soap/music video to real examples within your sub/hybrid genre

-          Show a screenshot from a real soap alongside your version with colour coded annotations for similarities (using) differences (develop) and challenge (subversions)

-          Do this several times for your trailer to show the depth of your  research and understanding of the genre

-          Do the same for your poster and front cover

-          Break down of conventions and soap opera (every soap opera has... my sub genre uses and characters are like..)

-          To frame your answer and show the examiner what you have been studying show first all of the basic codes and conventions

The best way to present this question is either in power point, or a short film where you talk the examiner through all your points and give evidence

 

Q2) How effective is the combination of your main and ancillary texts?

-          How convincing are the links between all three of your products same characters and representations , storylines, character names , soap names and channel needs to be consistent

-          Front cover needs to do all this and match the sub genre of the TV mag you are making e.g. needs to closely follow the conventions of TV and Sat week

-          Poster needs to do all this and match the conventions of your channel and institution

 

The best way to present this is using prezi

If you don’t want to use prezi, you could make a mind map in publisher using JPEGS, screen shot and bullet points show the examiner your thought process and the consistencies between all three pieces

 

Q3)  what have you learnt about audience feedback

-          Feedback from drafts and how you acted on it to make more professional products

-          Copy and paste feedback so it’s all the same post and demonstrate how you used it and what you learnt

-          OR print screen and insert feedback into a blog post as JPEGS so the examiner can see the actual feedback. THEN  show what you have learnt

-          PowerPoint for ancillaries could work but it isn’t very creative the best way to present this in a blog or a interview

 

 

Q4) how did you use technologies in the research and planning construction and evaluations stages?

-          The best way to present this is first of all list the technologies that you used (GARAGE BAND ) and which part of the coursework you used the for (garage band , photo shop , key note , imovie , publisher blog , PowerPoint , YouTube , cameras , DSLR , green screen , slide share , twitter)

-          - for software and technologies you used in the mac suite do a series of screen recordings

For all other software technologies , print screens and power points that show your process will work.
