Evaluations..

So Mac 1 have bravely gone first and shown us how NOT to do your evaluation... Apologies for the pic/sound quality - this is my first effort at recording/editing/uploading to YouTube on the iPad (no batteries in Flip):

From this vid, we can see the following:

Don't use your phone for answers (Heather)

Do be prepared with DETAILED responses

Refer to your influences

Don't start having an argument half way through (Yasemin and Millie)

Don't be a smart arse (Mollie)

Speak loud and clear

Do support each other rather than giggle..

Do watch and learn from the 7 vids I posted earlier on this blog - they may not be perfect answers but those two girls (not the lad in the tie) do present an exceptional evaluation. Don't be put off by their use of Final Cut in their eval - it's really not necessary..

All you have to do is answer the 7 questions in a sensible, mature yet informal manner.

Mac 2 are recording theirs on Tue 3&4, Mac 1 are going again on Tue at 3:20 - am still waiting for other groups to tell me when they're doing theirs!!

Don't forget, blogs are to be closed by Friday 6th May!

7 Evaluation Questions

Here're the questions you need to be prepared to answer:

1. In what ways does your film opening use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?

2. How does your film opening represent particular social groups?

3. What kind of media institution might distribute your film opening and why?

4. Who would be the audience for your film opening?

5. How did you attract/address your audience?

6. What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this film opening?

7. Looking back at your prelim task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the final film opening?

EASY!!!!! Keep it informal, light yet informative.

EVALUATIONS!!

Eek - where's the time gone??

Right, you've got to plan and we've got to film your Evaluations of your final films..

Here're a couple of examples - not saying they have to be ANYthing like these, but they're good to get an idea how to prepare for them:

Considering your blogs MUST be closed on Friday 6th May, we have to film them this weekish in order to give you time to edit them, put fancy credit/questions on...

SO, I need a date and time from your group when we can film - they'll prob take about 10/15mins, depending on the depth of your answers. May I suggest that you each take a question and plan an answer - share the ones left at the end. I'll put up the 7 set evaluation questions in a minute but you can obviously get them from the above vids.

Look forward to hearing from you all..
