Minimal amonuts of research has been undertaken with some similar texts being analysed but little else in the way of planning. The film is not well made with little understanding of the required elements. The evaluatuion demonstrates a good amount of understanding of the medium.

Evaluation
In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?
My media product (film) uses the conventions of real media products in the sense that it included sound, motion and a script (albeit vague). I included various rules (180 degree), various scenarios (Match on Action) and other filming techniques (Shot/Reverse shot). With all of these conventions in place, my film has kept in line with a real media product of the same kind.
How does your media product represent particular social groups?
My media product represents particular social groups by including a slightly homosexual man (Evan), an interviewer for a job (Jonny) and a man in CCF uniform applying for a job (Dom). This shows that my film is not bias to any particular social group and, even with slightly stereotyped homosexuality, it represents social groups communicating.
What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?
The media institution that would distribute my media product would be a teacher wanting to show an example of the task required, i.e. a continuity task involving someone walking through a door and sitting down, becoming involved in conversation. It includes Match on Action, Shot/Reverse shot and kept in accordance with the 180 degree rule and therefore would be a prime example as it kept to the guidelines of the task.
Who would be the audience for your media product?
The audience for my media product would be students who are doing media AS Level and need to create a film complying with the above rules. Yes, it is not the best film ever created, however it sticks to the guidelines and, even with the appaling lack of storyline and filmwork, it can be used as a 'what you need' film.
How did you attract/address your audience?
I attracted/addressed my audience by including what was necessary, this being the above criteria.
What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?
I have learnt from various technologies, mainly iMovie on the Macs. I already knew how to use a video camera (briefly) and knew how to upload it onto a computer (with the right computer). I learnt how to cut and edit film shots, how to include transitions, text and other effects. With all of this new knowledge, I feel that I am confident in my ability to be able to use iMovie and create a standard piece of work by doing so.
I can now edit films and put them together in the best order to create a short film and I feel that I am now able to use iMovie well.
