Evaluation Questions

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

-       Discuss how your music video follows conventions. You could give examples from real media texts and discuss how these then influenced yours.

-       Discuss how you developed conventions. Were the conventions you used then developed further or adapted?   

-       Discuss how you challenged typical conventions of music videos within your chosen genre. Did you attempt to include other elements to make your product stand out from the rest?

-       Consider music video theory to support your judgements about your work.

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

-       Consider the brand identity of your products.

-       Deconstruct your ancillary texts and discuss how you used conventions.

What have you learned from your audience feedback?

-       Gather audience feedback from various sources – eg. social networking, focus groups.

-       Discuss the feedback you have received – what worked well? Were there any areas which you need to focus on in the future?
