Task Evaluation

I have learnt what the evaluation questions are for my main task and how to lay them out in my blog properly. The evaluation questions are as follows:

• In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms or conventions of real media products?
• How does your media product represent particular social groups?
• What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?
• Who would be the audience for your media product?
• How did you attract/address your audience?
• What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?
• Looking back on your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the full product?

I will answer these questions in detail in my coming blogs and evaluate how well I think I did overall with my finalised main task.

Title ideas continued

In today's lesson we came up with some more title ideas that we could use for our opening sequence. We also ended up changing the font of our titles because we felt that it didn't suit the genre of our opening scene enough. We also came to a final conclusion for the name of our opening scene, which was Downfall. We also decided to book the next double lesson as time to start filming our opening scene.  Because we changed certain aspects of our story line late on, we still needed to finish the end part of the scene, which we ended up finalising at the end of the lesson. We also finalised our title ideas and started thinking about animation effects and how we could make the titles appear and disappear in way that reflects the genre that we went for in our opening scene. 

Title ideas

Opening sequence- title ideas

In today's lesson my group brainstormed ideas for the title lines that we could use in out opening scene. By the end of the lesson we managed to have several ideas for what we could put down for the title, for example Producer, director, camera man, editing and script were just some of the roles we used in the titles. We had not moved onto how we would apply them to the opening scene and make it work, but we managed to apply a different font and sort out the correct size that would make the title stand out and suit the genre of our opening scene.

We also had time to briefly start thinking of a name for our opening sequence, there were quite a lot of ideas that we narrowed down to three, which we will finalise next lesson. We also have drawn up a timetable for ourselves of when we have time to start filming which will hopefully help us get organised and start filming soon.
