Evaluation

You should be finishing your construction now and getting ready to start putting together your evaluation, if you haven't already done so.

If you have taken our advice, you will have collated lots of material for your evaluation during the production process, so you should just need to assemble this together.

Your evaluation MUST answer the following questions in detail and be presented in an original and creative way - not just typed up in sentences:

1. In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products? (i.e. of music magazines)

2. How does your media product represent particular social groups ?

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

4. Who would be the audience for your media product?

5. How did you attract/address your audience?

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

7. Looking back at your preliminary task (the school magazine), what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to full product?

Check out this section of Pete Fraser's blog for some inspiration as to how you may present your evaluation:

Or open up this Powerpoint presentation which offers helpful suggestions as to how you might approach each question in a user-friendly format.

Good luck - and don't forget the final deadline is midnight on Friday 8th February!
