Making Our Evaluation

Charley and I sat down and split the questions in half and went our separate ways and created our powerpoint. I work on a PC which has a very different powerpoint compared to a mac. I was doing the questions 2,3 and 4, they are 'How does your media product represent particular social groups', 'Who would be the audience for your media product' and 'How did you attract/address your audience'. These questions took a lot of thinking to come up with an idea because we have to make it interesting, not put too much information on the slides but also get the message across to the audience from the slides.
I have done my first draft of my slides but i need to improve a lot of things because i haven't used many media technologies in it.

Audience Feedback

Charley and I played our film to our classmates, friends and family to get feedback on what worked and what we needed to change. They all said they liked the way we shot it choosing lots of different shot sizes and types to make our film more interesting. They also said they liked the characters we chose because they were amusing to watch, we chose purposely for the characters to seem stupid and not know what they were doing to make our film funny and amusing to the audience. Although we didn't use much mise-en-scence the characters costumes were supposed to look the same as though one was copying the other, this may have not come across to the audience and maybe in the future something we need to work on.

The things some people said we need to improve on was there was one shot that was from inside the house that some people thought that there was some one inside the house when there wasn't. Also some of the shots were a bit shaking because we used a handle held camera, but we wanted it to be like that to show some authenticity to it.
On the whole our film got a lot of good feedback and there are things that did go wrong and we have taken into account and will possibly change if we think nescessary.
