Question 4: How did you use new media technologies in the construction and research, planning and evaluation stages?

Our Edit Suit & Equipment

Reflections

As I was designated the research and planning for this question, I lead it and probably make the most points, however the whole group contributed in this clip to the discussion about the use of new media technologies. We cover all the platforms we used (internet, Premier Pro, Photoshop etc.) and talk about them quite thoroughly, so I would say we've answered this question well.

Question 3: What have you learned from your audience feedback?



Reflections

We highlight that our audience feedback was very positive, and I am happy that I pointed out the drawbacks of our products (ie. the confusion of the concept and narrative, there should have been more narrative at the end, it was slightly long.)

Question 2: How effective is the combination of your main product and ancillary texts?



Reflections

Here we discuss (again, quite equally) how we think our texts are actually linked quite well. The main points we highlight are:

• The fact that we wear the same outfits in our Myspace Banner and on the Alum Cover
• The graffitied CD background reflects our different personalities, something we use as a theme in the Music Video
• The colour scheme on the Myspace of pink, yellow, green and blue comes from a still in the Music Video (which is used on the album cover).

Question 1: In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?

Reflections

I thought this question went well on the whole, and my contribution was fairly equal to the other members of my group. I thought me and Amelia's conversation about the conventions of a music video, and theorists Goodwin and Vernallis, worked particularly well.
I also make it clear (in Part 2 of 1) that I thought we should have made the idea of the 7 Deadly Sins clearer to the audience, which is something I'll still think is a drawback of our video. I'm glad this comes across in the evaluation.

Evaluation: Cue-Cards

Amelia made cue cards to help us with the evaluation, and they were very helpful!
