Evaluation Q1

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

We split up the work for Question 1 into the 3 sections Music Video, Album Cover and Website (Myspace page) - so each of the 3 of us took the lead in one of these sections. This was a good idea as it gave all of us a manigable amount of work to do, and it also helped us to have an equal say because we took it in turns to take the lead.


I was given the  task of Music video which meant going over, and revising the theories of Goodwin and Vernallis and seeing how they applied to our video. We had to think about whether we used, developed or challenged the conventions so we filled in a table which broke the theories down into headings which was very helpful. All in all i think Qustion 1 worked really well, as we all took the lead for one section yet we had discussed it previously as a group so therfore we all had a lot, and an equal amount to say. We found this dominated most of our time and we spoke for quite a while as it was a very important question, so we have chosen a 10 minute clip.

Also we beginning by saying "hi we're group 4" this is a mistake we are group 3!
