Evaluating My Evaluation
When i first found out that we had to do a spoken discussion for our evaluation i was a bit apprenhensive as we had never done anything like this before, and i was not sure how well it would go. Writing an essay would be easier as it we could re draft and adds bits in, however a filmed evaluation could only be done in one take so there wasn't a lot of room for error. Nevertheless once we started filming after the first couple of minutes it was absolutely fine, and i wasn't nervous because i felt confident with what i was saying, and i think my group felt the same.
I think that it is a great way to evaluate because we were all bouncing off each other, and disscussing what we thought rather than just writing a rather boring essay. It was also just a far more creative way of doing it, much more appealing to us media students!

Evaluation Q3
3. What have you learned from your audience feedback?
This was the question that i was leading, therefore i felt very confident in speaking and analysing the feedback as i had looked at it very closely. We held an audeince feedback session and decided the best way to colllect the data was in a questionnaire. (There is a post below on my reflections of the audience feedback).
I think that this discussion went really well as although i was leading everyone else was also confident talking on this subject as we had carried out the feedback session together. Additionally the feedback session itself went really well, as we got some really positive responses, along with some constructive criticism, which we agreed with.

Evaluation Q2
How effective is the combination of your main product and ancillary texts?
After we had split up the first question into 3 sections. We then split up the other 3 questions. Although i was not in charge of question 2 as it was led by Danni, i still feel that i contributed enough to the discussion, as i was confident in talking about the colour scheme, key images and personality of Skyethat we promoted.

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!
HERE IS PART OF OUR VIDEO DISCUSSION ABOUT Q1: (the full version is on the group blog)
We referenced many music video's during our discussion such as Charlotte Church- Moodswings, VV Brown - Crying Blood and Jay Z - Empire state of mind (shown below)
We also made references to specific points in our video such ones shown below
