How did you use media technologies in the construction and research, planning, production and post production and evaluation stages?

I created a moodboard using pinterest that includes 30 pins including a variety of different technologies that I used throughout all of the stages of making my products. These stages are research, production, post-production and evaluation. Creating this moodboard was a good reflective task as it made me realise how much I have accomplished this year. It also clearly displays what technologies I now have a good understanding of.

In the research my moodboard showcases how and what I researched for all of my products so that I could learn the conventions of my genre and artist.

During production I used multiple different technologies to get started with all of my ideas that were majority based off of work from all of the research that I had done.

At post-production I pieced together all of the work that I had designed and produced in the production stage. All the technologies that I used at the production stage of my products is noted in my pinterest moodboard.

Lastly, I have noted all of the technologies that I used at the evaluation stage. Such as how I collected feedback and exported my work.

 

What have you learnt from your audience feedback?

In the slide share below we have looked in depth into the feedback we received and the types of feedback that we found more useful.

We also looked at our overall final products as a package and how well they were received by an audience.

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

For this question we discussed why we made our product the way that we have and how they work together as a package. We also talk about why certain feature we included are effective such as what pop genre common convention we used and why we used them.

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

In the slide share below I have analysed my work in detail in comparison to other professional media products similar to my own. This task clearly shows where I have chosen to conform to the common conventions of the pop genre and where I have thought it to be more appropriate to break common conventions.
