Evaluation: Question Four - How Did You Use Media Technologies In The Construction And Research, Planning and Evaluation Stages?

Other List of Technologies I Used:

Twitter

I used Twitter to gather audience feedback from my followers. I have around 900 followers so getting my trailer and ancillary tasks on there meant that they were being seen worldwide. Also most Twitter users and my followers are around the age of the demographic that we are targeting which meant we were getting feedback from the audience who would initially go and see our film. 

Slideshare

I used Slideshare early on in this A2 Project to share my powerpoints that I had created. It is easy to use as you just upload your PowerPoints to it and then you can just get an embed code. This was not a new technology for me as I used it often in my As year.

Facebook

I used Facebook quite a lot for my Audience Feedback. I used facebook as our demographic is students around 20, which is all my friends on Facebook are, therefore to get feedback on Facebook was directly targeting my audience. It is also very easy to share things which made it easier to get the feedback in the first place.

iPhone Messaging

I used iPhone messaging a lot also for my audience feedback. It is easy to use as it is just on my phone and I can send it to whoever I want, therefore sending it to our target audience as I am able to choose my friends who are the right demographic age. I got a lot of my feedback from messaging as it is the most simple to use, and I am guaranteed a reply, whereas with Facebook and Twitter I am not always going to get many replies.

Here is an example of me using the different technologies for the project, and giving information on how to use them. To make this video I used iShowU, SnagIt and Movie Maker.

Evaluation: Question Three - What have you learned from your audience feedback?

Here is a video of audience interviews.
The questions were:
What is your initial reaction?
Do you think the trailer suits the genre?
What are your thoughts for Mise-En-Scene, Sound, Cinematography and Editing?
What is your favourite part?
Is there any other comments that you have?

Here is a gif that I made with the 5Secs app on my iphone of an example of my Target Audience:

I have chosen this target audience because he is a 18-20 year old male, who is silly and yet able to understand the narrative of a horror. I think males will stereo-typically go and see horror films more because they are represented and stereotyped as the 'stronger' sex and could go and see horror films to add to their masculinity. 

Evaluation: Question Two - How effective is the combination of your main product and ancillary tasks?

Glogster about Synergy in my ancillary tasks and trailer.

This is an extra video where I asked some of my audience what they thought about the synergy and effectiveness of all of my products together in the marketing campaign.

Evaluation: Question One - In what ways does your media products use, develop and challenge forms and conventions of real media products?
