Evaluation - Media Technologies

Finlay for the last part of my coursework I have created a Wix website to show the media technologies which I have used in the making of my media product.


Please click the link below to see a large version of my website.

My Wix

Evaluation - Audience Feedback

I have made a Powerpoint which explores the feedback I have received. I then uploaded it using Issuu. Please expand to get a better view.

Here is an audience feedback video I have created, showing direct feedback from peers.

Evaluation - In what ways does my media product use, develop or challange forms and conventions of real media products?

I have created a prezi with 9 screen shots to show and compare my media product against real examples.

Evaluation - How effective is the combination of my main product and ancillary tasks?

I have made a directors comentry to show how my three products work together as a marketing package, showing clips from my film and images of my products to support my ideas.

My Album Release Date Advert

I have created my own Album release date advert in the form of a poster. In my poster I went for a simplistic yet conventional layout so that it is familiar. As an advert simplicity is important as adverts are often only glanced over so the main features must be bold and large to stand out.

I have used conventional methods of marketing such as star image. The person in the poster is the same as on the Digipak and in the video which means that the face will already be familiar to fans.

In order to create synergy between all areas of marketing I have used the same font as I used for my Digipak and the same font through out. The Digipak also uses lots of bright colours so in my advert I reflected this by involving lots of bright colours as well.



I have used reliable sources of information such as NME in order to promote the album further. I have also added two website addresses in case fans are interested and want to know more.

I have stuck to the genre of Freak-Folk by having a conventional Folk image which shows someone looking very natural and honest and mixed this with bright colouring to give it a twist.

Advert - Editing process

This is the photo I have chosen in the process of being turned into an advert poster an Photoshop.

The photo's I will choose from

I had a photo-shoot with my star. These are the best ones and I will choose from one of these. I tried to take several different types of photo's so that I had a range to choose from.

Album Release Advert - Plan

In order to achieve this I will have to take photo's of my star. There are a few things I must do in order to get the right kind of photo.

• The photo will have to fit the Folk genre so I will use light make up and a plain white back ground for simplicity as this is often present in Folk adverts.
• The photo's I will take will be very natural and calm in order to fit the genre.
• I will also have my star showing some skin as this is a very natural look, also common in folk adverts. Showing skin is also something that appeals to a wide audience.
• I will take mid shots and close-ups of my star as these are whats common for star image in adverts.

The Importance of the Album Release Date Poster

I have made an Animato to show just how important an Album release date poster is and shows examples.

Advert Copy

In order to practise my Photoshop skills, look at what makes up an advert or an Album or Single and see how this is done I have taken a Single release date advert for Eminem - Lost Yourself and copied it as best I can. I feel my poster looks very similar so I consider the task successful. This was the result;
