Evaluation questions 2 and 4 - Answer Powerpoints.

These links will take you to slideshare.com, where I've uploaded my evaluation answers.
It isn't possible to embed these into a blogger post, and so the links are the closest I can get to uploading them to the blog.

Question 2
How effective is the combination of your main product and ancillary tasks?


Question 4
How did you use media technologies in the construction and research, planning and evaluation stages?

Questionnaire for Audience Feedback

These questions are what I'll be using to finish my audience feedback, I'll be 10 people to answer one after seeing my film so that I can analyse these results and see how effective my film actually was.

I asked about endings because I had a lot of trouble organising the end for my film and so I'd like to know if the ending I used works well, and how others would have done it, if they would do it differently

Evaluation Question 1

(The video is a bit quiet, the sound didn't convert over to Youtube well.)

Question 2 and 4 are Slideshows, as the slideshare upload page is blocked in school, they will have to be uploaded later.

Short film

As it's finished, I thought I'd put up the film itself, it's also on youtube, and I have put out a request that people watch it and comment with their thoughts on it.

Review

The review has started, I'm getting the writing done first and then fitting in the colour scheme and graphics around that. From looking through other reviews I've noticed that there is rarely just one review on a page, and so I decided to take 3 short films I watched during research and do very short reviews, and include them on the page as a 'Short film' feature page. These are theshort reviews which will be included at the end of the article:

Traffic Warden

David Tennant, Sophie Hunter, Morwenna Banks starred in Donald Rice’s 2004 10 minute rom-com ‘Traffic Warden’, about a love struck traffic warden ‘Romeo’ chasing his ‘Juliet’. With no scripted speech and quirky storyline (Centred around goldfish...) this is a great family short film. 8.5/10

Sorry I’m Late

The Tomas Mankovsky 2009 short ‘Sorry I’m late’ is fun little 3 minute stop-motion piece, ideal for all ages, following a man (Simon Carroll Jones) on his journey after missing a bus, overcoming some rather strange obstacles in rather strange ways.  8/10

For My Blossom

The 2004 6 minute animation ‘For my Blossom’ by Gaku Kishonita is the story of a little boy, trying to find his own path. A little darker than the other two films, but the simple storyline and animation alongside the little boy’s voiceover makes this a memorable piece. 7/10

Late change

Okay, because I've had a few setbacks (Cameras losing material, being rejected from using shops [In one shop I was told "We don't like your sort here!".... Not exactly sure what 'My sort' is or why I wasn't welcome, but, hey ho] and various other issues) I've decided to have a rethink of the end (again).

I had a thought that she'd go round looking for it, and be unsuccessful, and then we cut to her packing to go away (to university maybe) and her finding the doll and packing it away to take with her.
