Evaluation

Here is my evaluation which I have created on a Prezi. I have embedded each video onto my prezi however they have not come up as a video but I do not know the problem for this but there is the link to take you to the video also.

Overall, I think we have created a really impressive and successful media promotion, with all of our skills combined and advanced media products we have created some really creative and interesting pieces of media.

Prezi!!

One of our main aims for this product was to try and make the planning, construction and evaluative stages exciting and interactive and after being introduced to a new progamme called Prezi I was able to do this. It allows you to do far more than a usual powerpoint presentation as all the work is on one black canvas, but you can create pathways, zoom in and out, rotate and upload photos and videos. It gives a new element of creativity which we can build upon to make my evaluation more interesting not only for me but my examiner! Hopefully my evaluation will now be exciting and interactive!

Final Production Finished

All the editing is complete and subsidiary texts are uploaded. The next stage for us is to complete our evaluation.

Our final advert

This is our final magazine advert, because the majority of the photoshop editing was done on Charlie laptop she was able to upload all of the final copies easily.

Researching Layouts

Before making our advert. we needed to research designs and layours of conventional aper adverts in order to follow some basic skills to try and make an eye catching exciting advert which is recognisable as a magazine advert.

These are a few skills i found on the school files in the media area which are accessible to students:

Think about your own desk top publishing skills

On your sketches be sure to indicate layers of image/import

Locate the typography in order to establish in-house style and help focus
the rest of the planning

Present the images you have taken on to a separate sheet of paper and
Annotate them with
Style
Relevance
Sharpness
Mise-en-scene
Crop marks
Re-shoot info

§ Cut and paste sample fonts onto your draft to show scale and a real life effect

§ Make the bottom appear visually heavier with your composition
– The eye prefers this and it is more aesthetically pleasing.

§ Follow your identified conventions when placing text/typography

§ Do not clutter

§ Use original images

§ Make the implied and overt tone relevant to your identified audience

§ Choose pose and camera angle carefully to ensure the positive/negative
representation you need.

Consider background carefully
– Be aware of the need for cropping and the time it will take.

Only 60-70% of the readers will give your advert more than 10 seconds
thought so make it and demanding.

Enjoy the task – it will come across passively in the final artefact
