Evaluation Question 4; How Did You Use New Media Technologies In The Reasearch and Planning, Contruction and Evaluation Stages?

Below, I have embedded the final evaluation question. For question four, we decided to create two screen casts and then further embed video examples. 

Web 2.0

Web 2.0 is also another technology in which we used in all stages of creating our products. Web 2.0 is commonly associated with web applications which allow the user to interact with the web via Information sharing, collaboration and user-centered design. An few examples of web 2.0 applications are blogs, video-sharing (YouTube, Vimeo), social-networking sites (Facebook, Twitter) and wiki's (Wikipedia). The main factor of web 2.0 is that the site allows its users to interact with other users or change the website content e.g. embedding HTML code into Blogger, as in previous years before web 2.0 the user was limited to passive viewing of information. This meant that we were able to embed research materials; videos, documents and audio, create a blog and create entries, post our products to the web and communicate via social-networking.

Here is a comparison video highlighting the difference between high definition and standard definition.

Below, as mentioned in the above videos, is a Photoshop tutorial video, which aided me in the creation process.

Evaluation Question 3; What Have You Learnt From Audience Feedback?

Above is the answer to the question in the title of the post. Below I have embedded our Rough Cut and our Final Cut as a reference.

Evaluation Question 2; How Effective Is The Combination of Your Main Product and Your Ancillary Tasks?

Below, I have embedded the answer to the question in the post title, for which we have used a screen capture with audio commentary explaining the use of shots, editing and camera work in our film, as well as techniques that we have used in our poster and magazine. At the end of screen capture, we have also explained the effectiveness of all the products and how they create an overall brand identity.


Breakdown:
0:10 - Film Deconstruction.
8:26 - Poster Deconstruction
9:28 - Magazine Deconstruction
9:57 - Across brand combination and Identity.

Overall, I believe that we have successfully accomplished the creation of a film, magazine review and movie poster to a very high standard as well as all three products coming together to successfully create an overall brand identity for Reborn from Sin.

Evaluation Question 1: In What Way Does Your Film Use, Challenge and Develop Forms and Conventions of Real Media Products?

Below, I have embedded the first of four evaluation questions, in this video Adele and Sam are discussing and highlighting the conventions; use, developed or challenged, in our final product (film). We have edited into the video, some examples of our own product and some existing media products, this is to further show the range of conventions used, where they were used and how they compared to existing media products. 

Addressing Our Target Audience

Since posting our final cut of Reborn From Sin, we have had to make some decisions regarding our target audience. Due to age rating guidelines set by BBFC, we agree that our film would be rated 18 due to the nature of some of the scenes in our flashback. However, we need to think about the age, gender and background of our audience.

We feel that our film would probably appeal to both genders between ages 18-21 due to the thrilling genre and chilling plotline of our film. We then think that our film would appeal to over 21 year olds, probably more females than males, because they will be able to empathise with our main character, Samantha.

Finally, we feel that anyone could watch this film, this film would not appeal to religious people more than atheists jut because it has religious themes. This is because Angels and Demons has a religious theme, but that does not mean that non-religious people did not go to watch it or did not enjoy it.

Reborn From Sin; Final Cut

Above is the final cut of our film, newly named Reborn From Sin. We are aware that our film does not follow our treatment, script, storyboard or animatic exactly. We will possibley re-make these and embed them in a later post as it wouldn't take too much work, however, we feel that on a creative level our film has just grown further from its original idea, and so it is not a disaster that we do not follow our planning strictly.
