Question 1: In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?

Existing Products
This is my SlideShare showing how my product is alike existing products and why I made choices to use similar techniques and shots.

I also evaluated the use of conventions in my video. I also looked at theories of narrative, audience, representation and post modern style. Extension of post modernism in my video: My video requires an active audience to watch the video and interpret the scenes. A passive audience is 'spoon-fed' the narrative however in the starting scene the girl smothers the other however then in the following scenes she is alive and at the end she sits up and removes the pillow. This links with the dis-trust of narratives because some people would feel a bit confused to why she isn't dead however the narrative relies on the audience to interpret the following scenes and put together the idea that it was in her head. It also shows the confusion over time and space because I used shots from different scenes in other scenes and time/space it makes the audience question, when are they seeing what's in her head and when is it real life?

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

Question 3: What have you learned from your audience feedback?

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

I used Hardware and Software during my planning and research, production and evaluation of my coursework. Below is two prezi's which look at the hardware and software individually and how I used each one in the relevant stages. Overall hardware and software were the foundations of my coursework without them I wouldn't have been able to produce my music video. I didn't have that many technical issues. However the main issues I did have were:
YouTube upload time: Often I found that the speed of uploading videos was very slow. Overnight I had left a four minute video to upload, in the morning it still wasn't completed. Therefore I couldn't upload many videos from home. From college it was difficult to upload videos because the internet speed was temperamental, sometimes the videos would upload in twenty minutes however other times it gave me times like 2333 minutes which was really slow and unrealistic.
Internet: Linked back with the YouTube one, the wifi had ran out at my house (partly due to the attempts to upload videos) therefore I couldn't access it. I do talk about this in the software prezi however it was one of my main problems I ran into relating to technology.
