Evaluation Question 1

In what ways does your product use/develop/challenge forms and conventions of real media products?


I believe that the documentary, radio advert and print advert do not challenge the codes and conventions of real media products. I have followed all possible conventions in hope of creating a professional looking media.

To demonstrate how I have done this I think the best way would be to compare my documentary to real media prodocuts.

Framing:



































The top screen grab is from my documentary and the bottom one is from the link below:

The framing in both of these interviews have been filmed in medium close up and are both aligned to one side of the shot with a looking space for the interviewee. In both shots the eye line of the interviewee is roughly one third of the way down, following convention.



Graphics:
















The screen grab from the left is from my documentary and the one from the right is form the link below:

Both of these onscreen graphics follow documentary conventions as they are on the opposite side to the interviewee and they also give the person's name and anchor their relation to the subject. There is also a use of simple, white typography and the top line font is bigger than the bottom.





Cutaways:








INTERVIEWEE




















CUTAWAY




















INTERVIEWEE




















INTERVIEWEE














CUTAWAY



















INTERVIEWEE










The top set of screen grabs are from my documentary and the bottom set are from the link below:

In both shots the questions ahve been cut out of the documentary and the interviewee is talking directly about what the cutaway is showing.
