Evaluation Question 1

Evaluation Question 1

Here is my first evaluation task analysing the ways that my media products use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real life media products. In order to do this, I will look back at the knowledge I have collected in my previous blog tasks, to help me decide whether I have used conventions well or not. This will be done by looking at Goodwin's theory, a comparison between my products and other Indie products (music video and ancillary), the stereotypes of narratives and the typical codes and conventions used in digipacks and album adverts.

In conclusion to my first evaluation task, I feel like overall I have followed the majority of obvious conventions so that the products look real and professional, however, I also feel like I have thrown a few twists into my products, breaking and challenging conventions such as including images of my artist on my ancillary products, especially the covers so that my products are instantly recognisable as linked together. I decided to challenge this convention to make my products different and unique, in comparison to other Indie products, so that it would stand out and also look more modern, much like the artists within the genre.
