Example of how to start Q1 in the evaluation

EVALUATION ACTIVITY 1 In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products? (i.e. of film openings) You should go through the final version of the project and select nine elements which you screengrab and drop into a photoshop. You will be using these to write about how typical or not of film magazines your particular design is, so choose them carefully. Once you have the nine frames neatly in Photoshop, screengrab the whole thing and post to your blog, then write an analysis of how you have used such conventions. The aspects we would like you to consider across your nine frames are: The title of the magazine mise-en-scene of images Costumes and props People Title font and style Written content Music genre and how your magazine suggests it Layout Contents pages
