Evaluation
In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?
How effective is the combination of your main product and ancillary texts?
What have you learned from your audience feedback?
My audience feedback has shown me that I should've taken more time editing my video and figuring out what sounds to use rather than spending time on my ancillary texts, which were my advertisement poster for the film and the website. I chose three people at random from my A2 Media class and asked them a series of questions. These were, 'What type of media text is this video?' 'What genre is this video?' 'What are it's positives?' 'What are it's negatives?' and 'Would you go see this film in cinema or even buy the DVD?'. Each of the audience members gave a different response. I used GoAnimate.com to produce three short videos. The videos consist of each of their responses to the questions. I chose to use GoAnimate.com as I have never used it before, I had also seen someone else use it and it looked like a fun way to show work.
How did you use new media technologies in the construction and research, planning and evaluation stages?
Internet
For my planning, which was done during the summer, I used a range of technologies to find out information on film trailers and advertising. I mainly used YouTube on the internet to find the video clips of the horror and thriller film trailers. I watched endless amounts of film trailers, from each of the Saw films to the Paranormal Activity film trailers.

Nearly there...
I need to change a few things on this over Easter. This includes changing the 18 certificate logo and the DVD logo. As you can see from the image, these two logos have a different back ground compared to the models jacket. I will individually cut out to perfection each of these logos, this way the will look as if they are real, just like an actual DVD cover. I may also change the back ground colour on this DVD as I think there is too much white, however I may add some more text or even some smaller images onto the cover.
Over Easter I will also be finishing the back of my DVD cover. I have started it but I want to add a little more too it before I put it onto my blog. The back cover will contain a summary of the film, a few images and a bar code as well as a few smaller features. The back cover will have the same colour scheme as the website and the front of the DVD cover.

New cast
Due to changes I have had to form a new cast group. In my new cast there are only two people. The cast consists of myself and Luke Bolton. Luke is the main character and I am the victim.
Construction of Website
When planning my website layout and colour scheme, I wanted it to link and follow my DVD cover. I've carried on the red, white and black colour scheme to show continuity. Over a period of a few hours I took several images to put onto my website these were then used to put into the scroll bar which goes across the center of the website. These images may be changed within the next few days, depending on when my model returns from his holiday. However, I think he returns the last day of Easter, I have easy contact with my model, so I will be able to arrange for the first day back at college another short photo shoot. It will only take about an hour, maybe even less. I do have a fair range of photos but they are quite similar. I need a bigger range of different locations.
