Evaluation Question 1 (By Georgie watters)
1) In what ways does your media product use, develop or challengeforms and conventions of real media products?
Our media product 'Fashion Tribes' developed and challenged forms and conventions of real media products by conventions such as mise-en scene, interview framing and cinematography. This includes every thing that is in front of the camera during interviews. Cutaways were essential to our documentary. When filming our interviewees, me being director i chose to include fashion props in the background that related to our documentary so that our audience could relate to the topic. For example in the shot below we have Dj Will Boden, we included fashion props to maximize the fashion aspect of our documentary.
For our main interview we had well known fashion lecturer Marie Loney, we decided to film her in her office, as she had fashion posters in the background. by using this location it filled the fashion aspect. As a group we used many other conventions in our documnetary such as, statistics, footage and images of certain modelling shoots, all of what our audience would expect to see in a documentary. The conventions we used also related to our voiceover for 'Fashion Tribes'.

Evaluation Question 2 (By Georgie Watters)
2) How effective is the combination of your main product and the ancillary texts?
The purpose of my main product was to inform our audience oh how society is effecting the way people dress. By doing the ancillary tasks it helped us promote our documentry 'Fashion Tribes' Through The Channel HCTV. I made a newspaper advertisment and a radio trailer to attract my potential audience, into believeing that our documentary would be worth watching.
By creating a newspaper advertisment, i hope that it will help advertise and promote 'Fashion Tribes' the documentary. i used a powerful image and informative texts, that include the time, the date and the channel that our documentary will be aired on. I captured an image that would immediately connote to our audience what our documentry will be about, and will also help inform them of the date, time and channel that it will be aired on. When deciding on how to create my newspaper advertisment
Once i had decided how i wanted my newspaper advertisment to look, i then put my idea's together to create it. I used a balcony as my location thus i used 2 girls dressed in fashionable dresses, to convey to the audience they they fit into the typical stereotypes that surround fashion trends.
I then uploaded my image on to a computer and showed my media teacher. When looking at my first draft of my newspaper advertisment, we both decided that my image needed to be more colourful and needed to be more lighter to enhance the image.

Evaluation Question 3 (By Georgie watters)
3) What Have You Learned From Your Audience Feeback?
This is a video of a girl that kindly gave us feedback on our documentary.
After interviewing one person for my audience feedback, i have learnt that out documentary could have been a bit more different, other than that we did pretty well. We interviewed Teme who is a student at college. She said that the beginning of our documentary, when we have the cutaway of different magazines being chucked was very "professional", shows the audience that we used different techniques to make our documetary stand out.
The next question which was asked was "In what ways do you think it reflects generic conventions of fashion? Teme has said to believe that we followed all conventions as we included all the main bits, for example interviews, cutaways, voiceovers etc. Shows people who are watching this that we did follow all conventions in order to create a good documentary and made it as informative as possible.
What improvements would you suggest? Teme pointed out that if we actually filmed something from a live fashion event, would have made our documentary much better because it will show how we tried out different areas, and worked hard at finding things that have to do with our Fashion Tribes topic. However at the time of when we were doing our production, we were unable to film any fashion shows because there was no shows going on when we were free to film.

4) How did you use new media technologies in the construction and research, planning and evaluation stages?
Throughout the process of making our documentary Fashion Tribes, from planning to the editing, we as a group used many different media technologies to help create a professional looking media product. Throughout the planning stages we as a group used many websites such as Google, Scribd, Bubbl.us, Blogger and YouTube.

By Our camera and sound girl using all this equipment it insured us that we would have a outcome of a professional filmed documentary.

By doing our research on google we gained some of the best possible information in order gain knowledge on our topic.
