I Miss You

Final Ancillary Tasks

Evaluation Question 4

• How did you use new media technologies in the construction and research, planning and evaluation stages?

To answer this question I have created two Stupeflix videos displaying what media technologies I have used and how they have helped me. Overall the availability of new media technologies to me has allowed me to create realistic productions and have allowed me to present my research planning evaluation and productions all in the same place in modern format.

 



Evaluation Question 3

• What have you learnt from your audience feedback? 

 I have recorded a Soundcloud directly answering this particualr question. I have spoken in detail about each production and the improvements I made as a result of audience feedback. Something that I didn't mention in the recording is that when asked 9/10 of my audience said they would recommend I Miss You to a friend some of them saying that they already have, The reactions from my audience were mainly all positive and were the reactions I was aiming to receive from my film. Below I have created a Powtoon to present a selection of the responses I recieved from my open questionnaire. As it was an open questionnaire I was unable to include every response I recieved as all of them were different however, most of them had similar responses and opinions just worded differently. Due to this I have included the responses that were present the most.
After gathering the answers to my closed questionnaire I have created pie charts to illustrate the answers I received. I have presented the pie charts in a Slideshare in order to allow you to see the response to each question all in one place.

I have also embedded the audience feedback I received from my second draft of my film below for you to see.

Evaluation Question 2

• How effective is the combination of your main product and your ancillary task?

In order to answer this question effectively I have created a presentation using Emaze discussing all of the factors I believe are important when considering the effectiveness of the combination of my main product and my ancillary tasks.

Question 2 from ckelly97

Below I have embedded the video to the Mount Dew advert I refer to during my presentation in order to allow you to see exactly what I was referring to whist discussing synergy and how successfully it words in this instance.

Evaluation Question 1

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

In the video when referring to the different theories I am in fact referring to Vladimir Propp character theory and Tsyvetan Todorov narrative theory. Something that I also forgot to mention during the video is that the use of music to help tell the narrative of a short film is a typical convention one that i decided to stick with as I believe it works extremely effectively.
Below I have discussed a few more theories I believe I have developed and used when producing my short film as well as comparing my film poster and review against the style models I used. I have also discussed in more detail my decision to go against typical conventions of a love genre film poster.

Within the SlideBoom I have briefly written about how character and narrative theory apply to my film, due to talking about in detail during my video I haven't written about it in a great amount of detail as I would just be repeating myself however, I thought it may help to visually be able to see the connection between my film and the theories.

Below I have included a link to the two short films I spoke about during my video. Both short films have been nominated for awards showing the true success of the film.

I Miss You (Final Cut)

Editing the Final Scene

Audience Feedback

After making the improvements suggested to me by my target audience from my first draft I decided to show my second draft to a small group of individuals. Below I have included a videoed response to my second draft asking them what worked well and what could be improved.

I Miss You (Draft 2)

Editing Draft 1

Taking into account my audience feedback I have begun edit the final cut of my film. I am planning on adding in a few extra clips as well as replacing a couple clips that there was issues with. The improvements include:

• A re-filmed version of the first text message scene between Imogen and Mason
• A clip of Imogen walking onto the bridge where the lock is
• Added in scene 6 along with a text message scene between Imogen and her friend Sophie about Mason finding someone new
• A clip of Imogen pinning her suicide note onto her mirror
• Added in a final scene, scene 7 where Imogen receives a text from Mason after she's took her life.
• Ensured the music ends on a soft note rather than ending quite abruptly
