Using the evaluation questions

Throughout planning and filming, we used multiple sources to help us gain the marks we needed. We also took note of the evaluation questions which we felt would aid us in planning.


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



  • How does your media product represent particular social groups?



  • What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?



  • Who would be the audience for your media product?



  • How did you attract/address your audience?



  • What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?



  • Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the full product?

We considered each question carefully and reflected regularly  ensuring we would gain high marks and make evaluating the project easier. These questions also steered part of our development as it opened us up to the idea of targeting a particular audience which further led us to decide on taking a more political approach to the idea of a terrorist. This spurred the idea of the threat video and moved us away from the idea of using much action in our opening.

We also decided that we would aim for a different take of the thriller genre due to the first question. This is mostly apparent in the music choice as we decided not to use a generic thriller soundtrack for the opening. However, we eventually decided that a more conventional soundtrack suited the opening much better.
