Final Project

Evaluation Question - Powerpoint meets Photograph: What have you learned from your audience feedback?

This question was originally answered using a microsoft powerpoint. However, despite trying many times, I have been unable to upload it to my blog. I have tried videoing myself doing the presentation, but the quality is always very poor and most of the time you cannot see what is going on onscreen!

Therefore, I have decided that the only way to upload it is to take screenshots of each slide and upload them as photos. This is unfortunate, as I uploaded some great animations into the original powerpoint which you now will not get to see. Anyhow, I hope my answer to the question is clear enough.

Evaluation Question - Interview: In what ways does your media product use develop and challenge forms and conventions of real media products?

Evaluation Question - Poster: How did you use media technologies in the construction and research, planning and evaluation stages?

Evaluation - Prezi: How effective is the combination of your main product and your ancillary tasks?

Final Ancillary Tasks

Here is my magazine article:

And my poster:

Timings of the Film

The timing cues for the storyboard went out the window!! This is because the actual narrative of the poem had to be drastically cut to be under 5 minutes. Therefore, much of the second half of the poem had to be reduced or cut completely; despite this, I kept the most crucial moments in the poem, so the story is still understandable!

The speed of the movements of the manniquins vary greatly. Death, Life-in-Death and the Ancient Mariner are all quite slow (between 0.50 and 0.75 seconds per shot) but for different reasons. Death and LID are slow simply because they are the most powerful forces in the poem - they are in no rush to inflict their torment on the mariner! The ancient mariner on the other hand, is slow simply because he is elderly. He is meant to be weak and ravaged from his curse!

The young mariner and the wedding guest on the other hand are much faster; the mariner because he is young and energetic; the wedding guest because he is nervous and jittery!
