Evaluation of Poster

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

Our poster follows the codes of conventions of other similar media texts, in the infomation that we put across on the video, as all the infomation that is present on our poster can be found on most other posters advertising albums. The main image of our photo can be linked with the Saturday Night Fever, showing the intertextuality links of the poster, and that the poster can be linked with other famous dancing images, and this is a link we have made throughout all three products. This is not necessarily a standard code of a music poster, however, the fact that the poster can be linked to another famous dance poster makes the poster more effective in the fact that the point of the song is put across through the poster.

What have you learned from your audience feedback?
The audience feedback we have recieved from our poster has been largely positive. The main image was said to be good, and the text we used was well recieved. The only criticism we really had from the poster was that the bakground may have been a bit basic, however, the whole poster combined worked well, and people liked the link to 'Saturday Night Fever'

How did you use media technologies in the construction and research, planning and evaluation stages?
In researching our poster, we used music magazines, such as Q and NME, and the internet to try and find similar media texts, as this would help us in studying the codes and conventions of other music magazine adverts.

In the production stage, we again used the Apple Mac computers, with the Photoshop program, which allowed us to edit all the components of our poster, to get the final image.

When evaluating the poster, we used a dictaphone to gather audience feedback, and also used Microsoft Word in order to record what had been said about our poster.
