We are already considering our evaluation questions, therefore we were asked to do a presentation about the following questions: 


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

2. How effective is the combination of your main product and ancillary texts? 

3. What have you learned from your audience feedback? 

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

Exploring Ideas Draft 3

This is our new presentation about our idea for the documentary. As we are constantly exploring new ideas, it help us to understand more about LGBT, get even further details and information, new ideas and new perspectives, and also consideration in developing new episodes. We have changed our idea into 3 categories, and this presentation helped us to break it down into episodes: 

1. IGNORANCE
2. TOLERANCE
3. ACCEPTANCE

C) What did you enjoy about year 12 media?

I've enjoyed working in groups, although my group had a problem at the beginning of the year, it helped me built self confidence, and also to have respect on other people's opinions. However, I found the course very interesting, because we get to know more about the media within society, and how does the media affects or interact with its audience. Producing and editing the coursework, was very interesting as we had to use a lot of technologies. Some of the technologies involved, I had never used so it was really useful to learn. 

D) What did you not enjoy about year 12 media?

The media course is very time consuming, therefore you need to be able to give in all of your time and also put in loads of effort, in order to achieve your target grade. Particularly, I have enjoyed all of my course, therefore I'm taking it as A2.

E) What do you want to achieve in year 13 media?

I hope to achieve better results, both in exam and coursework. I'd like to put even more of my time and also my effort on my works, perhaps get useful resources in books and not only in the internet, as I did in year 12. Also, I would like to learn more skills within the technical side of the course, and improve my time management to handle all of the works on time.
