Evaluation Question 1

Evaluation Question1: In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?

For this question we'd like you to produce a video or a prezi.(examples have been included at the end of the post). You could do a powerpoint and convert it in slideshare if you'd prefer. If you don't create a video for this question then you will need to for another.
Videos can be split screen with half of you discussing your production and comparing it to real media texts and the other half examples of what you're discussing or you can opt for a voice over with images on screen of what you're discussing.

You have 2 lessons to complete this question.
