Evaluations for My Opening Sequence - Introduction

I have decided to present my evalutions in two different digital formats including a director's commentary for Question 1 and extracts from a film-related podcast for Questions 2, 3 and 4.

In my evaluations I will be answering the following questions: 

Q1. How does your product use or challenge conventions and how does it represent social groups and issues?

I have chosen to present the answer to this question as a director's commentry because I will be discussing conventions of both opening sequences generally, and genre more specifically, and I want my audience to see those conventions on screen while I am discussing them. 

Q2. How does your product engage with audiences and how would it be distributed as a real media text?

I have chosen to present this question as the first part of a film-related podcast that will target fans of the folk horror sub-genre. The response to a series of questions from the podcast host will include textual analysis of my opening sequence in terms of how I have attempted to create meaning for my audience, consideration of who my audience is in terms of age and gender, discussion of key decisions regarding film language and what would the release and distrubtion patterns would be for 'Equinox'. Part of distribution involves marketing, so I will consider the film's viral marketing campaign and what aspects that includes.

Q3. How did your production skills develop throughout this project?

This question will be presented as a continuation of the folk horror podcast and will revolve around discussion of the ways my production and editing skills developed throughout the process. 

Q4. How did you intergate technologies - software, hardware and online - in this project?

The last question will be presented as the final segment of the interview on the folk horror podcast, where I will discuss aspects of hardware (camera, mic, mixing desk, phone, laptop), software (Blogger,  Adobe Premiere Pro, Adobe After Effects, Adobe Photoshop) and online (Imp Awards, Art of the Title, font websites) in terms of how they helped with my project.
