Starting the Evaluation


There are different ways to approach the evaluation. In class I have been shown examples of how other students interpreted the seven questions, all of which adopt similar mediums but modify them slightly in order to evoke a personal touch. Examiners in the past have praised students for using a variety of creative techniques to promote their responses, so I want to create something that is both an in-depth and imaginative reflection on my work over the last few months. 

Different Formats that I could use:

Audio Visual
Many candidates used either a voiceover to accompany the text on screen or a narration to act as a guide to the visual techniques appearing on screen. This enables the student to include both a scripted piece of dialogue as well as a visual supplement in order to establish a convergence of media platforms. Not only does this demonstrate variation in the knowledge of technology, but also allows a more effective demonstration due to the vocal and visual features complementing each other. 

Video
A video in my opinion gives the candidate the most freedom. It allows them to explore the way in which they convey their answers through what needs to be an engaging visualisation. By doing this it converts a standard response onto a platform with numerous possibilities, such as imitating the form of a documentary, a job interview etc. 
Using a medium like video means that I would need to express an understanding of camera shots, mise en scene and editing in order to make my video seem creatively unique and professional. 

Visual
Prezzies and slideshows lend themselves naturally to this because they enable the candidate to have a more succinct structure to their answers. The flow and chronology of the presentation makes for an obvious but effective layout, allowing students to stress their points concisely but clearly. On a platform like this there would be an expectation for lots of images, links, and there would be less of a focus on the textual input.
