Creative critical question 4

For this question, I made a magazine article. The question is that "How did you integrate technologies- software, hardware, and online - in this project?"

Here is the article:





Creative critical question 3

Question 3 is "How do your products engage with the audience and how would they be distributed as real media products?"

For this question, I made two Powtoons since I could not finish in one Powtoon. Here are the Powtoons:
Part 1
Part 2

Creative critical question 2

For the creative critical question 2, I have made a Prezi. The question is: "How do the elements of your production work together to create a sense of 'branding'?

Creative critical question 1

The question is "How do your products use or challenge conventions and how do they represent social groups or issues?". For this question, I used a voicethread to talk about my products.

The draft of the documentary and feedback

This is the first draft of our documentary. We got some feedbacks of the documentary and there are lots of things that we need to change.

Firstly, since our target audiences are both Chinese and other countries people, we need to add captions in order to make all our target audience understand what we are talking about. For the Chinese captions are fine as I know what I need to write, however, I made lots of mistakes on English captions, such as some grammar mistakes and some spelling mistakes. As a result, I need to change it.

Secondly, in the facts scenes and the question scenes, we just put both Chinese and English captions in it, which make the scene look really crowded, and also it may be hard to read as there are too many words. As a result, we may need to add voiceover.

Thirdly, in the documentary, we only put the music in one scene where the other scenes have no music. The reason of this is because we did not know where we could put the music and what music we could put. And this makes the documentary seems to be quite boring.

And Finally, most of the scenes in the documentary are the interviews of our main character, Cynthia, we may consider to remove the last part, which is about the misunderstanding, and replace it with some scenes of Chinese students stay together. This could make the documentary be more interesting.

The second draft of the poster

As in our first poster, we only put on the Chinese title, but our audience also contain the international audience which may not understand Chinese. As a result, I need to put on the English title as well. However, as I want to use the same font style in all our production, I need to use the photoshop again to remove the background colour, which looks like this:
This is the English title that I have already removed the background. And I put it just below the Chinese title:
Now the problem of title is sorted, however, I still not put the credit yet. Also, another problem is that the tagline in the poster may be too slight and therefore the audience may find it is hard to read. As a result, I also need to sort it out. Moreover, I think I might need to change the size of the poster as it looks a little bit narrow, if I put in the credit, it may looks too many words in it.
