Research and Planning guidelines
When researching similar products to the ones you’ll be producing you will need to:
a)conduct a textual analysis of the products, looking at the 6 technical areas – mise-en-scene, representations, forms and conventions, editing and sound then:
b)consider the contexts of consumption for each product, in other words the ways in which audiences consume the products (when, where and who with?).
To help you do this you should type up bullet point notes on the following questions:
1.How many possible consumption contexts do your researched products (and by extension your own products) have?
2.What does this mean in terms of the potential target audience?
3.Are there specific conventions that you have identified in your researched products?
4.How will you use these conventions within the production of your own product?
5.Is the product you have chosen to create original within the marketplace or is it placed within a tradition of such products?
All of the notes that you produce regarding the context of your products will provide essential reference material when you come to your critical evaluation.
