Evaluation

After completing my final task for my AS Media portfolio I am now going to evaluate what I have produced, how and why I produced my music magazine. This is the evaluation stage of my task. I have answered seven questions concerning my music magazine, what I have learnt and looking back at my preliminary task. 

Each question is displayed on a different format to show that I have learnt many different techniques while producing this media product.

+ research

On my DPS I decided to include social media as an aspect to include the audience in the interview. So I used twitter to tweet questions which would usually be asked in a Q&A on twitter:

1. What is the most trouble you’ve ever gotten into? #askellen #elemantq+a
2. What are the five things you can’t live without? #askellen #elemantq
3. What’s your motto or the advice you live by? #askellen
4. What is your favourite song ever? And why?  #askellen #elemantq+a
5. If you could go open up for any artist on tour right now who would it be? #askellen
