Early Consideration of the Evaluation Questions

When we actually come to creating our Media product we must consider the evaluation questions early on so we are able to answer them and fulfill what it ask's of. In my group we sat down and started to consider the evaluation questions;

Question One.
In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products ?
After some discussion we decided to challenge the stereo type expectations of a "Chav". So we made our genius hacker (The protagonist) into a Chav instead of the regular predicted "Nerdy computer geek" 
Another convention that we challenge is the look of the "good guy" and "bad guy" If you were to see a  man smartly dressed with polished shoes a straight posture and a smart but stylish hair cut and a young boy/man in Trackies and a hoodie with scuffed up shoes and a hunched shoulder posture, which one would you identify as the one more likely to do or has done crime ?... 
Exactly. You thought the chav because of his stereotype and look, this is how we are challenging the conventions, the quote 'don't judge a book by its cover" comes to mind here. 

Question Two.
How Does your media product represent particular social groups?
I've already touched on this answer in the first question, but incase you didn't catch the social group, it's "Chavs" we represent it in appearance mainly as our chav isn't the ordinary stereotypical chav. 

Question Three
What kind of media institution might distribute your media product? Why?
Any studio looking to commission a new and interesting movie, at this stage though we're not too concerned about which kind of movie institution might distribute our movie, we could decide to just put it straight to DVD if no cinemas want to showcase our movie. 

Question Four
Who would be the audience for your media product? 
We target our audience at age 15 to 25+ and the main viewing sex would be male as it was researched that men are more interested in thrillers.
Question Five
How did you attract/address your audience?
This is not yet applicable as we have not produced out media product yet.

Question Six 

What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?
As we have yet to construct our product, it is not yet applicable to answer this question.

Question Seven 
Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the full product?
I will come back to answering this once i have created the full product.
