The document provides an evaluation of a personal project on the effects of social media. It summarizes the student's research process, planning, time management, technical and aesthetic qualities of the project, audience appeal, and feedback from peers. The research included surveys to understand different experiences with social media. Planning involved outlining ideas and inspiration from online videos. Time management and completing the project on schedule could be improved. Peer feedback suggested shortening length, including different settings, and increasing text size for various audiences.

3. Research
My research helped my product as I could decide different ideas I could
create. For example YouTube has lots of inspiration witch I took on. It helped
me decide what I wanted to do.
The weakness of my research was it took a little longer as there was so many
ideas I didn’t know witch ones to pick! This had a big effect on my project as it
helped my layout and structure to my project.
I decided to conduct my research through survey monkey I got 14 responses
from friends as well as teams, my response were positive and it helped me
get a better understanding of other peoples experiences with the topic. I
designed m questions in the way to find out more and get peoples reaction. I
asked things like how much do you use social media and how has it effected
you. I also asked for age and gender therefore because I sent it to friends too I
got responses from a range of all ages for example 15-60.

4. Planning
• The strengths of my planning were that I could get all my thoughts out.
And decide how I wanted my film to be. I used images and wrote down
lots of my ideas on my phone as well as on paper. This was great as I could
use all these ideas onto my project and tick them of. It allowed me to
create a great project and make it more personal.
• I planned the project by also using pictures from existing products and
linking them to colours so I could decide what colours I preferred and
went well.
• I used YouTube for my inspiration and the text I added was taken
from websites that provided statistics-

5. Time Management
• I feel my time management could of done with some work, I didn’t
complete my project on time and I feel behind a little. However I managed
to get it completed quickly. I think I took a big project on witch I could of
done with planning a little bit more. I had some troubles with it and I may
of needed to learn some more things before I decided to do it, however iv
learnt a lot and definitely expanded my ideas learning and confidence
within media.
• To improve my time management I could of used a schedule planner and
made a checklist for all the things I needed to tick of and do on my
project.

6. Technical Qualities
This is similar to my film as I
included split screens to one of my
clips to draw the audience in.
This is similar to mine as I got a close
up angle of the phone and inserted
nasty texts to bring emotion into my
project.
I also used a
similar angle in
my film to this
with the POV of
the phone.
However the difference is I used only 2
split screens not 4 I could maybe expand
my knowledge and try and do 4 in the
future
However the
difference I used
was sound
effects over my
angles.
The difference to my project
was I used dramatic music
over my clip.

7. Aesthetic Qualities
In my opinion my work looks very
creative I tried to use as many
techniques I could into my work I
like how iv used split screens and
included images over my clips. I
think the strength of my work is the
structure and idea layout. There's
meaning behind the clips and they
all link together. However a
weakness would be I could of
added more aspects of life for
example different settings like
outside. I Could improve the timing
and maybe expand my fonts and
texts to make it more creative.

8. Audience Appeal
I have appealed to my target audience my using evidence from my
questionnaires and interview. In my questionnaires people had experienced
negative things from social media so I included topics like anxiety and
depression as well as cyber bullying. I also used Instagram feeds into my clips
as everyone scrolls through Instagram right? I felt this was relatable. I know a
lot of people who deal with these situations. I appealed it to all genders not
any specific gender for example I tried not to use She/He in my text, I also
tried to make it relatable to teenagers as I feel there popular topics and social
media is popular with teenagers. Similar videos to mine are also been shown
around colleges and schools to raise more awareness.

9. Peer
Feedback

10. Feedback 1
• What did you like about the product?
– Hard-hitting, factual and thought provoking
• What improvements could have been made to
the product?
– A little bit shorter in length?

11. Feedback 2
• What did you like about the product?
– I like the angles and clip structure
• What improvements could have been made to
the product?
– Could have filmed in different settings including
outside or even in a college setting to make it
more realistic.

12. Feedback 3
• What did you like about the product?
– Informative and interesting
• What improvements could have been made to
the product?
– Increase text size to help audiences see easier for
people with not as good sight for example older
generations.

13. Peer Feedback Summary
• What do you agree with from your peer
feedback?
– I agree that I could have expanded my settings and
increased the text size and had different audiences in
mind
• What do you disagree with from your peer
feedback?
– I disagree with the timings, as it’s a good length for a
short film and I think any shorter I would of struggled
with cutting my clips however it maybe would of
helped with my time management.

14. Peer Feedback Summary
I would film in different places for example
outside. I would increase my text size, as I think this
is a good point and maybe would have acted on this
if I had more time on my project. Therefore I will
learn from this and in the future my timing better
and help perfect the details. I will test my skills more
and be able to take them with me on later projects.
