The document contains evaluation questions for a product and the responses from a candidate. The questions ask how the product uses, develops, or challenges existing conventions; how effective the combination of the main product and ancillary texts are; what was learned from audience feedback; and how media technologies were used in development. The candidate explains that their planning process involved uploading materials to a blog for organization. They also analyze conventions of soap operas and evaluate two examples in their blog to demonstrate how their trailer conforms to conventions through techniques like minimal makeup, close-up shots, and natural lighting to create realism.
