Evaluation For Video
My media product does not break the 180 degree rule in any way which uses the form of convention of this rule in other media products. This is used so when the shot cuts from one to another the camera sees the people in the shot on the same angle each time to stop confusion by the audience making it look like the people have changed positions.
It also uses the form and convention of real media products as it follows the match on action rule. I have acheived this by making each shot when cut, look like one continuous scene.
My media product is also made for teenage viewing but on the other hand the terminology used suggests an alternative look on teenages as some is quite advanced like the word "approximatley" is used where as usual teenagers use simple, short words and dialouge.
The type of media institution most likely to use and distribute my media product would be BBC2 as this particular programme distributes many documntaries and the most out of the terresrial channels. This would be appropriate for my media product as it has a documentary/interview theme to it.
The simple and plain terminology and setting to the video suggests the target audience should be of a younger age so that it is easier for them to understand. Because I stuck to the 180 degree rule and match on action it mant it wouldn't become complicated for younger people to undertand the positioning and angles of the characters and objects involved in the framing.
I used Adobe Premier Pro 2 to edit my video and make necessary changes to it which I found made aot of difference from the start and the end peice created from the use of the preogramme. I think this because it enbaled me to make the video look like one continuous scene and being able to keep my audience's attention on the video. We also named each clip to organise each one so it enabled us to not miss use any of our clips in the wrong places and overall saving us time.

Plan For Location, Camera Positions And Camera Movements Of Interview
The location of my interview will be set where there are two chairs placed to the rear of a door to enable a person to walk throught he door and immediatley recognising the other person sat on the chair.
I will use a tracking shot to follow the person walking up to the door from the right hand side. I will then use an extreme close-up of the person placing their hand on the handle, pushing it down and pushing it until the door is aboput 2 feet open then I will cut. Whilst filming this from the point where the person pushes the handle down i will zoom out on them.
Next I will proceed to filming from the room that the person awaiting the interview in and from where they would be sat, this creates a point of view shot and a low angle shot to show the position of the person on the chair being lower down than the one coming through the door.
As the person walks into the room I will go from the cut of opening the door 2 feet and carry out the rest of the walk into the room and then use an extreme close-up on the handle when the force is applied to the door to shut it into the lock.
Now I will use a tracking shot to follow the person to their chair and until they sit down where I will cut to an over the shouler shot of the person who is sat down where they will greet the person who was sat waiting for them. Then I will change the shot to an over the shoulder shot of the person greeting the person who came throught the door back.
I will now alternate the shots to over the shoulder shots for the two questions they will be discussing to when the person who is asking the question the shot will be over the shoulder at the person listening. Then, when the other person is replying to the question it will be an over the shoulder shot at the person who asked the question and who is recieving the answer.
I will finally use a couple shot to film the two people shaking hands and saying goodbye.

180 dgree rule and match shots
The 180 degree rule is the rule that once you've done the master shot you cannot cross the line of 180 degrees.
Match shot is the making of two shots to match and look like a continuous scene.

This particular magazine is aimed at college students and is easily noticible by the bold mast head in the centre of the front page with the name "The College Issue".Another factor that would attract the target audience of college students is the scrap book effect on the cover of random photographs, colour, and text in all different shapes and sizes. This represents a students scrap book or a collage effect being like a piece of work.
The photos include younger people so they immediately know it is aimed at their age group andthe kind of people that would read it.
Beat magazine also has the same target audience as the first magazinen being teens/students.
I notice that the mast head which is always the largest text on the cover of the magazine has been covered up by a young, attractive woman looking sexually appealing as she is wearing nothing on the top half of her body. This factor would increase the number of male buyers as at this age they've not long become sexually active.
By having the name of a very famous person in bold attracts the attention of young females because of her popular music making towards the audience of younger people and for the males because "Jennifer Lopez" is associated with being a very good looking young woman.
By including in bold, bright writing the fashions that are coming in for the next season approaching it attracts the attention of female students who most all of them are interested in fashion and are very concious about what they look like so this advertisement is basically saying to buy the new fashion.
Audience Profile
The reader is of the male gender. He is at sixth form college. He is a regular 16-18 year old boy who enjoys all the things in life that everyday college students enjoy like drinking, sex and going out with friends into town at the weekends. He is also looking for his ideal girl to start dating and needs help on trying to find her. He also wants to start to learn to drive as he has just passed his 17th birthday and has had his first car off his parents for his main birthday present. He would like all of the latest fashion and designer clothes and the latest music in the charts right now. He would over all be laid back in the week and come alive at the weekend and be out going and always up for a laugh.
