In What Ways Does Your Media Product Use, Develop Or Challenge Conventions of Other Media Products?

Why A Director's Commentary?

 

I chose to use a director's commentary for the format of this first evaluation question because I'm able to easily compare my media product with other existing ones,  which means I can later on spot similiarities or differences I didn't spot before between the  two media products.

When doing sort film research early on in the process, I collated information I found to produce a mini breakdown of the differences between short films and  feature length films therefore I decided to check off the ones I believe my short film achieves.

The film's brief was to be 5 minutes therefore it wasn't up to 10 minutes.
