Evaluation 4:How did you use media technologies in the construction and research, planning and evaluation stages?

Evaluation 3:What have you learned from your audience feedback

Evaluation 2: How effective is the combination of your main product and ancillary texts

We want the audience to be intrigued and genuinely concerned this is why we have left the adverts as more interesting than exposing.
