Conventions of OTS

The evaluation questions that this post relates to are:

•In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products? (This is the evaluation question you will need to answer on conventions)

•Who would be the audience for your media product? (your audience is dependent on the conventions you wish to portray)

How did you attract/address your audience? (you'd attract them through the conventions you chose to use - so discuss this)

Task: Summarise, using ICT (see web tools shown in the right hand column of this blog for examples), the conventions of an OTS.
