GENERAL NOTES

Blog

Not yet well enough organised and not all of you contributing sufficiently to evidence the work I know that you have done. This is reflected in your levels. There must be fixed asap.

Research (and planning)

These pages should have different materials on and you appear to have both research and also some of the planning and pre-production work on the research page.

Michelle - lots of evidence of research - you must reference it - say where you found out what you have written and ensure that it is all in your own words. Use SCRIBD for everything and don’t have extra pages you don’t need on the documents. Level 3

Bintu - some research but mainly pre-prod and planning documents. As with Michelle you must reference any sources. Level 2

Ana - inadequate - Level 1

MV planning

Very little evidence

Level 1

Pre-production

Michelle again you have submitted the most though your documents are substantially out of date and need revising  - or at least adding to.

Level 2/3

Ana and Bintu

Level 1

Production

The MV is excellent and successful though currently on youtube it does have some sound issues which need fixing. You don’t need to reshoot the crying!!! The audience will cry for you anyway. Level 3 (level 4 once technical issues fixed)

You should provide notes to accompany your development though the various drafts and have the most recent at the top.

Ancillaries

5 drafts of the Digipak but no notes to accompany - also final one is at the bottom. No advert.

Digipak is improving but still level2/3 - actually it’s incomplete as the formatting isn’t sorted.

Evaluations

Only 1 evaluation by Michelle.

Questionnaire for 'All My Troubles' By Michelle



















So here we kind of are feedbacking to ourselves and reviewing what we have done so far. 
We did quiet a lot of filming done and we hope with another day of filming like this we can finish our music video. 



Additional feedback 3rd November

MV

WWW

A strong concept and some (only a few) well filmed shots
Performance is focussed
Suitable to genre of music

EBI

Pace of edit while suitable at the very beginning drags when the shots run for too long
More variety of image required to build a sense of narrative
Some use of lip-syncing would help to secure the genre and fit with conventions
Overall the video doesn't hang together yet as it is too slow and the narrative is not clear

Digipak

not sure why there are four panels?

WWW

a basic use of some conventions including an image

EBI

researched suitable similar products and the research informed your decisions
formatted more confidently and made use of the conventions of adverts

Overall, this like the digipak is very basic, please go back to research and build your ideas based upon the research. Also, you will need original photography and I would strongly suggest you look to take photos in different locations from your MV shoot otherwise the impression is one of very limited ideas which is not true to the concept of the MV.

Earlier feedback

You need to have your MV and both ancillaries in draft uploaded to the blog and shared with your social networks along with a questionnaire which solicits feedback on your edit and designs.

Think clearly about the questions you needs and ensure that you get the maximum you can from your feedback.

No MV uploaded so I'm unable to give any feedback. Please make sure that you have you MV uploaded ASAP.

Digipak and Advert

No evidence of an advert - please rectify this asap

Digipak

WWW

All panels filled
Images connect with MV (such as I remember)

EBI

Conventions of digipaks not clearly shown
No evidence of research into similar products
text and fonts, positioning and formatting need to be used more confidently
image manipulation needs to be more effective and to avoid 'pinching'
all images must be photographic NOT screen grabs to secure higher marks

BLOG

slightly concerning to see so little evidence on your blog currently, this needs to change significantly before the next assessment.
