Post 38: CHECKPOINT 1: PLANNING

CHECKPOINT ONE: PLANNING

To review and evaluate our work at this point, we have to think how well our coursework is going so far, and which aspects we'd like to improve. However, instead of commenting on our own work which can be difficult to do, I have read and taken two other fellow students work to see what they have done well, what I would like to incorporate into my work and what they could improve (so they get constructive criticism and if they do the same as me, so do i). Below is the mark scheme for our coursework which will help me figure out what is successful and what isn't.

MARK SCHEME:
Level 3 12–15 marks
  • Planning and research evidence will be complete.
  • There is proficient research into similar products and a potential target audience.
  • There is proficient work on shotlists, layouts, drafting, scripting or storyboarding.
  • There is proficient organisation of actors, locations, costumes or props.
  • Time management is good.
  • There is proficient skill in the use of digital technology or ICT in the presentation.
  • There are proficient communication skills.
  • There is a good level of care in the presentation of the research and planning.
Level 4 16-20 marks
    • Planning and research evidence will be complete and detailed.
    • There is excellent research into similar products and a potential target audience.
    • There is excellent work on shotlists, layouts, drafting, scripting or storyboarding.
    • There is excellent organisation of actors, locations, costumes or props.
    • Time management is excellent.
    • There is excellent skill in the use of digital technology or ICT in the presentation.
    • There are excellent communication skills.
    • There is an excellent level of care in the presentation of the research and planning.
STUDENT ONE:

This is the work of a fellow student in my class achieving the level 4 standard in the mark scheme (around 16-20 marks). Below, I have screenshot some of their work and annotated with some comments on things I identified as being really well done. The research is thorough, and then applied to their idea of how they've decided to use use sound in their work. They have also included examples of what they will use when editing, such as the foley sound heartbeat. I think that they could use more imaginative ways of displaying their ideas, such as pictures & examples of what they want it to look like in editing. Or perhaps the original plans in mind maps to show the progression of their ideas. Overall, I would give them a level 4 because it displays lots of research evidence, excellent organisation and presentation, and a excellent skill in the use of digital technology or ICT.

 STUDENT TWO:

 The second student has completed a blog post based on the poster ancillary task, to recreate a the artist, Rihanna's poster cover art. Due to a number of factors, I would give this a level 3 (around 12-15 marks) because it doesn't reach the band 4 level. I think that the planning and research evidence is be complete, but could have been better researched or more written about the process. There is also proficient research into similar products but no written work on the target audience or background work on the design itself. However, there are lots of pictures showing the original, and the process of the make-up, but could have showed the editing process through some screenshots i.e photoshop.

Post 33: PLANNING: Editing

EDITING Our editing style, we know already, we plan to be slow and not heavily edited in port-production with long takes that can really take in the story, to fit the more sombre tone of the song, rather than be heavily edited with lots of cuts that can come out as jumpy and fast. We also want to focus on the sisters, so the cameras will often be rolling for a longer time on the sisters and their movement and not just just on and off for certain shots that are pieced together later to make the story. Below is an example of one longer shot that we could use, instead of lots of little ones, when shooting in the car moving from one sister across to the other: NARRATIVE: Above is a video I found on YouTube roughly describing what narrative is. It helped me understand the meaning of narrative and how it is used.  LINEAR NARRATIVE  -  Linear narratives  present stories in a logical manner by telling what happens from one point in time to the next withou...

Post 55: EVALUATION Q.3

Q.3 WHAT HAVE YOU LEARNED FROM YOUR AUDIENCE FEEDBACK? Firstly, here is my plan for answering Evaluation Question 3:  THE QUESTIONNAIRE: Some answers from three different people taken verbally after they have watched the music video and looked at the ancillary tasks, (the poster and the Digi-Pak): Then, I asked one woman aged 51+ and two boys aged 17 to answer it. Here were their responses:  - woman (purple pen) - boys (black pen) - A video we created taking some more answers: What have I learnt from my audience feedback? To gain feedback I wanted to specifically talk to people who were part of my target audience, which was younger people, but I also spoke to few people from an older generation to make sure it was inclusive. I did this by showing people my music video on youtube and then printing out my digi-pak and poster and presented them in the interview. I then asked them questions in a discussion or intervie...

Post 6: Key Music Videos Timeline

POST 6: PRACTICE TASK - KEY MUSIC VIDEOS TIMELINE    This research is to discover the key turning points in music videos in the last century leading up until now. Before we started, the only inclination we had was that Michael Jackson's Thriller music video was important and was a major turning point with creating a storyline with the music video so it was interesting for all of us to see where it originally came from and who influenced the creation of music videos all of the world.  Our online presentation for the Key Music Video Timeline can be found: HERE.
