Last post

I'm writing this feeling really relaxed and kind of happy but sad at the same time. I will dearly be missing blogger even though i did have some stressful times and sleepless nights, staying up and blogging. But I am relieved that the stress and sleepless nights will now be over. Its been such a great and a good experiencing journey for me and my group 2 (Me, AmaL, Farheen and Kavita) I will be missing working with this group and I really loved the joy it bought to me and i couldn't have done it without my group members. Its so sad to have to leave blogger knowing that I've been working on it from the continuation of last year. This blogger shows pretty much all the steps i took with my group throughout our journey of making the music video from and so on and so forth.  :) Bye-bye


LAST EVER POST ):

I'm actually kind of relieved to be writing this? Is that bad? 

Before i officially say bye i just want to write a message for my amazing group! Amal, Mariam and Kavita - its been wonderful working with you guys and i know at some points we had been let down by locations or even a blog but we managed to pull through it to find last minute plans! I couldn't have asked for  more supportive and hard working group that wanted to achieve the best grades and would go to the moon and back for it!

The commitment that me and my group members dedicated to media was better than i could have ever asked for. It was a blast filming with you guys everyday in the half term and pulling each others hair out in the editing suite. After all the things we've been through, it wasn't all that bad and i just want to wish you guys all the best in life!! I hope we all get great media grades and i hope you show your friends the great music video that we all made!

As this is my last ever blog post, i want to thank all of the media teachers for being so supportive and helping us through our journey! Couldn't have asked for better teachers! I hope you're proud of our media products and i hope we make it to the 'Hall of fame' . 

I also want to thank blogger for being consistent and a joy to work with.

Thank you and bye, see you on the other side. 



Formally signing off


Goodbye,

Final progress review

This year i've managed to successfully complete all my blogs that was required of me. I have progressed a lot this year and I can confidently use different softwares and apps to post on blogger. Overall I have used a variety of different ICT on my blogs. 

At the beginning I was quite slow with my blogging, however during the end I managed to improve and started to blog on time and regularly because I started to get used to blogging. I have completed my research, planning, production and evaluation stages. 

Finally I would give myself a 8 out of 10 for keeping up with my blogging tasks.
 


Evaluation- Question 4



Finally, Im very proud of the work I've created and I learnt a lot from the mistakes I've done on my ancillary work and music video.

If I could change anything from the music video, i would probably stick to a few locations because i found out from my audience feedback that people didn't understand why we chose all the these locations. Although we picked it for a valid reason, its still important that the audience could relate to the music video.

One thing I could change from my ancillary work is too make the text a bit larger. I found that most of my audience feedback commented on this.

I learnt a lot from my audience feedback and it makes me see my video and ancillary work from their perspective and although Im very proud of my work, i realise that there is certain parts i could improve on.

FINAL PROGRESS REVIEW BLOG

THE SOUND DOESN'T WORK - SCROLL DOWN TO SEE WHAT I SAID 




How does my AS blog compare to my A2 blog?

If I'm honest, i was quite proud of my AS blog because i did put a lot of effort and hard work in to it. However i think
It’s obvious to say that there was much much much (repetition intended) more research and planning involved this year. And although there were different technologies suggested to us, we had to work independently to find our own so that was different to AS because in A2 there's much more different content to blog. I discovered so many new ICT apps this year and my email is full of 'Thank you for joining .....' emails because of this coursework ): In terms of detail, i think i did go in to detail about some things in A2 because our ideas had to be explained more thoroughly because things were much more complicated, there were much more marks on the line!!


How effectively does my blog show all aspects of planning, research and production?

Well i think at the beginning i was much more consistent with blogging research blogs because thats when we were bursting with ideas. But I'm afraid to say that i do think there were gaps in my work for when we done so many things in the half term that i never found time to blog or even upload pictures of our journey. We could have showed a more in depth plan on blogger because most of the planning gets done face to face and virtually and it’s hard to document everything. 
 Production blogs were also impressive because we went to so many different locations, there was always a 'how we think it went' blog post' or something along those lines. My blog is quite effective in reflecting on my advanced portfolio due to all the reflection of progress blogs because that's when we realize what we have or still have to do. 

How many individuals posts do i have?

If i counted correctly i have 57 individual blogs out of 94 blogs (might be more if i decide to blog some more). There were loads of things we done as a group to avoid similar blog posts but i feel like i work well on my own as well as a group because we all had different opinions on how things went throughout filming and stuff.
What would you change, given another opportunity?

If I'm honest there isn't much i would change but now that i think about it.. 
I would change the song - i would have rather done a song that doesn't already have a video just so our ideas were fresh and nothing copied from the original videos
I would change it from a group to an individual artist like Jessie J because it would have been so much easier to plan costume and easier for production in terms of availability.
