Formally signing off! 

Final Progress Review Blog !

I believe that this year I have improved greatly. I think that this year I have used a wide range of variety that I have become confident with. I have also been exposed to new software. The level of detail in my blog has increased as I tend to do my research now. Whereas last year the variety of I.C.T and detail used was limited.

My blog effectively shows all aspects of research, planning and production of my advance portfolio.This is effect because at every stage of the process I have provided plans and research.

I will admit there are gaps between my blogs quite often which I was attempting to avoid. Thats one thing if given the opportunity to change and this could be improved if I managed my time better.

Evaluation- Question 4

What have you learned from your audience feedback?

EVALUATION - QUESTION 4

Question 4 

What have you learned from your audience feedback?

Over the period of making the music video and our ancillary work, we asked for feedback at almost every point of the way. We asked for feedback even before we started planning things like location and what we thought our target audience would want to see in a video. 

I've learnt that its essential to get feedback from our target audience because its our target audience that our media products are aimed at.

We got thorough feedback from our media teachers and our target audience for the rough cut and without the feedback our music video would have gone against the conventions of  a music video as it didn't have continuity editing. It made us look at our media product in a different light as after the feedback we had to go back and refilm at some of the locations. If we hadn't got feedback for our 'still chorus' then we wouldn't have filmed again at the kings cross fountain and lost marks for having a still chorus that isn't engaging with the audience due to it being too dark and the artists too far from the camera. 

After asking for feedback after the screening, we asked for feedback on twitter where it was easy to reach our target audience.

Although this made me look at my work in a different way because i could have used the colors black and white for synergy because we wear those colors a lot in the video.

Click here for teachers feedback from rough cut - from the teachers feedback we saw how an older target audience would see our music video and what they thought of it. We often got that the concept was good/nice as it was clear and concise through filming and thorugh the lyrics.

Final Progress Review Blog

I know that from my AS year I've learned a lot and to be honest I wouldn't really change anything because I am really happy with my work but I would probably like to blog on time and not leave it until the last minute but i feel I've improved since our music video deadline. So everything is now good I hope. In terms of  individual posts I have made  54 out of my  88  blogs. Which i think is fairly good compared to last year.



What helped me through my whole journey :)

Audience feedback on ancillary products

Audience feedback on music video

This Abida who didn't get a chance to feedback on my music video giving me feedback because she felt like this was one of the videos that caught her eye and she was also one of the people who said that we looked like we had a lot of fun so I'm quite happy about it.
