Signing off my blog

This is the end of my blogging process for A2. I have thoroughly enjoyed this blogging task at times and it has been a long term project which I have embraced, adding numerous blogs simply from inspiration and ideas, which I found quite fun. All in all it was very enjoyable.

Coursework signing off

I have found A2 media coursework more challenging than AS but hopefully I have done enough to gain a good grade overall!
Bye :)

Final review blog

Evaluation: Question 4

Evaluation : Question 4

What have you learned from your audience feedback ? 

Overall the feedback that I got from the audience were positive. When my music video was played in the cinema, the immediate reaction from the audience was positive. Throughout the editing process of the music video the continuous feedback that was given is that we needed to cut more whilst editing and have more varied shots, this is what noticed when I got feedback from any part of filming the video and also part of the editing too. 

The screenshot above is feedback which was given from the teacher about our rough cut. The teacher said that she liked the 'realness' of the music video compared to the studio shorts but the music video needed to pick up the pace for it to be more faster. I agreed with this as I thought back at the rough cut stage the video did lack pace and was rather slow, I also did agree with the statement of the the outside shots were better than the studio shorts, I believed this was because of the lighting in the studio compared to the lighting whilst I filmed outside, the lighting in the studio made the video lack professionalism compared to the studio shots.

The scrren shot above feedback from a student. The student said that he liked the slow motion effect on the artists hands which were used and the location of where the music video was filmed. I agree that the  slow motion effect on the artist hand in the beginning of the music video was effective, it made the video seem more effective and professional. I think as that effect was used it gave a strong opening to the music video and would attract the audience. I also think that where the filming took place was also very effective. I learnt from the feedback that more cuts were needed to make the video run more smoothly . 

Close of my blog

I am glad that this cousework is finally over as I think it was stressful and tiresome, however I am glad of the final outcome and how far I have gone and what I have produced. I want to thank all the teachers and my group for all their help and commitment. Hopefully I get the grade that I think I deserve

Final Progress Review

Personally I think that my AS blog has more use of ICT than A2, however I feel that I have developed my skills and knowledge within the use of ICT in A2. I feel that my blog shows that I have deeply researched into my music video and ancillary work, however I must be honest and say that I could have been more dedicated and shown extra research and planning as there was a little bit of a gap in my blogging which was my vlogs showing my progression, as well as some blogs not being in order. I am not intientirely sure of the exact amount of blod i produce indiviually. If I could change something about my blogging it would be me being more dedicated to blogging by doing extra blogging and not leaving gaps within my bloggng.
