Evaluation checklist

I will be using the above checklist to monitor your progress in answering the four evaluation questions.
Mrs S

Evaluation Questions deadline 4th April

The four questions that must be addressed in the evaluation are:

• In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?

• How effective is the combination of your main product and ancillary texts?

• What have you learned from your audience feedback?

• How did you use media technologies in the construction and research, planning and evaluation stages? 

Please ensure the four different questions are answered using different methods such as:

• a blogpost
• Prezi/powerpoint
• DVD extras
• Website
• You tube post
• Podcast

10 days to go!!!

With only 10 days to go until all practical work needs to be complete, you should be working your little socks off!
Remember after production is finished we need to move on to evaluation!
Work incredibly hard please!
Mrs S

Progress!

Well done to those of you who are making good progress to finishing your filming, starting editing, and making good headway on compiling your advert and CD packaging.
17th March is your deadline!!
Mrs S

Use of lesson time!

Lesson time should now only be spent on editing your music videos and creating your CD packaging and magazine adverts using Photoshop and inDesign.
By Monday 17th March all filming, editing and final touches to your music videos, CD packaging and magazine adverts should be complete. The final 2-3 weeks before the Easter holidays will be spent answering the evaluation questions.
Your coursework will be marked over the Easter holidays and moderated on 22nd April.
Any students behind by the end of next week will be kept in school in their own time.

Up to date 3rd Feb?

Are you up to date to begin filming 31st January?

You'll notice that I'm now including the production checklist. At this stage we ALL should have moved onto production and have completed the research and planning stage. Well done George and Annabel for hitting deadlines. As for the rest of you...

27th January Are you up to date?

Get on with it!!

Magazine advert and CD Packaging audience testing

After you have finished your drafts/rough cuts please upload these for audience testing and get feedback to enable you to redraft for your real products.
As with your iMovie rough cut, post your Magazine advert and CD packaging on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram or even youtube to get audience feedback.

Put a screenshot of the audience feedback and then evaluate what you need to change regarding your drafts/rough cuts in order to improve your final products.

CD and Magazine Layout

For this task you need to mock up a draft version/rough version of your magazine advert and your CD packaging using Photoshop and Pages/inDesign. Please use mock up photos using real images if possible. If you haven't got around to that stage yet, then use images from the internet.

Photoshop and Pages/InDesign Learning

You need to create two separate posts explaining what you have learnt using Photoshop and Pages or inDesign. Just like your post on iMovie, you need to add screenshots to outline what you have learnt and why you are using particular effects for your products.

Make sure that you watch:
