Deadlines and work ahead

Can I please urge you to use your Assessment Booklet to remind yourselves of deadlines (though some are slightly extended) and start on your Evaluation questions, particularly Question 1.

Deadlines:

By the end of this week : Deadline Final Cut of Music Video.

However in the light of the fact that some groups have had to reshoot, we are extending this to next Tuesday (23rd November) - video exported by 5pm and embedded as an mp4 (or .mov) on your blog.

Please keep in mind that the first lesson will not be in the pod as we will look at magazine adverts and how to tackle the second Evaluation Question.

Deadline Ancillary products - Tuesday 30th November (slightly extended)

Deadline Evaluation / Coursework (ready for moderation and assessment the following week):

Sunday 5th December - 10pm.

You can (should) get started on your Evaluation now.

Evaluation Question 1 - In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products.

See booklet for first task and students' examples. Nine frames with comments.

Additionally complete an analysis of your video using the double-sided sheet distributed in class (using Goodwin on one side, Vernallis on the other).

Other questions to start thinking about:

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

3. What have you learned from your audience feedback?

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