Task 2 - Research into previous student review - "Ashufta Shah"

Research:

• Lots of detailed research showing theories and also research into specific music genres that the candidate feel their final production will include.
• Uses lots of different media formats to make the blog look more exciting and interesting. For example, the use of text, images, youtube clips and slide shares.
• No negative weaknesses could be identified

Planning:

• Lots of photos added to show behind the scenes of how both the preliminary and final production were run. Additional photos of the brainstorming were added to show all stages of the planning process
• In some of the planning pictures the writing on some of the sheets is hard to read

Music Video: 

• Idea seems professional and some of the intended effects were captured well.
• Some of the camera work seems shaky and doesn't run very smoothly.

Digipack

• Good editing and black and white picture gives it an urban, 'creepy' feel
• Very professional
• Not sure how the picture of the woman relates to the narrative of the video

Magazine Advert 

• Editing in black and white links well with the Digipak 
• Good picture with the cigarette in focus and the woman out of focus
• Doesn't really seem to link with the video/music

Evaluation

• Good use of Prezi, Slideshare and videos to evaluate the video and interest the viewer
• Blogs are again well written with little or no mistakes 
• Could have maybe added more analysis of ancillary texts
