HL and Evaluation questions 1+2 guidelines

Over the holidays:

1. Complete questions 1+2 for evaluations (guidelines to be issued in lesson). Upload to blogs under correct title.
2. Update and tidy up blogs, making sure all fonts are readable and all post titles are valid (no gaps or cheating!)
3. Start collecting feedback from your music videos by:
- Speaking to your band/artist
- using FB, myspace and other web 2.0 sites to gather evidence of the responses to your video
- Analysing the effectiveness of youtube by reviewing your views, ratings, tags and comments. (click on the 'Statistics and Data' tab - really useful information about where your views have come from!)

Deadline for this work: Wed 24th Feb. 9am.

After the holidays we will work through questions 3 and 4, and hopefully have a screening and performance at the Blue Walnut Cafe on 5th March (please support Sam and Rachel in making this happen).

  2. Hi Phil

    With your first question:
    - Strengthen explanation of existing conventions of performance rock/metal vidos. Briefly explain typical technical features.
    - With analysis of your video, extend by commenting on editing structure eg, CU of guitar on solo, use of opening shot to establish setting and narrative, final shot as being crucial to final image/rep of band to potential audience

    With your second question:
    - Include a jpeg of your DVD cover
    - use the term 'house style' to explain the consistency between your products
    - Consider how effective your products are in terms of potential record label response (see Roadrunner Records as a comparison) and also the band response (ask your bruiser friends!)

    This will enhance your work. Looking good so far though.
