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).

Evaluation questions

On Wednesday's lesson (10.02.10), we will be looking at how to respond to the evaluation questions.

Here they are, for you to look at and consider in preparation:

In the evaluation the following questions must be answered: 

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

Extended deadline: 9am, Wed 10th Feb

Absent: sk, fs:

Given that we want to do this well, here is what needs to happen now that you have had some feedback:

1. Upload your research on DVD covers and music magazines (for the advert)

2. Complete DVD covers and DVD adverts and upload to blog

3. Explain how your items fit in with the whole promo package. Consider ANGRILI, specifically looking at Institution, Representation, Genre and Audience. You have to be able to explain and justify, with supporting evidence, how your products fit these areas. Use real/existing media to form your comparison. Avoid generalised comments. This also needs to be on your blog.

The extended deadline now stands at 9am, Wed 10th Feb.
