The Evaluation questions are as follows:

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

    Discuss the influence of other forms and types of media products. Explain how you have used them, changed and manipulated them for your own video. Discuss the ways in which your video is like a real music video of a particular genre - i.e. what shot types, camerawork, editing style, mise-en-scene, plot, characters, etc have you used that are conventional of your music genre?
  2. How effective is the combination of your main product and ancillary texts?

    The ancillary text is your digipak and advert or website. You should describe the research into your genre and how you decided to make the design decisions you did. You should also discuss how your work on these media texts informed your production of the music video.
  3. What have you learned from your audience feedback?

    You could refer to your questionnaire, but try to be more creative than that! Film your friends or the class discussing their feelings about music videos or their expectations of your video. Then do the same to capture their reaction to your video after viewing it. This can also be posted on your blog.
  4. How did you use media technologies in the construction and research, planning and evaluation stages?

    Discuss in detail all the different forms of media you have used throughout AS and A2 coursework. This can include:
    <> The filming equipment (cameras, tripods, lighting kit, green screen)
    <> The editing software: either Final Cut Pro or Adobe CS4
    <> Other software: InDesign, Photoshop, Quark, Word
    <> Your blog: everything that went into its creation and maintenance.
    <> YouTube, other videos, music, etc.
    With each one, you should discuss how these different forms of media have added to your production, how they have allowed you to create professional and high quality media texts and what you have learned in the process.


Coursework Evaluation

The A02 criteria assesses your application of knowledge and understanding in evaluation your own work, showing how meanings and responses are created.This unit requires me to engage with contemporary media techniques, giving me the opportunity to develop my own skills in these technologies. It also enables me to develop the skills of presentation that are required for further study at higher levels and in the workplace. My coursework evaluation requires me to reflect upon the creative process and my experience of it. My evaluation is guided by the set of key questions below. The evaluation should be presented electronically and will be linked to your blog.

Examples of suitable formats for the evaluation are:

- A podcast
- DVD extras
- A blog
-A Powerpoint

In all cases, you are discouraged from seeing the evaluation as simply a written essay and the potential of the format chosen should be exploited through the use of images, audio, videos and links to online resources. I should be able to elaborate verbally when presenting this to the class.

Final Music Video Project

I've finally finished my Music Video Project after 2 and a half months of editing and 5 to 6 months footage. I've worked hard to overcome challenges such as the suitable color for each scene, the change of cut according to the beat of the song, the camera movement improvements, and all the rest. Every day since I started editing I've tried to edit my A2 Music Video even for only 30 minutes,  trying to improve it as much as possible.
