Final Assessment 'RESEARCH' Oct 10th SJA

www:

- Well done for going back through teacher feedback thoroughly and investing so much energy and time in getting your Research section completed to a really high standard Brittany.
- All posts are visual, with many of an 'excellent' standard of thought, creativity in presentation and revealing excellent subject knowledge. I really like the use of very short 'extracts' from music videos, and the use of gifs throughout.
- Your analytical posts are really interesting to read, as you clearly are thinking carefully about how artists working within different genres choose to represent themselves.
- Your analysis of the audience questionnaire was excellent, and I hope the findings will be of good use in your planning.

ebi (for Planning & Evaluation Sections now):

- Time management is always going to be a key issue as the next few months progress. You are going to be really busy - that is just part of it all Brittany I'm afraid. Time management is also one of the assessment criteria for your coursework - so please set aside your free periods to use the media rooms as much as you can to get the tasks done - to a consistantly high standard.
- Always think of ways (and be prepared to allow yourself time) to really come up with creative and unique ways to present each posts - make sure you use functions like the YouTube tagging feature, or a voice over commentary to talk through any analytical posts. Use JING to 'show' technical skill - this will boost your mark in this aspect of your blog.
- Be super organised in the Planning stages of your music video now - None of your work over the coming weeks can be thrown together - you will need to storyboard, plan effectively, try out lighting, etc, etc... Always document this and keep on top of blog posts.
- You need to clearly LABEL all of your posts under 'Research' and 'Planning'

Overall mark for RESEARCH section: Level 4... there is really some excellent work here, please make sure this continues, with no inconsistency in the quality of your posts.
The 'Planning' section should give you the opportunity to really show off what you can do in terms of presentation, use of ICT, and clever, creative communication of your thoughts and ideas.
