Using Prezi and other technology

Hi!  Here is a quick Prezi suggesting different ways you can work through your evaluation questions.  There are some excellent media blogs out there, so you need to make your stand out!

Questions for your Evaluation

There are only four questions for the A2 evaluation but you will need to reflect further on your practical work as part of your final exam. You can answer these questions on your blog using video or ppt or you can create a dvd commentary. I will hand these out during another lesson with a few pointers on how to answer them but for anyone eager to get started, here they are:

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 media technologies in the construction and research, planning and evaluation stages?

This is a great video about how to light your shots simply using household objects. Definately worth a watch!

Your work so far...

There are some really good looking blogs coming together already - I'm impressed by the amount of work being done - keep it up! Each blog looks different and you are all adding different posts which is really good - it means you're thinking carefully about your own project and making this work your own.

Do make sure you respond to the feedback given on the sheet earlier this week and keep doing what you're doing - I'm pleased.

Big shiny gold stars all round :)

Great blogging so far!

Some really good blogging so far - well done! I've added a few comments to posts but also mentioned a few things to you in class, so please make sure you act on those comments.

More research and planning next week - time to start storyboarding for some!

Blogs so far

Some really good blogging so far. Everyone is at different stages, so make sure you keep up to date by following your action plan carefully (some of you need a little more detail in your action plans!) Make sure you evidence everything that you are doing at the moment by blogging regularly and if you have already decided upon your song, don't waste time, get on and storyboard!

Lesson follow up

Another Fat Boy Slim video directed by Spike Jonze. Once again concept based and with plenty of humour. Here the director plays the role of the dance troop leader (he's the one you can see really going for it!) and of course, Fat Boy Slim makes a cameo appearance.
