Evaluation-28/1/2010

Today I underwent the final part of my A2 Advanced Portfolio in terms of creating a music video and ancillary texts by having a live evaluation filmed in class. The purpose of this was to evaluate all the work I have done since the start of term in September 2009 and how I felt I "used, developed or challenged" the forms of real media products.
This included the creation of:
  • A music video
  • An album cover (front and back)
  • A DVD Digipak
  • A magazine advert.

I then had to discuss how effective I felt the combination was between my main product (the music video) and the ancillary texts. I also had to evaluate what I thought of my audience feedback after they had watched my music video and what I have learnt from that. I then had to comment on what new Media Technologies I have used during the creation of the above products. The new Media Technologies used in the planning and research stages were:

The new Media Technologies used in the consturction stages were:

  • Camcorder (to film my music video) along with DV Tapes to film the footage on
  • Camera (to take photos of the filming set)
  • Final Cut Pro (editing software which i edited all my footage on
  • Uploaded CD Track (for music video and editing purposes)
  • Photoshop (to construct the print artefacts e.g album cover, magazine advert)

The new Media Technologies used in the evaluation stages were:

  • Camcorder (to film the evaluation)
  • Blogger (to refer to the work I have done on my blog during the evaluation.

Overall I think that my evaluation went very well and I managed to get across all the main points that I wanted. After discussions with my teacher, it was confirmed I would be allowed to use my blog on screen to show how I have developed things such as my ancillary texts. I managed to stay quite calm whilst being filmed and think that I handled the situation well. The Evaluation stage is only a small addition to my overall grade but even so I am confident that I did well today.
