Planning posts - checking your progress Oct 16th SJA

WWW:


- Katie, I genuinely really enjoy looking over your blog and seeing your brilliant ideas for the posts.
- I thought your idea for the 'Lyrics Annotation' was really creative and imaginative - keep up this sort of appraoch for each post. It was excellent!
- Excellent work also on 'Concepts' post - very well thought through, genuine interest in your task really shines through on this post
- Your posts on 'Roles' and the 'Image Annotation' where you explain Paloma Faith in terms of a combination between Amy Winehouse and Duffy was really impressive.

EBI:


- Improve your 'Technical Tutorials' posts by providing a written (or verbal) explanation of how you used the green screen and final cut - and your thoughts about how you could include these in to your own music video
- Likewise with the CD cover design post (when you compelte it). I've seen a brilliant image of Kayleigh with her head resting on an open book that your group worked on with photoshop last week. It's a grerat image and really shows your group's understanding of what makes an effective promotional image - again you need written explanation about what you did, why you chose that image, and how it works for your genre...


Overall assessment of 'Planning' so far: VG (Very Good) - I've marked all posts as 'Excellent' so far, apart from the 'Technical Tutorials' which needs improving - and the missing CD Cover photoshop practice needs including in your blog.

To reach the top of Level 4 (which is what you are certainly aiming for) you need to contiue to show your excellent grasp of creativity, innovation, imagination and ICT technical flair for every post. The 'Planning' section of your blog really should provide you with loads of opportunities to demonstrate all of these things. Well done so far Katie. Your hard work on this will certainly pay off. You and your group have selected a great track from a really interesting artist in Paloma Faith, and it should give you lots to experiment with in terms of mise-en-scene and representation. I am really looking forward to seeing what your group comes up with.
