Things that went wrong!

Throughout the course of recording as the artist I didn't actually know all of the lyrics, it was a struggle because the song is recorded at such a fast pace learning the lyrics did seem like it was going to be an obstacle, when it came to editing, there were various shots that we did want to use, but due to the fact that I did not know the Lyrics them shots could not have been used, however as we went out more and listened to the song a lot more, I have learnt the whole song in a matter of weeks which was a plus as it helped our filming and editing run smoothly.

Reflection On Progress

"I ought to improve my quality of work and need to use more media terminology. I need to do my work quickly yet efficiently, and I need to improve my time keeping skills."
 I gave myself a 10/20.
These are the three improvements I gave myself at the beginning of this term. I would say I have improved my quality of work and have tried to refer to media terminology when blogging. I have also been using less pictures in my blogs like I did in the AS year as Dan made a point of not posting irrelevant photo's that does not necessarily relate to the blogs being written, which is true. I'd say I am 50/50 when it comes to doing my work quickly and efficiently, I should make an effort to do blogs the day I get them, instead of letting it pile up. My time improvement skills have improved as I feel my blogs are quantitative and I have the right amount of blogs, hopefully my blogs are now on a B.
I would give myself a 13/20.

Rough cut feedback - peers

Here we can see Lenya asking fellow media classmates about their opinions on our video. We chose to interview Devon and Daniel as tthey are both male and as our music video is male dominated we were mainly trying to appeal to teenage males from the of 15+. Devon and Daniel are both 17-18. They were asked a series of questions, including what they feel we could do better. Both of the guys agreed that they did not like the footage of Stephane infront of the projector, due to this we have decided to remove it as we want our video to be the best it can be and as these boys are our target audience, we took their opinions on board. Recieveing feedback from target audiences is really beneficial when it comes to media, as it gives us an all round perspective of what we can do better to appeal to our audience, it is also nice to hear positive feeback, as we want to please our audience also.

Brief points/opinions:

• Don't use projector
• Like range of base tracks
• Like range of outfit changes
