Final Progress Review Blog
How does my A2 blog compare with your AS in terms of detail and use of ICT?
My blogging has developed since last year, I believe there is an increase in the number of blogs produced in comparison to last year and there is an improvement in the content of the blog. I have written detailed blogs covering all the points I need to and only including information which is necessary. Furthermore my use of ICT has expanded, coming across new websites to present my information also makes blogging more interesting. Websites such as Slide, murally, thinglink and Emaze have made blogging more enjoyable.
How effectively does the blog show all aspects of the research, planning and production of your advanced portfolio?
From the beginning of my blog I have tried to be very consistent with keeping on top of my blogging checklist. Although all three, planning, research and production has been presented in my blogs, I wish I would of made the process more interesting portraying the process of planning, research and production as if a journey. In my opinion the process of research was carried out very well, looking back at the pitch presentation a lot of research regarding our preferred target audience and mise-en-scene ideas were being constructed. In this regard my research presents a clear picture of what we have in mind for our audience and the portrayal of our artists.
Conclusion
However I have failed to post some important blogs, which may have helped me to perform better such as blog checks. Taking time out to reflect on my work and to identify areas in which I can improve the standard of my blogs may have changed my approach to future blogs.
Individually I have produced approximately 54 blogs, in order to increase this I could have reflected on my work more frequently and carried additional research to find more blogs to create.

Evaluation Question 4 - Joshua Spence
Feedback from Unfinished Music Video
Looking back at the editing process, when we carried out feedback on our unfinished music video we received a comment about a significant scene in our video. One person suggested that we should not leave the camera facing the sky to long when switching the clothing from white to black, she said "we should make it a bit more smoother or faster" this was very helpful feedback because this scene is a pivotal point in the song in which it climaxes therefore we do not want to loose momentum by keeping the audience waiting to long, but we aim to add emphasis tot he climax. This feedback was taken on board and we made the correct adjustments as a group until we were happy with the outcome. The feedback received was very important because the majority of the people offering feedback would be categorised as our target audience, and it is great to give them what they want to see in our music video.
Feedback after cinema viewing
After listening and asking questions about our music video, I gathered that the general feedback was very positive. We came across the same girl who said that the camera was tilted upwards to long. She was delighted that we acted upon her feedback and made the camera drop faster.
Also based on the number of comments about the great transitions made between scenes, I believe that we could have added more transitions to excite our audience. Furthermore reflecting on the feedback we could have the artist less static within the narrative scenes, allowing for more variety in camera shots, for example in the graveyard scene we could have recorded our artist walking and rapping to the graveyard providing opportunities to experiment with different camera shots.
Overall if we were to add any more effects or transitions it may appear over-edited this may cause the meaning of the narrative to be lost or become unrecognisable. I think there is always room for improvement which leads me to believe that the narratives could have been developed further to be more impacting on our audience, although our feedback suggests that our audience was happy with the current narrative and performances.
