Peer Assessment of previous and present music videos

We spent the lesson doing peer assessments. We watched a previous music video contructed by a past year group, who achieved a good level. We watched their video through and analysed what aspects and techniques worked well and what we thought could be improved.


We were then given peer assessment on our own music video. Due to weather conditions we were unable to start editing our footage. We explained to our peers what scenes we have filmed and they then gave us ideas and suggestions on how to structure our video and what editing techniques may be affective.

Work in progress and peer assessment of promotional poster



PEER EVALUATION:
- 'I like the image, I like the colour- I just think that the 'new album featuring..' font is too simple/ plain. I think the band's name should be higher up- there's a lot of space that can be filled. It's fine, otherwise.'
- 'I like the layout, but the font for the band's information could be clearer with a better font. I don't like the font used for the bands name, it doesn't seem to suit the style/ inage you're going for.'
- 'I like it, but I think maybe there should be a preview of the CD cover on the poster, so those who're interested will know what to look for.'






Work in progress of CD cover (front and back)

This is a work in progress of our Cd front and back covers. We have been using adobe photoshop to create a authentic looking CD cover. I took still images of the work we have been doing in photoshop to demonstrate our work in progress.

Feedback

Natalie, you are almost up to date with your research and planning work but you must upload your group's vox pops.
Targets: 1) ensure that you maintain a weekly running commentary of the production work progress
2) use peer and self assessment to make any improvements to the music video
3) ensure you make a contribution to the editing work.
