This is the final draft of our DVD cover. I feel that it is eye catching and will suit the purpose of relating to the target audience with the shot glasses on the back with the track listsings to make sure that those who are buying the DVD know that it is a music DVD that they are buying and not a normal film on DVD.
this is what our second draft of our dvd cover looked like...
Danny showed basic reseacrh into similar media texts on his blog. He had a distinct lack of images and video embedded onto his blog. There is evidence of a storyboard and timeline which formed part of the planning of his music video. There is a thorough analysis of 'the kill' video however this is not comparable to the final piece. Danny's time management was not particularly good and he needs to work on communicating with other members of the group.
ReplyDeleteThere is evidence of basic creative use of technical skills in the main task. There are a variety of camera angles and shot types, including over the shoulder shots and extreme closeups. Framing is not always proficient, especially towards the start of the video. The editing is precise, with quick cuts that are intime with the music bed. Meaning is apparent to the viewer and special effects have been used appropriately for the task. The selection of m-e-s is interesting, especially how the lyrics 'no, no, no' have been highlighted. Some of the shots are a little shaky, especially those that focus on the newspaper cutting and the post it note. There maybe a slight over-use of special effects towards the end of the video. There was a difference of opinion within the group regarding the production of the Subsidiary texts and so there are two examples. The DVD cover was agreed witin the group and there is evidence of profiency through the appropriate use of IT and understanding of layout and design. The picture of the eye was taken and edited by the group and is very successful. The chosen font is also appropriate. Unfortunately, Danny did not contribute or communicate to a proficient level himself. He was very much carried by two members of the group with regards to the video task, hence the low grade. He did however put in a good deal of effort to the printed texts, working well with Jamie in planning ideas.
