Firstly Kieran, please add the 00 Teacher's Comments section and paste these into it. Please include the first post about embedding the powerpoint as well.
Task 1: Now that the powerpoint is visible I can see that you have done a good job of researching existing media and bringing the same sensibilities to the layout and design of your own production work. You have chosen a very minimalist style, which is fine for this kind of magazine and you have done it fairly well, but remember that the exam board will be more impressed with something that demonstrates more work. It will be more obvious that you have engaged more deeply with production when you are taking your own photos.
Task 2: As a group, you have taken a really wide variety of different shots and it is clear to see that you have done a lot to experiment with a variety of different lighting styles and focal lengths. This will really help you to make choices when it comes to your first mock assessed piece (the music magazine). This time, as you work on your photographs, take note of the settings that you use for iris, iso and shutter. It is very important that you develop a sense of the settings that work best for different shot types and styles so that you can plan your images carefully and identify the way that light and camera is being used in some of the productions you are using for inspiration.
All in all, very encouraging progress. As you produce your music magazine, give a little more attention to using a wider variety of sell lines and think carefully about language choices in the website and contents.
Hello Kieran,
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, I can't access your powerpoint. Please work out a better way to embed it so that I can assess your progress properly.
Thank you,
Mr. H
