Assessment 'RESEARCH' SJA 03/10/11

www:

I've looked right back through your blog and there is some evidence of thoughtful work and effort Ryan (especially in earlier posts). Your analysis of 3 Pop and 3 Rock videos were good and show the kinds of standards you are capable of achieving (although just using contact sheets and whole length You Tube clips do not really push the medium of a blog to full potential...)


ebi:

Overall, really disappointing to open up your blog and see so much work missing Ryan.
Post 1 - Brief missing??
Post 8 -Conventions of a music video - no visuals? No effort demonstrated?
Post 9-11 - Theories - all missing???
Post 12 - Low Budget - only one entry (meant to be two) - dull, no creativity in use of blog, overly simplistic vague comments / analysis - not a Year 13 standard...
Post 13 - Mood Board - needs written paragraph to explain how artists from within that genre wish to be represented
Post 14 - Genre research - only 3?? Meant to be 5... I would go back into the posts Jack and Nathan created if I were you, as they are vague and overly simplisitic - I wouldn't submit these towards my own mark without improvements...
Post 15 - Genre research / Conventions - just OK...
Post 16 - Analysis of 3 x CD covers - only one done??
Post 17 - Record label research - Re-do the entry on 679 Artist - as this is so clearly copy and paste - Plagiarism - make this your own work
Post 18 - Advert research - one only - meant to be 3???
Posts 19-20 - Audience research - where is survey? Where are your results?

Make sure all posts in this section are under the label 'Research'

Overall: UN - UNSATISFACTORY (referral) Both Ms Ingram and myself have made it very clear you are underperforming - you know what you need to do. I feel as though I have just spent more time giving you feedback than you have done to bother to complete the work Ryan. Sort yourself out, as this is simply not good enough if you hope to stay on our A2 course.

You have until Friday 7th Oct to COMPLETE this Ryan - final grade given then with no further opportunity after this date.
