Research:
Strengths
- Another strength of the research section of the blog, was the idea that they used different formats to present the information that was collected. By doing this it makes the blog more interesting to look at, and draws more people to read the information that has been found. As well as this it allows a more creative side to be shown on the blog. This is something that is going to be taken into account when I am creating my posts as I feel that it can be very repetitive looking if it is all written blog posts.
- A lot of time and effort has been spent on the research, which is showing that it is a lot better to have more information about what is being created rather than not having enough. This suggests that when doing my research, detail is something that needs to be considered but I need to avoid irrelevant information as it may be a waste of research time, and may never get used.
- Another strength of the research for the blog is the way that the posts are neatly presented. This makes it easier for the person viewing the blog to understand what they are writing about. This is something that should be done on my blog as it benefits myself as it makes it easier to understand what has been done and makes it easier for the reader.
Weaknesses
- Looking at the research section of the blog, a few of the posts were just blocks of text. This is a weakness because this information is not attracting the eye to look at and it read, it just shows that they are able to write a lot.
Planning:
Strengths
- A strength of the planning is the amount of images that have been used. This is a benefit as it means that they can easily see what they are planning to do, and it makes the ideas become more realistic
- Another strength of the planning, is the amount of detail put into the planning. The planning was kept to what was necessary and what was going to be needed to help create the best video possible.
Weaknesses
- One thing that could be improved with the planning, is the amount of detail put into posts. Some posts only have images, which makes it easier to visually see what is happening, however if someone else was to look at there blog, it may make it harder for them to understand what is happening.
Music Video:
Strengths
- One good thing about the video is the variation of shot types. The shot types were varied between close ups, mid shots and long shots. The variation of shots made the video flow a lot better and makes the video look seamless
- Another strength of the video is that the shots were well thought out and you can see that they put a lot of time and effort into creating the video
- The lip syncing is another strength of the video as they have managed to put the video and song in time with one another. This is a benefit as it makes the video look realistic, and makes the video look a lot professional as the timings are together
Weaknesses:
- One weakness of the video is the type of clips that have been included. A couple of the clips seemed a bit cheesy and weren't needed for the video, and other clips got repeated a few times. This is something that I am going to try and avoid in my music video as it may make people loose interest at some points.
Digipak:
Strengths
- The white font that has been used, benefits the digipak that has been created as it stands out on the black background. This adds a professional feel to what has been created, as the colours that have been used are typically seen.
- Another strength of the digipak is the images. The images that have been used look to have been well thought out and look as if they were taken with a lot of thought and precision to get a seamless look with the photos.
- The digipak created looks well put together, and precise with the placing of the images and text. This looks as if nothing is out of place as it has faultless finish
- One weakness of what has been created is the idea that the images used are all very similar to one another, there is not much variation between them.
Magazine Advert:
Strengths
- The images that have been used are good quality, and brings a finer finish to the magazine. This suggests that when creating my magazine, the images make a big different to how the final product will look, this means that I need to make sure that the quality of images are to a good standard before using them. To get the perfect pictures, it could take a while but will be worth it in the end to give a nicer look to the magazine.
- Another strength of the magazine is the variety of fonts used. The use of different fonts makes the magazine more interesting to look at. As well as making the appearance of the magazine gripping and captivating to the human eye.
- One weakness of the magazine is the use of colours. On the magazine there is only two colours used, which is black and white. This seems to look very basic and does not make the image as easily remembered as it would with a splash of colour.
Strengths
- One strength of the evaluation is the creativity when it came to each question. When doing the evaluation each question has been presented on a different multi-media format, instead of the simple text posts. This is something that I am going to be taking into account when doing my evaluation as it is showing that they are able to present there ideas and thoughts in an artistic way, and can keep the creativity going throughout their blog.
- Another strength of the evaluation is the amount of detail that has been put into each question. They made sure that they included every detail needed for that question, to ensure that it has been fully answered.
The key things that I have learnt from looking at this blog is:
- The more research, the better as it will make it a lot easier to come up with an idea for my own music video
- In the music video add as many different shots as possible, otherwise it will get very repetitive and boring
- The quality of the shots and images for the music video, digipak and magazine make a big difference to the final product.
