Feedback

Early in the year I was given Feedback on my pitch.

Class mate 1: I really like the concept of the trailer along with the idea and like the cancer twist it has.
Class mate 2: I like the idea for the film it seems to be very devolped so will have a lot of ideas what to include in the trailer. Looking at insperational texts really helped her devolp her story and her ideas.
Class mate 3: I like the idea its very unique and interesting. Well thought through and the insperations link in well with her idea. Good music choices because they reflect the theme of the trailer.
Class mate 4: It looks like its aimed at only female. Its sounds very dramaitc which is good thing and the music choices will have good impact on the trailer.

Teacher Feedback

My teach said my idea is very well thought out and sounds like it has good potenial. He said I have researched my insperations well and took into consider the similar things from these which i would like to include in my trailer. My teacher wrote some questions for my to answer after watching my pitch so underneath is the questions and answers.

My friend gave my somefeedback on my film poster  and magazine and she felt about being the model so i videoed her and posted it below.

Reflection on Last Years Performance

Over the last year my progress has improved majorly and this is reflected in my work. I have came up with a list of things which demonstrates this and expalined why I feel I have improved on that area.
 
Quality of images


The quality of images I have used in my product has improved highly in the second year of my media course. Looking back at last year (first picture, left) you can see it doesn't look half as professional and has good quaility of the this years images (second picture,right). This was down to lack off equipement and resources. In the firsr year I had little knowledge of how I wanted my images to look and how to take a good image. I also used a basic digital camera and a white wall im my house. This doesn't even comapre to this year where I used a professioanl photography studio and camera. This year I also had a large idea of how I wanted my images to look and this was reflected in the quality of images I came out with.
Magazine Front Covers

 

This year I learnt that less is more when creating a magazine. I also had a lot more knowledge of what a magazine layout included and how it looks and that you didnt need a lot on your magazine for it to look professional. Comparing this years product to last years, I feel that personally this years looks miles more professional and I could see more chance of it been sold in a shop. I looked at many insperational texts in order to help create my product this year which gave me many ideas of what I wanted my magazine to look like, this is something I didnt do last year. I would also like to compare the font usage on my first yeras work compared to the second. In the first year I thought including more different styles would make my product look better when infact now I realise it looks like a lot to read and take it and would probably have looked better with less.
