Tom, I know you spoke to me about the pressure you are under this week with deadlines. Thank you for at least being up front and telling me on Friday.
Can I ask that you please try to forward me your ideas for your evaluation posts (even some bullet points via an email so I can feel that you are actually thinking about it) by the end of this week.
Ms Ingram and I have been really pleased with you this year, and we really want you to do well. it's crucial now that you stay on top of deadlines and start developing your evaluation ideas into actual posts that we can check, feedback on and help you to develop.

Planning posts - checking your progress Oct 16th SJA
www:
- The planning posts that are there show imaginative efforts with ICT to present and communicate ideas.
- The use of shot iMovies to communicate your 'initial ideas' and your 'job roles' is really effective
- I thought your practice advert on photoshop looked really good - simple idea with use of yellow against greys - works well for your genre
- Too mnay posts missing Tom - I know your group struggled to agree with a song choice - but you have arrived at one know - so you need to be busy catching up on the missed posts
- If you are going to include lots of short filmed piecves to camera to talk through your ideas / roles, etc. - make sure you use a tripod to avoid unsteady shots and show technical skill / understanding throughout you work.
- Where is your photoshop work for the CD cover planning / ideas? This needs to be there.

Assessment 10th October 2011 JIN
Tom
Have you attempted to catch up on some research posts of your blog?
There are lots of good visuals here- sometime I think you could do more to really hit Level 4.
Continue to experiment technology and use http://www.screencast-o-matic.com/ or scribd again for responses.
I still need to see Posts 9 to 11 your application of theory to videos from your genre.
Post 12 Low Budget Ideas- you have visuals but no analysis?
Post 13 Genre Mood Board- this is visual but not really sufficient analysis.
Post 15 Conventions of Your Genre?
Post 18- Adverts - have you evaluated any?
There is actually a lot of work still to be done here. I will be expecting to see these posts completed ASAP.
For you to get a really high coursework grade we need to see:
Lots of images posted in innovative ways
Detailed analysis using Media Language.
Overall your progress is still IMPROVEMENT needed. Lets get to Level 3 please- Very Good- I know you can do this Tom as some of your planning looks great. Use the same techniques to get Research up to date.

Assessment 2nd October (Research)
Tom,
WWW
The majority of posts for research have been attempted. Genre is more developed than the other areas and you do show some insightful knowledge. Most posts have some visual element. This needs to be expanded as otherwise your blog is very samey. Use JING or scribd or even video montage to really try to hit your target which is a L4.
EBI
Lots of posts are patchy and need visual development or application such as the theory posts 9-11. You have not uploaded any posts on audience research 19 & 20. This is disappointing.
Therefore for this assessment you have gained only a Poor with IMPROVEMENT NEEDED.
Please ensure you are up to date and have developed all posts to your target.
You have until Friday 7th October.

SJA Assessment Summer Work 25/09
Tom- I'm so sorry it's taken me this time to get to your blog! I had not forgotten you - Apologies!
WWW:
- Your blog is looking really good Tom, I am really impressed with the huge improvement in effort and approach this year! You have clearly taken lots of care taken to compose very good contact sheets Tom- nearly all posts are visual because of the use of contact sheets.
- Evidence of careful thinking and analysis in the posts on Pop and Rock music videos. You make some really observant comments Tom, and I can really see your awareness of the technical aspects (such as editing and camera movement) is strong. Good to see you number some of the shots in your contact sheets, and then making specific reference back to individual shots - this makes the contact sheet more meaningful to your analysis.
- Some good reference to specific conventions / techniques, and a clear understanding of the features of a successful music video.
EBI:
- As I have explained in class, try to show a more varied use of media to create visual posts. You need to move beyond just having contact sheet after contact sheet.I'd suggest that you try to take short extracts (clips) from some of the music videos you have anaylsed instead of relying on contact sheets for all posts. This would boost marks for 'creativity' and 'skill in the use of media and ICT'. Try creating a 'voice over commentary' parhaps for your analysis of the low budget videos to talk through the ideas you liked and the approaches (lighting / shots) that you felt were successful. This would make it much easier to explain thinks like editing and camera movement. Yes, it all takes extra time, but will gain you higher marks in the end.
- Make sure you use the checklist sheet to have all the correct titles and attach correct labels to each post. - Post 15 - 'Conventions of your genre' - needs visuals
Effort for Summer Work: At this stage - Very Good- Could easily go up to 'excellent' with varied use of media

Assessment 12/07 SJA
Only 2 posts?? - written material only - no visuals. The written reflection you have done so far is limited, and needs more detail, but I can see that you did gain some valuable experience and insight into what's expected from a successful music video shoot, and I sense that you found the day was worthwhile.
EBI:
- Stay on top of your coursework by completing ALL set posts properly by their due date to avoid referrals and to keep your place on the course into year 13 Tom.
- Embed your lip synch task and add in all planning documents.
- Ms Ingram and I make the effort to email you with detailed sheets explaining what you need to do, and ideas for what to include, and dealines. Please go back to your emails and read through theses and get yourself organised.
Effort (Pr) Poor (too much work missing - nothing visual)
