Grade A!

As each and every group had now produced a final cut, we spent a lesson looking at each groups final thriller opening and peer assessing them in order to help them write our own evaluations. In addition to this, our teacher gave us the grade he believes we achieved and gave us final feedback of what we did well / what we could have improved.

After watching each opening, our teacher revealed our grade, along with the list of what we did well / improvements that could have been made. Our teacher then gave each group a large piece of paper, on which each of the other groups would write 3 comments about your final cut for you to ponder.

Grade achieved: A



Positives
+ Good tilt shot.
+ Good POV shot.
+ Music was a lot better and much more engaging.
+ Pace of editing with music and narrative worked really well, editing was generally really good.
+ Effective tilt.
+ Smooth transitions.
+ Good variety of shots - keeps audience engaged.
+ Good choice of location.
+ Steady camera work.


Negatives
- Last 10 seconds wasn't as smooth, in terms of editing.
- Narrative was a little slow and not engaging.
- Font of titles could have been better.

In addition to the feedback we receive in class, we though we'd make a 'Facebook' group in order for people outside our AS media class to view it. This will help us evaluate our media product sufficiently as we will be gaining the views of people of all different ages, meaning we can see if it appeals to our intended target audience more than others, We can also gain the opinions of other media students from different years and schools, who will be able to analyse it like an official media text.
