Evaluation – Comments and mark out of 16/20
Question 1: Answered excellently using power-point and ‘slideshare’. You have
understood the question well and clearly state out how your video conforms to
your chosen genre. Excellent explanation about why you made the choices you
did, backed up with well researched examples from real videos within the genre.
More could have been added on how/if you challenged the genre.
Question 2: Answered using word and ‘Slideshare’. Good detail and analysis. You
have explained well how your poster, digipak and music video all link with the
same themes, fonts and colours so that your audience will see them as a package.
Good use of real music industry examples in this answer.
Question 3: Answered well using ‘youtube’ for a video focus group and
‘slideshare’ for additional written feedback. A good range of questions were asked

2. to the focus group, and good written feedback received (although some of this is
hard to read). Good analysis of your strengths and weaknesses based on
feedback, analysis could have been more detailed.
Question 4: Answered using ‘Prezi’. All technologies used have been explained
well. Good explanation of how you used each technology.
Overall an excellent body of work. You have explained your design choices well
and reflected on what went well and didn’t. Excellent use of communication and
good use of ICT.
