Teachers comments
1. Good analysis of My House by Flo Rida using prezi. Excellent application
of Goodwin and Mulvey’s theories. You could vary the images used
throughout as some get used several times.
2. Genre research completed using prezi. Good detailed information
presented well. Digipak and poster analysis conducted of Year and
Years, One Direction and Calvin Harris. Good analysis of the similarities
and differences each artist has within the genre.
3. Excellent target audience research has been conducted. The use of a
survey given own primary data is excellent. Good use of avatar to
visualise stereotypical audience members.
4. Not handed in. Annotated lyrics now uploaded. Good clear notes
showing your initial ideas.
5. Good evidence of ideas drafting throughout. Good comments on the post
it note exercise.
6. Excellent storyboards detailing your idea clearly. You need to look at
another way to upload these as you cannot zoom in which makes it very
difficult to see. Storyboards now re-scanned and further detail added.
Very comprehensive, well done.
7. You ideally need separate shot list, not just merge in with your
storyboards. Shot list has now been completed. Very detailed and clear
plan.
8. Good detailed floor plans. Please change the title of this post from
‘Locations’ to ‘Floor plans’. You again need to look at the first 2 locations
as they are very hard to see. Floor plans now re-drawn and labelled
clearly to see what scenes will be shot there.
9. Good location photos, you need to add a sentence for each one to say
what scenes will be shot there.
10.Costume choices explained well with images.

2. 11.Prop choices explained well, you could add images to make it more
visual.
12.Actor choices explained excellently with images of the chosen cast.
13.Equipment choices detailed very well.
14.A very comprehensive and visual production schedule, well done.
Remember you only have 4 evaluation questions to answer for this
production.
Overall this is a very proficient body of work Maz, well done. Excellent use of
technology throughout. A few bits need adding to make this work complete.
Please see comments above. Excellent additional work such as your mood
board and risk assessment.
You have made good use of your feedback to improve work. All work now
completed to an excellent level, well done.
