2. Ellie
Zambakides Research
When looking through Ellie’s research section I noticed the detail
within her work.There was a clear variety of different medias
embedded in her work, and it was also evident that a lot of the
posts had lots of detail within them.There are many different
images and examples that show her progression and where her
inspiration for her own coursework stemmed from. I believe she
has dealt with this section extremely well as it is evident from this
section of her blog that she has gone into immense detail
researching previous blogs and general music videos, digipacks,
adverts etc. to allow her to produce to the best of her ability.
3. Planning
Ellie has clearly put a lot of effort into the planning of her music
video on her blog. She again has immense detail within this
section of her blog, with varied different media platforms allowing
the blog to be more enjoyable to read from. Ellie has included
signed forms, floor plans, techniques she will use, risks, a clear set
out plan and schedule for the filming and putting together of her
music video which allows the reader to understand the extent to
which Ellie has gone to ensure her music video is successful. It is
also evident in this section of her blog the progression of her
music video and how this came about with a clear, detailed and
structured plan.The detailed sketches of what she planned her
advert to look like show clear progression and are a direct
demonstration of the detail to which this section of her blog has
again.
4. Evaluation
Ellie’s evaluation is another strong point to her blog. It is very
detailed again with variation in medias.The questions are
presented through a video which allows the reader to have the
clearest understanding to the answers for these questions as they
are direct from the student.The responses are structured very well
allowing lots of detail and no confusion, it is evident that Ellie is a
successful media student through her use of media language and
concepts in both the video and the magazine.This can be of use to
me when I have to evaluate my work as I now know that various
different medias allow for a successful evaluation and blog in
general. I will try and incorporate this in my work when I create my
own evaluation.
5. WhyThe BlogWas Successful
Ellie’s blog was successful due to immense detail and variation
with medias.This allows the reader to stay engaged with the blog
and not lose concentration.
There is clear research and planning, showing how Ellie has
progressed throughout the course and improved her work
drastically. It is evident that she understood the tasks and
completed them to the best of her ability with clear thought into
the way she wanted to design and create her music video.
Her blog is very organised and well structured, allowing everything
to be in place and detailed. She portrays herself as a confident
media student in her work through organisation, detail and
variation in medias.
