 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.
