- Is the music genre easily identifiable, how? If not, what will you do to demonstrate this is your final production?
- Thinking about media language, which aspects of the filming worked best? Interview, singing, static shots and why? Any background buildings, people that didn't really fit? Which didn't come out as well as you'd hoped and why. Sound ok? Any background noise?
Mise en scene - costume, lighting, actors, makeup, props, setting - which worked and what other elements will you include in your final production?
- what have you done or will you do to create an image for your artist/band that will appeal to a wider audience? Are you constructing a recognisable 'brand'? How is your artist being represented?
Others in the class will also be assessing your work.
You must reflect on your practise shoots, what you've learnt, what went well and what could be improved. It is essential you reflect on every stage of the process and there are plenty of objective sheets on the desk for you to fill as production diaries. Take turns in your group to summarise the tasks and learnings.
You will present your learnings and video to the rest of the class for discussion and feedback. This will also need to be recorded onto your blog.
Planning for your final production will then commence.
