Lecturer feedback

You have described and made evaluative comments on our own work. You have explained what some of the features of production are that you have used, but have not critically evaluated your own. Your blog often falls into merely describing a list of events rather than analysing the effectiveness of your work and putting in relation to the professional environment. You have responded to the feedback of the panel regarding your first attempt at pitching your idea.

You have managed your role with a clear sense of procedure, despite losing a team member and the occasional lapse in team organisation. You have demonstrated competent organisational skills and have provided focus and direction to the others in your group.

Keeping a production log should provide you with a documentation of the successes and areas for improvement that could be referred to in future. A Distinction level log will be a critical assessment of your achievement in relation to what you have set out to do. You should compare your work to work you have completed previously e.g. compared to short film/Cornwall. You should seek out feedback throughout the process, going beyond the obvious sources (such as likely members of your target audience). You should evaluate how your personal development in relation to the brief and your role within the project. You should also evaluate the impact of professional and legal constraints on your work.

Had you done your research properly into music contract before deciding what you were going to use, you might have saved time. The same goes for filming in the Bull Ring. You need to consider all legal issues before you go to shoot and also have a contingency plans if things do not work as you anticipate.
