Adam Parkes Level of care in presentation: Some of the presentation is a little bit haphazard – some posts look well-organised and presented whilst some are text heavy with spacing issues (e.g. large gapping, different fonts etc…). Text heavy posts really should be presented in a Prezi or PPT with images/videos to break up the text. All of your videos are not showing for some reason – these may need to be re-uploaded/checked. Basic (with some proficient) research into similar products and a potential target audience: Your post establishing the conventions of opening has no images whatsoever. Whilst your comments are suitable you have not backed up your finding with either video or screengrabs. Research into horror openings includes sweeping statements that are not completely accurate (e.g. ‘most horror films don’t introduce main characters or have dialogue’ – this isn’t accurate. Some horror openings conform to this but there are enough that do introduce the main characters – e.g. the killer – to suggest there is more than one type of action that occurs in openings). It looks like there is space for images – but the spaces are empty. Perhaps put this work into a Prezi or something similar. Your audience research is very brief; this limits your research quality to no more than ‘basic’. Undertake more research into who the audience for mainstream horror are. Film ideas – can’t see video (won’t play). Proficient organization of actors, locations, costumes, props: Your improved locations post is very good. I feel that there are areas where work could be tweaked slightly to push your mark further up – e.g. the conventions of ‘creepy kid’ films should have screen grabs and references to more than one film (to prove it truly is seen across a number of films). Proficient work on shotlists, drafting, scripting & storyboarding: comments on changes/developments. Overall – level 3. Some sound work in here – your planning is stronger than the research. You could boost your mark by researching audience in more depth and drawing more comparisons between your work and existing products. You also would need to add a few more of the ‘could’ tasks to your blog to get into a level 4.
