Continuity Project: weeks 3 and 4

You should now be well underway with your continuity project. Remember - the initial deadline for the edit is the end of next week. However, if you will struggle to achieve this, an extended deadline is available; final cuts should be posted no later than Friday 28th November.

 

You should then evaluate your work. This includes a detailed consideration of your process (what you did) and your outcome (how your work looked). You should analyse and offer constructive criticism of what you think you did well, what you could have improved on and (crucially) how you will make sure that your final piece is better. You should also cover the following areas:

• Who would be the audience for your media product?
• How did you attract/address your audience?
• What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?
• Looking back at your previous work, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the full product?

You are advised to use a range of approaches. For example, with the audience questions, you could show people from your target audience your work and interview them. For the technologies process you could compare the pieces you have done, discussing how you used and improved on various effects and so on.

You could do all of this as part of a single documentary, or use a range of approaches. Although you can use written blog posts to support your answers, you should aim to use the full multi-media functionality of your blog; otherwise, you will be unlikely to get a +L3 mark.


You should make sure that you are consistently blogging about your work, going into some detail about the process. The blog should not just be descriptive - it should be analytical and insightful, explaining not simply what you have done but why you have done it, with some degree of appraisal.
