Research - Task 2 - Research into other person's work - Jake Maud

Research

Strengths -

• High levels of detail and a great understanding of music which involed great analysis of the Stan music video by Eminem. Then he also used a comparison between the editing in Stan by Eminem and Arabella by Arctic Monkeys 
• I found no faults with grammar and punctuation in this section.
• Good use of pictures and makes it easier to read and more refreshing as opposed to a very dull piece of work.

Weaknesses -

• Maybe could have analysed more videos to get a better idea of what he should've been doing for his video.

Planning

Strengths -

• Again great use of pictures and videos for the different locations that are going to be used in the video
• Using pictures of costumes and props to show good preperation. 

Weaknesses -

• Slightly more detail could be used to help back up why each prop or costume.
• Shoud try to evaluate his own work more.

Music Video

Strengths -

• Extensive knowledge and variety in recording and editing.
• Actors were highly professional and looked comfortable around the camera.

Weaknesses -

•  Some of the shots seem very generic and could easily be transfered to other music videos.

 Digipak


Strengths -

• Good editing and black and white pictures give it a moody feel which i really like.

Weaknesses -

• Not sure how the picture of the woman relates to the narrative of the video or the song that was used.

Magazine Advert 

Strengths -

• Editing in black and whiteties in really well with the digipak and the overall tone of the music video.

Weaknesses -

• Again i'm not perticulary sure what the digipak has to do with the music video and don't realy see a link between them.

Evaluation

Strengths -

• Great variety of software with blogs and prezis used so that it wasn't dull and kept me entertained whilst reading.
• Little to no mistakes in spelling, puntucation and grammar.

Weaknesses -

• Slightly more analysis to really get to the higher marks in analysis.
