Weeks 3 & 4 - Creative Critical Reflection

Due 04/12

Blog - This is your final blog post.  After this week we will work on test preparation. Your Creative Critical Reflection (CCR) should be at the top of your blog with the final cut of your movie opening just below it.

Here are the instructions for your CCR as they were written in the Cambridge AICE Media Studies Syllabus:

Creative critical reflection
This work can be presented in a number of formats such as: a director commentary, slideshows with voiceover, podcast, Prezi or screencast presentation and must answer the following questions:

1. How does your product use or challenge conventions and how does it represent social groups or issues?
2. How does your product engage with audiences and how would it be distributed as a real media text?
3. How did your production skills develop throughout this project?
4. How did you integrate technologies – software, hardware and online – in this project?

Learners should be reassured that admissions of ineffective choices (as long as they have explained how these were rectified, or what was learnt from them) made in the production process are seen as highly reflective qualities and would not, in its own right, impact on the marks awarded.

Here are the links to the blogs of the movie openings you viewed in Q3 Week 2.   You can view the CCR's of these students as examples.

Week 2 - Final Cut

Part 3 Due 03/29

I will sort the peer reviews and distribute them to the film team members by Tuesday.  At that time you will edit your film opening based on suggestions from the peer reviews and create a Final Cut.  Final Cuts will be uploaded to youtube and a link posted to your blogs along with an explanation of changes and why you made them by Friday, March 29.  Even if you decide to make no changes, you must discuss the peer review comments and why you decided against the suggestions.
