Ancillary task with feedback comments

My feedback i received was generally in the grade boundaries of level 2 and level 3 as i received one comment in level 1 which was Manipulating photographs as appropriate, including cropping and resizing. This comment read 'speech bubble missing outline. Images aren't photo-shopped very well and can clearly see the cut off on the inside CD cover. This feedback is extremely accurate and will allow me to improve my digipack further to create a more professional and well finished product. The rest of my feedback was mainly good with only small aspects letting me down from being in level 4. I achieved a level four for awareness of the need for variety in fonts and text size my feedback for this section wrote 'all font sizes are used well and are easily readable'. My other level four grade was for accurate use of language and register, for this my comment read 'language is very proficient and well used'.



To conclude, I believe the feedback i received from my peers has been very helpful and help me notice the finer details that i have missed in order for me to improve them aspects to make a high grade production of the quality in which i can achieve

Focus group comments on rough cut

Focus group comments

I received a few detailed comments from my class as they watched the rough cut of my production. the positives i received were "very funny", "comedy was well done", "convincing lip syncing" and would appeal to target audience. This was excellent feedback and made me feel achieved with the work i had done as one of my main aims for the production was to make the humor appeal to the student age range and as they laughed during the screening i could tell they appreciated the humor. The comments which were picked out to help improve my production further were "shadow of the camera in final shot", "some lip syncing was slightly out" and "tripod in view in two shots, intentional?". This also was very good observations and feedback as i can now address these issues to becoming one step closer to making a better production. A few things i picked up on while watching my rough cut were the performer misses the first word of the song, tripod appears in shot twice and the camera shadow in the last shot is extremely obvious. I will address these issues by trying to edit them to make them unnoticeable or i will re shoot that footage so it does not have these mistakes.
