unit 2 evaluation
when i first entered the course i had no experience what so ever. After attending my media lessons i learnt basic knowledge on a mac, my photoshop skills, how to load up a tape and how to set up a tripod for shooting a video. I also learnt how to use a scanner which scans the work i have done of the mac and puts it on the mac for me. The things i do need to improve on is being able to use photoshop without asking for help and start doing the more advanced things.
When it came to saving and storing materials i made sure that i organised all my files and gave them the correct names, i also created a folder called ‘media’ to put all my finished pieces in so i would not loose the files, but i needed to improve on the speed of my work and remembering to upload my finished piece on to my blogger.
while doing my work i think i could of a worked a bit more accurately and took more care with my work. I need to work on my grammar in my treatment and constantly keep checking my spelling and make sure i use capital letters when they are needed in my treatment/report etc. I also need to start cropping my photos to make them look a lot neater.
As the course has gone on i have improved more and become more creative with my work, this was because of all the research i have been doing, but i think there is more i need to improve on so i think more research is needed to make my work better.
When i began the course i had no experience or skill so i think my knowledge has improved greatly within the past few months of doing the course. I have learnt how to use final cut, photoshop etc. but i still think i could improve and learn more about the course before i finish.
I am still struggling on my photoshop skills but i am starting to improve. I do not know all i need to know for photoshop or final cut but i can save my work correctly and do the page layout and design correctly. i am going to improve my skills by updating my blogger and put my pieces in order, and i am going to learn the more advanced skills in photoshop.

Research report
I have been researching to find out about the different type of forms of a music video. While doing the research i looked into various aspects including the analysis of a music video with the same artist and genre throughout.
I then researched the conventions of the music video like how there is a relationship between the lyrics and the visuals etc. i looked on a website to show me how to shoot a music video so i know about all the different shots that could be used. I downloaded the lyrics to look for imagery and ideas. i then created a moon board, i print screened 4 images from a music video of the same artist to help me visualise my music video. I then presented it to a group of people and let them give me feedback on my idea.
Looking at my chosen artists i learnt the different types of shots that can be used. i also learnt how different genres have different ways of presenting the video and the artist i used had a lot of close ups of him and had no background dancers, i also noticed most of his videos were shot in a street location and always had a dark atmosphere. All the research i made changed my idea throughout the course because it has helped me learn more about the different shots that are used in different genres.
