feed back from peer assessment

Overall we agree with all of the comments made and are going to take them all into consideration and add all of the things that we have missed out, like shots of location and photographs of shooting. We also agree with the over all mark of level 3 and marks from 20 - 24, hopefully with the given ideas, once we add them into our blog, we can achieve a higher mark.

Planning blog peer assessment

1. List below the content of each of the posts (eg analysis of real music videos). Are there any types of post that you think are missing from the blog?

- Location

- Props

- influences

- Test footage

- Actors

**no-one added any content to these category's**

2. Is there evidence in the blog that the group has:

Completed background research?
Organised personnel, locations and equipment for shooting?
Developed ides since the initial concept?

- research on Jason Mraz - well done
- really good test footage
- good animatic, lists
prop photos - good
- really good ideas, and clearly shown animatic

3. 'Is there a clear understanding of what ideas we are trying to pursue? What else do we need to add?

Yes, there is a very clear understanding of what your group is trying to achieve.
Need to add photographs from shooting.
You have a good shot list.
Very clear! good use of different angles in test footage.
BEST TEST FOOTAGE!!

4. Overall assessment:

If you were to give this blog a marking level what would it be?

Level 4 = excellent planning 24 - 30 marks
Level 3 = Proficient planning 17 - 23 marks
Level 2 = Adequate planning 10 - 16 marks
Level 1 = Poor planning 0 - 9 marks

We give this blog level 3, 20 marks
Level 3 - 23 marks
Level 3 - 22 marks
Level 3 - 22 marks ( maybe go into more detail, but love the idea)
Level 3 - 23 marks, maybe 24 :D

Pitch

Ideas for 'Curbside prophet'- Jason Mraz


Locations: In and around Busy city. For example Cambridge. Walking along in front of People. passing shops.

Props: guitar, maybe a banjo, bench, iPod

Mise en Scene: Casual clothing, Jeans, natural lighting, set in mid-day light in autumn.

Target audience for the video: General viewing for all ages, because its easy to remember, non-offensive and catchy.

Reference to research conducted on the band: In his video 'Wordplay' he sits on a tree trunk, playing a guitar, we will be using a guitar for one of our props.

Genre of the band and the song: Both the band and song are country/pop, with a jazzy upbeat to it.

Relationship between the music and the visuals: the actor will be imitating playing a guitar, will be walking in beat with the song looking as cheerful as the music.

Relationship between the lyrics and the visuals: The actor will be walking down a street near a curb, the actor will be imitating parts of the lyrics through his actions.

If the video will conform to or oppose the generic conventions of videos within that genre of music: It does conform to generic conventions of music videos, as it is nice, happy music and is no different to any other jack Johnson video

Main Singer/actor to be walking down a street on or near the curb, walking past people on the street with them interacting with the singer and him/her approaching the people on the street interacting and singing to, and about them.

Using illustrative actions which will create a narrative. For example He's a curbside prophet with HIS HAND in his pocket..

Parts of Illustrative Narrative :

F or the part about "picked up the guitar in the mix" - the actor will pick up a guitar lying partly on the curb, or see a person sitting in front of a shop playing a guitar, and invite the guitarist to join him on his journey down the street.

"raising a toast to the highway patrol" - the actor will interpret a raising of as glass towards the road and the restaurant behind him will raise their glasses, we can try to get people to do this for us, but if not the actor could still raise a glass and maybe a car following for the next lyric interpretation, "hop in girl", the driver could raise a glass also.

"Hop in the truck" - actor will act out driving a car and asking a invisible girl to join him, and follow him.

SPREADING THE WORD OF THE PROTHET, CURBSIDE!
