Preliminary exercise feedback and learner response

1) Type up your teacher's feedback in full. If you've received your feedback via email, you can simply cut and paste it from the email into your blog.

WWW:

1. You attempted to capture some photos based on this preliminary exercise

2. Some attempt was made to produce a front cover

 

Next steps:

1. Very poor use of time which demonstrates a lack of organisation on your part – you need to meet deadlines so that you can receive the best possible mark for your overall coursework

2. Plan what you wish to produce on your front cover and double page spread – then take photos which will best represent you ‘celebrity influencer’ – even if you do not have the photos, you can still produce the front cover and double page spread text and coverlines



2) Using a combination of your own reflection on the preliminary exercise and the feedback you were given, write two WWW bullet points (What Went Well) and two Next Step bullet points for your preliminary exercise.

What have you learned from the preliminary exercise that will help you in the actual coursework project? List three things you have learned or will do differently as a result of this exercise. You may want to comment on organisation, actors, filming, editing or something else entirely but be specific.

  • I need to add more media terminology in my statement of intent
  • I will get more photos for my coursework
  • I need to finish my work before the deadlines
