ReplyDeleteThe bullet point style notes here demonstrate that some useful research has been undertaken and show a fairly good level of comprehension. Important events such as the switch from film to video have been chronicled and some important impacts summarised at the end.
The account lacks depth and detail. One of the questions you were asked for example addressed the impact that HD technologies had on areas of production such as the editorial process. You summarise this too briefly as “faster editing”; you will need to provide much more detail to achieve your target grade.
Go back through the links and elaborate on what you’ve written.
The account is too text dominant. Embedded hyperlinks, graphics and video would make this a much more effective resource. Try to show yourself as a more rounded media student by employing more blog features and online media tools.
Some useful work and clear areas for progress. E
