    Ross,

    The postmodernism mybrainshark reveals that you have a secure understanding of the key concepts of this movement; the task was completed on time and is quite developed when compared to other blog posts; the technical accuracy with the task, however, is limited. Spend some time editing your work; also, make your analytical comments more developed; instead of saying ‘this is an example of intertextuality’, suggests why the artist may have done this. This will prepare you for the exam.

    Mark: A1

    Some general comments moving forward
    -make your blog posts visual
    -make sure you use capital letters and check your spelling
    -continue to meet deadlines; this has improved; and I can tell you are proud of your work; good!
    -excellence shown in ‘whiteboard’ quizzes

    How are you behaving in the theory side of the class; are you doing anything to prevent learning? If so, what more can you do to ensure that you secure a B on the exam?

    Ross,

    The Seven Nation Army video must be posted. The reflection of this task must be done.

    Below is some feedback on the video. You four should have done much better.

    Music Video Feedback

    -Match on Action—This is not shown; minimal/basic
    -75% of the main artist–who is the ‘star’? This doesn’t seem to be thought out; basic
    -75%–close-ups/mids–this is mostly done; basic/proficient
    -match cuts–these are mostly used effectively; the ending is the best, where the editing is more up beat. Basic/Proficient
    -Editing to the beat–the opening bass guitar riff needs this; however, it is not done; the playing of the chords is in tune. Basic

    The best part of this is the ending. It has pace and begins to reflect the energy of the song. Moving forward, stick with one ‘star’, keep the mostly good lip synching and edit more to the beat, link you have done in the closing frames of the music video.

    Unfortunately, because of the latter and the areas of poor focus and lip synching, this would not earn a C grade.

    Post the reflection ASAP. The rest of the class has.
