Looking back at past posts for research and planning and the schedule we both completed all areas of research and planning that needed to be completed.
A2 coursework
Primary research carried out
· We annotated different dance videos such as Rita oras- How we do
· We created a pitch that we shared with the class, and we gained feedback to help with our research and planning.
· We created a twitter feed to create a brand a possible way to gain feedback
Secondary research carried out
· Youtube videos similar to our genre
· Looking at past students work and how they approached it
· Dafont.com looking for fonts for our digipak and advert
· We looked at different album covers on the internet
Pro’s and cons of primary research
· Pro’s- the research is personal to the project, for example our pitch was designed for our coursework so we could gain specific feedback that would only be relevant to our work, helping us put our own ideas together.
· Cons- it takes time, the research is time consuming to carry out.
Pro’s and cons of secondary research
· Pro’s- each of the texts are already there to look at, less time consuming, for example the album covers i looked at have already been created so they were already there for me to take inspiration from.
· Cons- what we looked at were official (eg. Album covers and music videos) unrealistic to look at because we didn’t have the budget to achieve this.
AS coursework
Primary research carried out
· Pitching the idea to the class and gaining feedback
· Creating questionnaires for friends and family
· Analysis of existing magazines
· Audience feedback from teachers
· Test shots and draft magazines to test ideas
Secondary research carried out
· Looking at past students blogs
· Websites such as dafont, cover junkie
· Looking at different covers, contents pages and articles
Comparing the extent of research carried out between AS and A2 coursework
……a lot more research needed to be completed at as we carried out different varieties of research in 3 areas music video digipaks/ album covers and magazine adverts which meant this also involved a lot of planning, I’d say at AS we needed to do a lot of research because we didn’t have any experience of conforming to typical conventions and genre types so this meant we were advantaged at A2 because wed learnt a lot at AS that we could apply. How I research and plan has improved significantly from AS and I have learnt how to apply the research and feedback into my work to get the best results. Throughout the course my skills have improved, for example at AS I had little experience with websites and technology such as animoto and now I know how to use it and have used it throughout my coursework to demonstrate my ideas and skill.
