Self Evaluation on internet video production homework

Here is the average score out of 4 for the video, based on mine and Farina's personal assessment as well as Mr. Bush and the class's. Below each level descriptor is the overall reason for the ranking. 

A - Aesthetics : 2/4 

included a summary of key ideas, however couldn't be credited for any effects due to too much secondary work being used.

C - Creativity : 1+/4 
Little creativity was shown due to the fact that just research was carried out on the internet - about the internet, rather than primarily filming or typing up information ourselves.

T - Technology : 2/4
I successfully managed to upload to YouTube and embed the video on my blog, was of high quality most times and had good music. Showed experience of using movie editor (Sony vegas)

U - Understanding : 3/4
This was the strongest part of the video, as we managed to identified what the class needs to know and managed to put together successfully an informative video on the changes the internet has caused,

P - Production Values : 2/4 Was well edited, however not proven to be very ambitious as it was secondary work; managed to edit clips in well to present a good standard - with some good transitions on screen and audio.

Total: 10/20 = 50%

Overall summary of results


WWW: There was a pretty strong understanding of what needed to be gathered and presented.
The music was appropriate, the clip was longer than 1 minute.
The secondary research was relevant and informative.

EBI: More of an original approach was used - i.e. not to copy and paste and then edit chunks, be more creative with it, and use more of our own work.
Use a camera to record by ourselves.

Penetration 
18.3 million households in the UK (70 per cent) had Internet access in 2009*. This is an increase of just under 2 million households (11 per cent) over the last year and 4 million households (28 per cent) since 2006. (National Statistics 2009) *This had risen to 87% in 2013.

The ‘Information Revolution
 The internet has been called:
— “the most important medium of the twentieth century” (Briggs and Burke 2005, 244)
 and:

— “an application that will usher in The Information Age” (Castells 1996, 328)

The Gutenberg Revolution
550 years ago, the invention of the printing press by Johannes Gutenberg meant that the number of books in existence rose from a few thousand to 20 million in just 25 years
This led to the Reformation, the Renaissance and the scientific revolution in which centuries-old modes of thinking were radically questioned
