SWOT Analysis of Blog's Strengths and Weaknesses - JAN

Because the image sucks, here it is in TEXT FORM:

Strengths
- Lots of location posts
- Clear range of presentational tools
- Great analysis of similar products, genres, sequences, etc.
- Solid evidence of storyboarding, scheduling, and other production planning

Weaknesses
- We haven't cut together our evidence of filming posts yet
- Not enough soundscape work

Threats
- Time management. Some posts get away from me because of poor organisation of time.
- Sometimes I struggle to find a good place to start with any given blog task.

Opportunities
- I enjoy writing, and I feel that the evaluation stages of the coursework will provide lots of opportunities to do so.
- In the editing stages, we will make lots of progress on our soundscape, which has been a noted weakness of our work so far.

Presentation of Ideas
- Not every post has one name, as often we worked as a group
- Used a FAIRLY diverse range of presentational tools. A lot of text posts, prezis, emazes, and images.
- The weakest area is costume, but I'm not really sure what more we can say about this.

Evaluation of the Rough Cut - JAN

EVALUATING THE ROUGH CUT

ICARUS Rough Cut 11/12/15

What we still need to do

• We still need to film more shots to add to our draft. We are filming at Greenwhich foot tunnel on Friday the 4th December and will be filming at Chestnuts primary school one day next week
• We also need to re-film some of the shots we have already shot due to issues such as lighting
• Add our sound effects (this will be done in editing)
• Add a soundtrack (again this will be done in editing)
