BLOG final post order, final tweaks

Included elsewhere in Word; you should also carefully check the indicative list of links lists/gadgets from this post to complete a final tidy up. That final tidy up should include looking for posts with zero/limited illustration, poor layout, glitches in font size, vids/docs that are private or have been taken down, and spelling mistakes in post titles (eg 'coventions' - I'll name no names!!).

FINAL BLOG POST ORDER SHOULD BE...

HELLO...A LOOK BACK
A brief overview of what the blog's about, what's in it; highlights and challenges; what you're proud of; the best stuff on the blog! A short video (group or individual) including a few screenshots is best.

VITAL CHECK...Be sure to check all embedded material is accessible by examiner/me - and NOT set to private (or blocked by YT).

VIDEO FINAL CUT: ARTIST - TITLE
Make sure to include a list of final improvements from the last rough cut! BRIEF aud feedback is ALWAYS useful, + including this would help indicate you have been paying attention to this critical aspect.
Include a short statement of THE TARGET AUDIENCE (sub-heading!!), including any blog links you think useful.
A links list of rough cuts would help emphasize the journey.

TIME-SAVING TIPFeel free to copy/paste links lists (ie, NOT from edit mode) to save time on providing useful links!!!

FINAL WEBSITE + SOCIAL
As with all texts, there should be a list of final improvements/changes from the last draft (always try to briefly explain/justify why), + some aud feedback, no matter how limited.

You should provide two user-friendly docs to showcase your site (+ a nice big hyperlink!!!):

1. Ppt with screenshots, labelled as necessary (eg HOME PAGE PT2)
2. A screen recording video with simple commentary. Try to make this INDIVIDUAL even if you each just re-record your own voiceover from the same footage.

As the 2 really should be tightly integrated, you should do the same for each social media (in this case, each person responsible for curating a social should provide this for sharing). Feel free to recycle/re-edit these for the Eval Q on techs. Give a links list for drafts.

FINAL DIGIPAK
As with all texts, there should be a list of final improvements/changes from the last draft (always try to briefly explain/justify why), + some aud feedback, no matter how limited. Don't forget to provide a links list of digipak drafts - a short video with transitions between iterations of the digipak is a simple way of showcasing the journey.

If you present your digipak as it would be for a printing firm (so 2 panels are 'upside down'), also provide a copy where they all face the same way up. If necessary add a smaller pic with clear labels indicating outer rear panel etc, though this should be obvious from the design.

EVAL Q1 CONVENTIONS + REPRESENTATIONS
Split into 2 posts if you prefer.
All Eval posts need to start with a large size statement of the Q being answered.
If sharing resources in a group you should state clearly what each person, especially YOU, has contributed.
If its a long post, then do as I do and provide an IN THIS POST sub-heading with bulleted list of content.

EVAL VID SCRIPTSThere are multiple good examples of this, and they do help secure marks (eg Evie's, Sophie's): either in blog post style or (preferably!!) as an embedded doc, especially if you bold+pink terms, these are very helpful to the marker.

EVAL Q2 AUDIENCES + DISTRIBUTION
See points on Q1!



EVAL Q3 SKILLS DEVELOPMENT
See points on Q1!

EVAL Q4 USE OF TECHS
See points on Q1!

PODCAST #X THE JOURNEY'S (ALMOST) OVER!
Final podcast to reflect on those last frantic post-production steps, and some reflection on putting together the creative critical reflection (exam board's full phrase for the Eval). You could recycle this (with added video) for the WELCOME... post above.

FINAL ROUGH CUT + AUDIENCE FEEDBACK
Always clearly list changes/improvements since last cut, highlighting any relevant influences/aud feedback that inspired any particular change. Always restate your intended target audience(s) [primary/secondary!!] + make some specific reference to factor/s which seem un/appealing to these.
Ask yourself if you've covered any technical (especially FCPX, but whatever relevant software/hardware) kit/steps/tools used to make improvements.

---------------------

From this point, check for simple errors, think carefully about post order (needs to be consistent across a group!), update links lists, and check again for docs/vids set to private or taken down for copyright infringement (+ thus needing re-editing with reduced copyright content!!!).
