Blog Comments

1. What do you think of our blog?
  • What do you particularly like about it? What's especially impressive?
  • What could be improved? What's missing or could be added?
2. Based on what you've read on the blog (and maybe seen in test screenings in class) what suggestions do you have regarding what we could do to make our Practical Production really successful?
  • What other things could we include in the production?
  • How should we go about filming any remaining scenes or editing the footage during post-production (+ suggestions for music, etc.)?

1.
i think that the blog is really good, it had up to date information from each member of the blog such as research, production progress, it was impresive and creative with the use of the cut and paste the screen of the websites. to make the blog more attravtive you can take some pictures of the interviwes and post them up on the blog.

2.
from hat we have seen in the class the first footage is really good, i suggest that you can put the websites like hi5, youtube, bebo and other important sites into one scene, when editing maybe you could put music on the shots when showing the websites. when filming the vox pops you could close up on the peopelo interviwed to show how they are feeling about this, if they find it safe or dangerous to use and meet on the internet. the filmig of the vox pops need to done in a quiet place and not to put the microphone really close to the person speaking.
apart form that i think the blog and the footage that we saw is really good, keep up good work
good luck for the editing!!!
i hope it's useful

I think your blog is very deatiled and you have clearly reserached in depth about your prodcution,which is good because it allolwes us to understand and relate to your production,seeing as this could affect youngster who check out your blog!
As discussed in class you've got some good footage,but you should try to get rid of the mic in some scenes as this looks unprofessional and you should get loads of images and make a montage sequence of them,so people are aware of all the networking sites.Use videos which show hip hop and r'n'b artists using laptops and the internet.

Your blog is looking live-o, bare detailed, lots of research, good use of pictures and videos aswell.
Your production is looking sick at the moment aswell but try and hide the mic while in interviews n stuff and try and interview in quite places

I think your blog is really good. You can telkl straight away that you all update it regulalrly and keep posting up information which is new. You all describe your work really well, its really discriptive and you have given detailed insights to us about what you will be doing next a nd what you still have to do.
I like the way you have chosen specific images which link with your production, for instance a print screen of the hi-5 page is really good. i like the fact that msn is there is well cause now a dayz many people have their adds on hi-5 and randomn people just add you and start talking to you through msn so its good (i dont no if that was supposed 2 be there or not but its sikk still)
You have spoken about interviewing some people who are important (that pc priese person!! is dah how u spell it?? :S ) maybe you should have stills of important people like that o he blog to show poeple how this is a serious issue etc.
When you showed your production in lesson it didn't look as effective as it it did when imagined after yopu havd told us what it will look about when edited.
when you edit it etc, you should use montage sequences of the different types of chat sites and some parallel music which fits with it. this is so that we can be affected by all the different sites ouit there and how it's all really dangerous and stuff!!
sikk work still, love da blog n work is good!!

1. I think your blog is really good due to the fact that you've done a lot of research on your subject matter.

2. I think that you could add more pictures up on the blog as a lot of it is writing.

3. You could add things such as interviews with experts and possibly some vox pops.

i think that ur blog is sooo gud jus lyk ur topic of the documentary...its sumthin dat ppl have thought abt b4 but have lyk never lukd in2 it...the colour of the blog connotes the seriousness and reality of the topic....the uncovered reality of the internet

from what ive red and the amount of times i been i asked 2 b filmed by u lot lol....its osund lyk u lot are really commited and spending alot of time on this production....i think rather than askin ppl IN skool 2 b part of ur footage...i think u shud go out of skool and just ask random ppl .....cuz then u can have a wider approach

oh u can tlk abt them lil gyals dat got murdered by dat ian huntley guy(i think thats what his name woz ) cuz dey tlked 2 him online n stuf...
kl gud luk wid da rest of it ...zainab...

Your blog looks really cool, i like the topic you are focusing on! It's really interesting! Alot of research is up on your blog which is really helpful to people tp read.

What you can add in your blog are pictures, off where you have been for filming.

For your production you can maybe use a male voiceover! It will make your production look wicked

Keep up the work! :)

You've done a lot of research which shows that you understand your concept.

Add some footage, and some pictures as the blog is full of writing.

Try to get interviews from a range of people. From different age groups, genders, location, ethnicity etc. Do only 12-25 year olds only use hi5 etc? Or do 35-50 year olds use it aswell? For what purpose?

* You blog is looking realii good; you have clearly researched a lot and chosen a good topic. The colours you have used shows it’s a serious topic

* think there is too much writing and you could use more pictures to break it up a lil. And you can post some footage up onto the blog.

*also interview people from different age groups/minorities etc and not from school as you wont have a wide approach

keep up the good work:)

* Looks like you lot have been updating your blog regularly, u lot have done so much research in detail which is good and will help you with your production

* I like the idea that you are focusing on as now days the internet is most popular with the young and the subject seems interesting.

* On your blog you need to post footage of which you have taken or maybe pictures as their is a lot of writing which is good but needs to be broken down as it will be more easier to read.

* Overall, keep the good work up and good luck...

Your blog has quiet alot of research and information in it which is a good thing. Quiet impressed with how up to date you guys are...I actually missed your guys footage in class cos I wasn't there but I'm sure ppl have filled you up on that anyway. I think that it would be interesting if you guys put some reconstruction into your kind of documentary cos it will fit well...

I like the layout of your blog which proves attractive due to the coloured font. Also the various pictures and video links posted results in your blog being interesting. All the progress reports posted are very detailed and well thought out, which is prominent in the research posted which is all relevant to your narrative.
I wasnt able to see your current footage however i could suggest u use close ups on people being interviewed to illustrate their expression and use a parallel sound track for post production, whilst there are shots of the websites u feature as it will prove very effective.

Your blog looks really good so far, it has soooo much detail which shows you know what your doing and shows how focused you are.
I think you should try to include more pictures as there’s a lot of writing.
I really like the actual idea and look forward to seeing your production. To make it even better, try to include newspaper clipping which are relevant to your doc.

Well, the blog looks very appealing and very very formal....i can see that you have done a tremendous amount of research and it all seems to be coming along pretty well.

However i believe that the blog can be more attractive by using pictures/images...footage....short vids, you have included some but to break the image of writing writing writing you could always add images to break that, so it gives people a bit of a break and something less difficult to keep concentrating on!

your Doc idea is very good and the blog is also very cool!

Yuu guys have done alot of work!! The research has really shown what ur documentary is going to be about, allowing the audience to understand the concept.
I really like ur idea of the opening scene aswell..of the montage sequences of the different sites.
Not really sure about your construction, but thats a really good idea. You should maybe show flashbacks of hi5 sites, to show the audience what is actually happening. With ur vox pops, make sure the people are in different locations..not just outside, eg in a office etc

1. The blog is extremely detailed and you can see that everyone has contributed evenly to the workload. Also, i like the presentation of your blog - its nice and simple which makes it nice to read

2. The progress reports are really detailed and show alot of progress but if you could add clips of what you filmed then that would be good too

3. Ive got this soundtrack that might be helpful for you documentary which ill send to one of the members online!

1. Good blog, detailed research and everyones regularly posting up progress reports e.t.c. Add more pictures and videos though to make it look more eye catching.

2. Make use of a tripod all the time and try to not film in places where theres a high amount of background noise.

1)
I think your blog is really good, full of a lot of research and facts and looked in to a lot of detail. It’s up to date with all progress reports every week. The still image/ you tube clips also give the audience an example and grabs reader’s attention/informs them to the information you have provided.

2)
The footage we seen in class so far looks really good, the footage you have filmed fits with your documentary very well, During the vox pop there some interviews had the mic showing in future don’t show the mic, there were also some interviews were the sound was either to high or low need to sort that out also when you edit you should use music with the clips of the hi5 sites and any other websites used, other then that the footage was really good.

1. Good research and progress reports.

2. The brief needs to be more clear

3. The way you represent the websites will be important. Use sites that you can really talk about.

4. Use voiceover

Good Luck!

1. I really like the fact that you have chosen a really unique subject to base your documentary on. I also like the information and researched posted on the blog, really cool.
2. May be for postproduction you could have Vox pop on how Parents feel about what is being discussed and archive footage of news reports.
