Feedback no.2
Overall I feel that you have made an excellent start to the course and I have been very impressed with your commitment, enthusiasm and desire to do well. Well done. Love the vlogs too; keep it up! Although they are quite long! Maybe make more notes beforehand and be more targeted in your analysis. You are currently working at a low Excellent level (A/B); in order to ensure your work falls comfortably within your targeted A/B grade, you should do the following going forward:
Now that we are approaching production, I would recommend that you start blogging more regularly on everything that you are doing on the course. This could start with your swede; write a blog (or do a vlog) on your contribution to the production and what your challenges/difficulties were in achieving your swede.
Keep it up! You are on target and I’m looking forward to seeing you work on your film opening.
