Hi Chene
ReplyDeleteOverall Score: 10/20 (was 14/20 but - 4 for late submission)
A good attempt at a critical reflection but needs more detail to get higher grade. For things like conventions used, we just need to see more explaining of the concepts (visuals of the effects your were trying to achieve and showing a deep understanding of the concepts).
The narrative also needs a bit of a broader understanding of the topic. Demonstrating you understand the way different narrative structures work and comparing what you chose to do.
Blog tools worked well, just make sure you check the preview before publishing. Q4's blog tool is only able to be read if I click on it. The actual slides don't present well as it's a bit blurry and really small. Slight tweaking needed for this.
