Peer Feedback

 Peer Feedback

Peer feedback helps to develop ideas, and in the instance of media, encourages the creator to consider the perception of the audience. 

I began practising how to write a strong peer assessment by looking at another media students work. In this, I analysed the positive and negative aspects of their work. The work that I was providing feedback on, was a 60 second pitch. This pitch was in video format and so I watched the video multiple times, enabling me to comment on multiple aspects of the work. Firstly, I viewed the overall video: focusing on the tone of the person and presentation of their ideas. I commented on the enthusiasm they showed and how this could have a positive impact on the person that it is directed to. 

Then, I went on to look at the specialist lexis used. I discussed how using a wider range of media terms could make their ideas clearer. I suggested that they could discuss a broader range of subjects, such as: genre, camera work, lighting, target audience and editing. I could have perhaps encouraged them to also discuss more about character, costume, location and props. 

Overall, I believe that this peer evaluation was successful in delivering a clear analysis of the work. I stated what I believed would make a stronger pitch, but didn't go into more depth about how this could be implemented in direct relation to the content that they'd discussed.  In future peer analysis, I will develop my feedback further.
