  Ellie Zambikides O Ichose to analyse this blog as it has a large variety of posts, each with detailed descriptions and information. O I feel her chosen methods of presentations for different coursework pieces allow her blog to be more diverse and demonstrate her creative journey. O Upon opening the blog you can see it is very well laid out, so is easy to navigate and view her different posts yet the use of images and formats such as slide share and emaze to show the work prevent reading from becoming tedious or repetitive. O The inclusion of a large amount of production logs also shows how much effort she has put in to both her video and her blog whilst also explaining her creative journey clearly as they are chronological along with her blog posts.

  Research O Her researchposts, along with all others, are divided into sub categories. This allows work to be easily located O When looking at all her research posts the most prominent factor, I found, was the amount of detailed knowledge she showcased. It was clear she had done a lot of research into the task and industry prior to her posts. I feel this aids her blog as it shows she has an interest for the subject, allowing a more interesting read. O Embedded work is presented through hyperlinked photographs which is more visually pleasing whilst showing good knowledge of blog work.

  Planning O Her indepth planning section shows her creative process whilst also showing a behind the scenes process. This the allowed me to see how a successful music video was made and take inspiration off this. Such as locations and effective equipment. O Again, work is presented in an interesting, interactive way allowing me, as a viewer, to not feel it is just extensive writing, something I wish to stray from doing when going into detail. O Clear presentation of formal work such as call sheets also allows her working process to seem professional.

  How this workwill inspire me O I will aim to also have a easy to navigate blog with different pages for different pieces of work. O Also work shall be presented via a variety of mediums such as slide share, prezi, emaze and also use premiere to create videos to show some work. O I also aim to have as much detail in my writing as she has incorporated into her. This means I will be doing independent research to develop my knowledge further, as I feel she has done.
