I think that this video is the best video out of all of them. It was clear, consise, hand written (unique), different types of information was submitted (unique), the view he used was different to everyone elses (unique), as was the lighting and finally the soundtrack. For all of these reasons I feel that this is the best video by far out of both classes.

I feel that this video showed an excellent amount of knowledge. In addition to this it was very colourful which was eye catching to the viewer. The images also helped with the understanding of the points and they were unique too (in comparison with other peoples videos). I liked the soundtrack aswell.

I thought that this video was unique as it used a different type of design than the others. The information was accurate in addition with appropriate pictures. I also liked the soundtrack.

I feel that this was one of the better videos as the information Bilawal demonstrates was excellent and most importantly it was concise with appropriate pictures. I also thought the soundtrack was quite good.

Self Evaluation
I worked together with Gurvinder on our video. During the lesson in which we presented our videos to the class, Gurvinder and I were assessed by every member of the class. Therefore, I'll be basing this self evaluation not only on what I think but what other members of class had to say aswell.
After the video had been made there were a couple of things I felt that could have been done to a higher standard. The most obvious fault with the video was the fact that there was no sound. Initially Gurvinder and I tried to play music in the background whilst we were producing the video, however, it did not sound quite right and we could not figure out how else to add music to our video once it was finished so as a result we decided to just leave the sound completely out. Secondly, I felt that another fault with the video was the quality of it. Sadly, Gurvinder and I did not have a camcorder, webcam or any other type of video recording device so we decided to just use a mobile phone. Consequently, it is understandable then as to why the quality of the video was a bit poor. Lastly, as a computer screen is so big and the camera on a phone is much smaller, the camera on the phone had to be moved around in order for the audience to view the entire screen, so that is why the picture may look abit shaky at times.
For Aesthetics Gurvinder and I recieved mostly 3's and a few 2's, nothing else. This shows me that to other people the video was of an average standard and like most other videos. though contained elements of uniqueness. The same marks (2s and 3s) were recieved for creativity for basically the same reasons. For technology we mostly recieved 1s and a few 2s (I'm guessing due to the video not having any sound in it.) For understanding we recieved all 2s. I was quite confused by this mark as Mr.Bush had said we had excellent points and knowledge. For production values we mostly recieved 2s aswell and this is understandable due to all the reasons stated above.

Homework
Differences between T.V viewers and internet users/ Are people more active online or offline?
T.V. viewers are more passive than internet users as there is a limit as to how much they can consume and what they can consume. i.e. most good programmes come on in the evening in prime time slots (roughly 6pm-12pm). Therefore, this is the only time most viewers can watch what they want. Other times of the day, programmes on television in the day time tend to recieve a smaller share of the public viewing than prime time television viewers. Furthermore, programmes on television are not on demand. By this I mean that most viewers can't watch what they want whenever they want. For example, a person couldn't watch "The Simpsons" at 1am and would have to wait until it airs on T.V. Internet users on the other hand, are more active as they can consume whatever media they want whenever they want. For example, due to BBC iplayer consumers are now able to watch BBC programmes at any time of the day. Moreover, consumers have a choice to watch what they want too. For example if they wanted to watch Eastenders at 1 am they would be able to, thanks to the internet.

Digital Britain: BBC licence fee to help fund broadband and ITV local news
- The government has confirmed that it will use part of the BBC to fund universal broadband access.
- Gordon Brown's cabinet reshuffle earlier this month, confirmed to the House of Commons that the government planned to use the expected £200m so-called "digital switchover surplus" from the licence fee to help provide universal access to broadband.
- 50p a month would also be placed on all fixed phone lines to help pay for next-generation broadband for 90% of the population.
- ITV has said it will pull out of providing regional news because it can no longer afford to fund it – but will continue to provide airtime for other media organisations to supply replacement programming.
- Bradshaw did reveal a new government target to switch off analogue radio by 2015.

Digital Britain: ISPs will have to cut filesharing by 70% under new proposals
- British ISP's will be required to cut illegal filesharing on their networks.
- President infringers could see their details passed on to rights holders, namely music and film companies as well as games and software companies, which could sue them in court. In extreme cases certain offenders could see themselves being ban from particular sites and a slow internet connection.
- ISP's have already begun to object to the idea. In a statement, Orange said that it would be willing to maintain records of those "most frequently accused" of copyright infringement to help rights-holders take legal action – "but we would not agree to funding this process ourselves".
- If the proposal is accepted and ISP's fail to have a 70% reduction on illegal file-sharing the government will require it to use its "backstop" powers to introduce further measures.
- "Users are technically savvy and, even if challenged, many will simply set up further user accounts or sign up to overseas ISPs."
