Her estimated net worth is $1.7 billion which shows how much money influencers can make. She can make between $5000000 to $20000000 for each promoted Instagram post. 4. The idea of making thousands of pounds a month by sharing a few selfies may sound cushy – but the reality can be hard.

 1.  WWW: Your editing skills are really very good here – lots to credit. Excellent continuity editing, clear narrative communicated and a perfect product shot at the end of the advert. Both music tracks work really well too – excellent selection and introduced at the right time. The only issue is that the clips are the example videos we filmed in class so we don’t have any of your own original video which is a crucial part of the process. This is something to consider when choosing how to proceed with your coursework project.   EBI: In terms of the editing, the main feedback from this project is the audio tracks. The music is great but you still have the audio tracks from the video which means you can hear the direction and instructions to actors. It’s a great lesson for future editing projects as you need to edit with headphones on or audio up and check your work carefully before exporting. In this case, you needed to either drag the video file only on to the timeline o...

 1. WWW:  You start well but now you need to add the revision and practice to reach the upper levels throughout. The potential is definitely there. EBI: Revision: Narrative theory, Learn / revise the CSPS in Q7 you needed detailed divided examples from Black Widow. 2.Athletic body connotes that the subject is in condition and well prepared for the ‘battle’. • No direct address but the subject’s eyes are focused on pushing the heavy tyre (physical exertion) which connotes determination and power in the face of adversity.

The make-up shows sweat and dirt which has connotations of being ready for action and taking part / effort. 3. Excellent analysis of the product that is detailed an...
