Evaluation Questions for Main Task

Hello Media Moguls!

It's best to keep these questions firmly in mind nice and early in the process. That way you should feel comfortable about them all when it comes to evaluating your own Main Tasks. All questions must be answered:


In the evaluation the following questions must be answered:

In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products? 
How does your media product represent particular social groups? 
What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why? 
Who would be the audience for your media product? 
How did you attract/address your audience? 
What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product? 
Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the full product?

The following is also from the Specification:

"The production element and presentation of research and planning may be individual or group work (maximum group size is four candidates). Where candidates have worked in a group, the evidence for assessment may be presented collectively but centres will still assess candidates on an individual basis for their contribution to aspects of the work, from planning, research and production to evaluation. "

Begin to address these questions on a rough draft basis now, then you can tailor your final edits in the light of them.

Welcome back Y12 Media Students!

Happy New Year! May 2010 bring you much happiness and success!

Now, some way towards that:

Ensure that your group has planned your projects and that evidence of that planning is on your blog by Monday 11th January

Evidence including:

1) Investigation of the opening of at least three films in your chosen genre - hyperlink to these openings and explain how the narrative is established through mise en scene, choices of shot, camera movement... explain how that narrative will develop in the film - consider narrative arcs;

2) How this relates to an active and/or passive audience - who is represented? To whom (ie who is the audience?) ? With what effect? What are the values / ideologies that are present?

3) A full beginning / middle / end storyline for your film.

4) Explain your choice of where you will begin, relating your choices to those considerations as detailed in 1) and 2) above... explain codes and conventions and how they work.

5) A detailed annotated storyboard.

Deadline for filming: Friday 15th January

Then rough edit and upload to youtube and blog to view and evaluate in the class by Tuesday 19th January
