G321 Evaluations

Evaluation Criteria

Each candidate will evaluate and reflect on the creative process and their experience of it. Candidates will evaluate their work digitally. The format of the evaluation has some flexibility and its form can be negotiated between teacher and student: it may take place with individual candidates or with the production group as a whole, or each individual candidate or production group may make a formal or informal presentation to the whole class. The teacher must allocate a mark according to the contribution/level of understanding demonstrated by the individual candidate. Each candidate should give a clear indication of their role in any group evaluation and the presentation must be evidenced by the Centre.

AS Evaluation questions:

1.     In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?

2.     How does your media product represent particular social groups?

3.     What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?

4.     Who would be the audience for your media product?

5.     How did you attract/address your audience?

6.     What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing the product?

7.     Looking back to your Preliminary Task, what do you feel that you have learnt in the progression from it to the full product?
