Evaluation

Now that you are moving towards completing your video, you need to start thinking about the evaluation. There are 4 evaluation questions which are set by the exam board and you have to answer each one in detail. You should be writing at least 500 words for each, plus including features such as director's commentary on your video (for question 4) and interviews with people who have watched your video (for question 3).

The 4 evaluation questions are:

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

2. How effective is the combination of your main product and ancillary texts (the magazine advert and CD digipak)?

3. What have you learned from your audience feedback?

4. How did you use media technologies in the construction and research, planning and evaluation stages?

Ask your teacher for help with this. Remember the blog makes up 40% of your marks for the project and the evaluation is the most important part of the blog.
