Evaluation

You have two weeks of lesson time to complete your evaluation for the advanced portfolio.

The DEADLINE IS 21st April 2017.

This is worth 20 marks out of the 100 available for the controlled assessment.

In your evaluation, you must include relevant theory where necessary (i.e. Uses and Gratifications, Goodwin, Vernillis, Mulvery) as well as media terminology.

The four questions below must be addressed in detail:
 

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?  
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?

 

 

What the exam board says:

 

"In all cases, candidates should be encourage to see the evaluation as a creative task and the potential of the format chosen should be exploited through the use of images, audio, video and links to online resources."

This means that you are awarded marks for how creatively you are able to communicate your evaluation. Please see examples of the previous blogs below to give you some ideas on how to do this:
