Evaluation

Guidance on Evaluation
Each candidate must produce a 500 – 800 word evaluation which should reflect upon the individual's role within the group collaboration and how successfully:

The evaluation is a crucial aspect of your project. You must EACH evaluate your work separately, making sure you answer the following questions:


  1. How your two media products are linked.
  2. How your research has been used to fulfil the brief and meet
    the needs of the client?
  3. How the products apply appropriate codes and
    conventions?
  4. How the products target the appropriate audience?
  5. How representational issues have been addressed?
  6. How the production process is organised and scheduled?
  7.  How considerations of any rules and regulations have been applied.
  8. How did you work as a team (if relevant) - what was your contribution to the project.
  9. What has been especially successful in your project?
  10. What could have been improved?

Your evaluation is marked as following:

Evaluation (AO4 10 marks)
Level 6 
9–10 marks
Candidates offer a focused, cogent and critical evaluation of their contribution to the production process. They draw on convincing evidence and valid criteria to assess the degree of success of the completed media production in fulfilling the terms of the brief and meeting the needs of the target audience. Responses are communicated using accurate spelling, punctuation and grammar.

Level 5 
7–8 marks
Candidates offer a successful evaluation of their contribution to the production process. They draw on some convincing evidence and valid criteria to assess the degree of success of the completed media production in fulfilling the terms of the brief and meeting the needs of the target audience. Responses are communicated using mainly accurate spelling, punctuation and grammar.

Level 4 
5–6 marks
Candidates discuss their contribution to the production process. They draw on some relevant evidence to show how successful the completed media production has been in fulfilling the terms of the brief and meeting the needs of the target audience. Responses are communicated using some accurate spelling, punctuation and grammar.

Level 3 
3–4 marks
Candidates describe their contribution to the production process and comment on the success of the completed media production in fulfilling the terms of the brief and meeting the needs of the target audience. Communication, including spelling, punctuation and grammar, may not be wholly effective.

Level 2 
1–2 marks
Candidates provide a simple review of their contribution to the production process and may offer some ideas on the success of the completed media production in fulfilling the terms of the brief and meeting the needs of the target audience. Communication, including spelling, punctuation and grammar, may be limited.

Level 1 
0 marks
No work worth the award of a mark.

Presentation 2 - Watch this Space

Your second presentation - to a 'representative' from Regeneration - will be shown your first week after study leave (week beginning 9th December).

This presentation is to include the following:
  • A summary of your campaign ideas
  • A recap of your target audience and what it is you are wanting them to do to get involved
  • How your project ideas/audience/focus has changed since the last presentation
  • Your final campaign idea (including names, audience, 2 linked productions, slogan, logo etc)
  • Show progress made so far:
    •  to include poster/leaflet plans,
    • website design (or show us round the website so far)
    • Storyboard for film - or (even better) show us some of your filming so far.
    • Any other production work done (e.g. facebook page etc - you will have FB access as presentation will be done on my laptop)
  • How all the work is suitable/specifically done to suit the target audience
  • Link to the brief
  • What your intended outcome will be

Remember to keep a close focus to the requirements of the brief - you are wanting to get PEOPLE involved with regenerating a local area - and a sharp link to the needs of the target audience.

This presentation is worth 1/3 of your total research mark.

Remember to try to create an engaging, detailed presentation.
No slide to have more than 20 words.
Visuals will be needed to demonstrate your progress.

Classmates will also offer feedback again.

Marking:
I will be marking your presentation on the following things:
  • How well it is linked to the brief.
  • How clear you are regarding target audience
  • Clear understanding of the issue and your research.
  • Good progress with suitable, relevant ideas to the campaign.
  • Presentation style (just reading off the PPT or paper with little engagement will be less successful than eye contact with audience, notes, engaging visuals, clear speech).
