Evaluation ideas to keep you inspired

Time to clutch the remaining 20 marks!

Please do have a look at Hasina's and Chloe's evaluations from last year ( links below and on lthe left hand side).

This is another way of dealing with audience feedback - Remember to get as much feedback as possible on your 3 products then evaluate what they say. Even better, have a few questions ready for them to answer (see second link below for examples)

Also consider doing this:

This is a video response to Question 1 but on a different brief. The structure is still excellent.

EVALUATION

Seems like a good time to remind you to use your guidance packs, particularly the Evaluation section!

Can I remind you once again that 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?
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?


Assessment: to achieve Level 4 in Evaluation, you are expected to demontrate excellence in the creative use of most of the following technical skills:
- understanding of the forms and conventions used in the productions.
- understanding of the role and use of new media in various stages of the production.
- understanding of the combination of main product and ancillary texts.
- understanding of the significance of audience feedback.
- choice of form in which to present the evaluation.
- ability to communicate.
- use of digital technology or ICT in the evaluation.

Here is a example of a level 4 blog (a bit weaker on the Evaluation, particularly question 4, where the focus should really be on Creativity):

The following booklet is for guidance. You might have better ideas and be keen to do vlogs instead. That would be fine. AVOID PREZI IF YOU'RE JUST GOING TO STICK TEXT IN IT. THE MODERATORS GOT FED UP WITH THAT LAST YEAR.

Digipak work for Friday 9th November

You should be making blog posts on the following:

1. What are the functions and conventions of the album cover? Post a detailed list or illustration of all of the different features of the album cover.
2. Examples of similar artists' album covers - remember to think about genre and audience.
3. Examples on other centres' blogs.

You also need to start designing your own six-panel digipak. Ideally you would have a mock-up posted to your blog by the end of today's double lesson.

Another example of a digipak

Obviously this only has four panels; you should be aiming for six:

Example of ancillary tasks - Level 4

Have a look at this group's work on ancillary tasks. They achieved level 4.
