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?

You need to present your evaluation on the blog. It can take the form of a powerpoint, blog entries and/or directors commentary on the DVD.

You must make lots of use ICT, they want to see links to your research, theory, audience feedback. You need to provide quotes from your subjects. Vox pop them and put them into a podcast if they don't want to be filmed.

You can set your blog up so you can link back to previous quotes. Screen shots, commentaries, commentary straight into the imovie, or even an extra normal video. You could interview yourself as the director.

The more imaginative, inventive & multi-platform you are, the better.

Marking Criteria for the Media Text

In this piece of work, in terms of production 40 marks will be allocated to the main task and 10 marks each for the two ancillary tasks. In arriving at these marks, centres should use the relevant markscheme below for whichever media is being assessed. Within the section of the main task, centres should consider the relationship between the tasks and ensure that a sense of brand identity across the package is evident. This should be taken into account at this stage.

Where candidates have worked in groups, the teacher is asked to indicate clearly on the mark sheets any differences in the contributions made by each individual to the group’s work. The teacher should also make clear on the mark sheet the quality of the brand identity across the package as a whole.

In arriving at a level, teachers are advised to adopt a ‘best fit’ approach.
