These are interesting ones from Yasmin whose evaluation also made it into Level 4 (though it's not perfect!)

This is more of a level 3 but shows you how you can annotate your film opening in YouTube for Question 5:

Also take inspiration from A2 Evaluations - Look at Hasina's tasks and Chloe's voice over for instance.

Also look at the examples linked on the left hand-side under Essential Links (towards the bottom of the list on this page)

Marking Criteria and activities for the evaluation by hgaldinoshea

Due in for next lesson: week starting 27.2.12

- You need to draft, in written form, your responses to Evaluation questions 2-5 at least. Post on your individual blogs.
- Leave feedback/ peer-assessment on 2 other students' cuts. You can add comments on their blogs.

Remember the looming deadline: 2nd March. All rough evaluations in.
FINAL DEADLINE: Friday 9th March. Time's ticking...

USE LINKS FROM PREVIOUS POSTS AND ON THE LEFT-HAND SIDE TO SEE GREAT EXAMPLES OF EVALUATION.

Updates and deadlines

You need to write at least 2 posts a week reflecting on your progress, embedding grabs of what you're doing and learning alond the way, eg. new tool or technique in Final Cut or how you are diverging from the initial storyboard and why.
Also esplain what you are doing with sound design and soundtrack - the research should be there too (embed as much as possible so we can 'hear' what you're planning...)
Maybe you're hesitating between 2 editing options and would like some peer feedback...
You can also reflect on and list what's still to be done.
All this should give us an idea of your "journey".

Many of you are missing some research and planning on titles. Make sure you put this to right as soon as possible.
We will start assessing the Research and Planning part of the blogs during half-term so it's got to be ready. The mark scheme is in your booklets and all over the walls in the pod.

You should also start planning your answers to the evaluation questions. Make sure you have done all the necessary research in order to answer them.

Finally you will show your films this week and receive feedback which you will need to log carefully and reflect upon.
If you're behind with your edit, start spending more time in the pod!
(Nearly) final cuts should be ready by the end of the end of the double lesson on Thursday or Friday.

Reminder - these are your Evaluation questions, counting towards 20 marks (as many as for Research and Planning):
This is the booklet you need to refer to. It is to be found at the back of the assessment booklet you already have. Please look at the A2 media students' blogs to look at the varied ways to evaluate creatively.

Finally, for some of your film openings (particularly Komal, Geerthy and Mathura), this is an idea you might want to explore when your character wakes up (at the start):

EVALUATION TASKS

Growing concern... You must start posting your Evaluation. I want to see some of the tasks on your blog by tomorrow's lesson, even if they are still 'work in progress' - you will be able to amend / add to them.

Example from other centre (note - your evalution must feature on your individual blog)
A2 Evaluations - Look at Hasina's tasks and Chloe's voice over for inspiration.

Just to remind you again, here are the criteria for a level 4:

- Excellent ability to refer to the choices made and outcomes.
- Excellent understanding of their development from preliminary to full task.
- Excellent ability to communicate.
- Excellent skill in the use of digital technology or ICT in the evaluation

Final Deadline - 14th March 2011, 5pm

All coursework, including all evaluation tasks, must be completed by Monday 14th March 2011, 5pm. No further posting will be considered after that deadline. This Thursday you will be working on Evaluation question 1. Afterwards, you will have to continue in your own time.
Get any filming for your evaluation tasks done before half term! Get yourself organized!

You have already started on the Film Industry with Mr Molloy and will be working on the other exam unit (Representation in TV Drama) with me after half term.

TO BE COMPLETED BY NEXT THURSDAY 17.2.11

You must use every opportunity to use the pod this week and next week before Thursday to complete, export and embed your final cut. You must start posting your evaluation tasks now. A letter is going home to explain it all.

You must strive to show your film opening to your target audience and gather feedback - see earlier posts - to tackle your evaluation task on feedback. Think of filming your group and / or your audience discussing your work. Structure the feedback with guidance questions. Add shots or clips from your film, do a little subtle editing, et voila!

Use the links on the right-hand side to look at examples and remember to have a look at the A2 blogs as well, particularly for examples of how to tackle question 1 (you'll be doing the same task).

Home Learning - for week beginning 7.2.11

You need to get started on your evaluation tasks. We will start Evaluation question 1 in class but you must get started on questions 2, 3, 4, 5. I expect you to have completed at least 2 tasks in depth and as creatively as possible by next Thursday (at least a rough version). Please look at your packs or the previous post for guidance.

Remember that your final edit needs to be completed by Thursday 10.2.11, end of lesson 2. If you finish early, you will be working on your evaluation tasks.

EVALUATION TASKS - HALF-TERM DEADLINE APPROACHING

Now that your sequences are nearly there, you seriously need to focus on your Evaluation Questions - another 20 marks can be gained with a little commitment and effort.

This is the booklet you need to refer to. It is to be found at the back of the assessment booklet you already have. Be as creative as you can. Start working now and organize time to film one of the evaluation questions. Please look at the A2 media students' blogs to look at the varied ways to evaluate creatively.
