Evaluation

EVALUATION CRITERIA

Candidates will evaluate their work electronically. This MUST contain an element of audience feedback and may be either integrated with the presentation of the research and planning material or may be presented separately. Where candidates have worked in a group, the evaluation may be presented individually or collectively but the teacher must allocate a mark according the contribution/level of understanding demonstrated by the individual candidate.

The questions that must be addressed in the evaluation are:
1.In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?
2.How does your media product represent particular social groups?
3.What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?
4.Who would be the audience for your media product?
5.How did you attract/address your audience?
6.What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?
7.Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the full product?

Level 4 16–20 marks
Excellent understanding of issues around audience, institution, technology, representation, forms and conventions in relation to production.
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

Editing the film

I have begun editing my film in iMovie. I have had to add my soundtrack, that we did the dance to, onto the film as it is very hard to here it from the original recording from the noise of the water and background noise. There is a section in the middle where we all had to stop dancing and come out from under the water as we were so cold we all got brain freeze and froze, so I have had to cut this out. Because I have cut a section of the dance out, I have had to cut a section of the music out also, otherwise the music would not fit to the choreography recorded. It was very complicated trying to match up the exact second of music to the dance and it took a lot of time, but I eventually got there.
I now need to do my last bit of filming, in the dance studio, then I will be able to start editing my whole film together.

Successful Attempt :)

After our failed attempt of filming late last year we agreed with the Fire Service to go back another day and film it then. So we did. It was such a good experience, but so cold! The Firemen all came out to help and they were really helpful. They set up one hose and the agreed Water Disperser. There was a lot of water but they offered to get out another hose for us so we took them up on it and we had more water!
We underestimated how cold the water would actually be, and half way through our dance we all had to stop as we all got brain freeze and could not remember the dance! I was hoping to film the dance three times, so that I had enough footage from all different angles, but, it was just too cold to even do the full dance once. So this means I will have to alter my original plan and cut my final version and make it slightly shorter. This is not a huge set back and it will not change my final version too much.
The Firemen were all very helpful and nothing was too much for them to do, even the policemen came out to watch!
