Henry V, Shakespeare
Your A2 coursework is EVEN MORE IMPORTANT than you AS coursework. Why?
- You have to do more work (3 media products rather than one)
- It's still worth 50% of your overall A2 grade but...
- ...Section A of your exam is the Theoretical Evaluation of Production, which asks you to review and analyse your practical work - so your ability to produce and then analyse your practical work is worth 75% of your overall A2 grade
- The marking criteria is harsher at A2 as the exam board are expecting to see progress in your technical ability from AS
Marking
The breakdown of how your A2 coursework is marked is exactly the same as AS:
Research and Planning: 20%
Practical Productions: 60%
Evaluation: 20%
Section A of the A2 exam: Theoretical Evaluation of Production
You will answer TWO questions related to your practical work over the past two years (AS and A2).
1 a): Describe and evaluate how your skills have developed between AS (Foundation Portfolio) and A2 (Advanced Portfolio) in relation to ONE/TWO of the following skills areas:
- Digital technology
- Creativity
- Research and planning
- Post-production
- Using conventions from real media texts
1 b): Select ONE of your media productions (your AS film or one of your three A2 productions) and evaluate it in relation to ONE of the following media concepts:
- Genre
- Narrative
- Representation
- Audience
- Media language
So...let's get cracking
First of all, set up your A2 blog:

And then, as a group, complete your AS coursework reflection sheet.
Add this information to your own individual blogs.
