Practical work FINAL deadline + Evaluation

So...you've all had some feedback on the practical work you did before half-term. The deadline for the FINAL draft is Friday 4th March - make sure all improvements are made by this date and your final productions (all three) are uploaded onto your blogs.

When you've done that, it's time to start turning our thoughts towards the Evaluation section.

This is similar to the Foundation Portfolio, in that you are asked to reflect upon the process of production and also analyse your productions as Media texts. However, there are fewer questions to frame your response - but you are expected to go into much more depth as a result:

• In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?
• How effective is the combination of your main product and ancillary texts?
• What have you learned from your audience feedback?
• How did you use media technologies in the construction and research, planning and evaluation stages?

When you have finished putting the final touches to your practical work, you need to start making some notes about how you intend to respond to these questions.

I'll put a post up shortly deconstructing the mark scheme for the Evaluation and how you can make sure you maximise your marks for this section (it's out of 20, so it represents a massive opportunity to pick up marks and boost your grade).
