Main Task Evaluation Planning and research
The coursework all adds to
100
For the main part of the main task
10 marks are for the ancillary with
the other 40 for the practical film
The things to watch out for are
when I come to write my
evaluation I must work on my
reflective skills.
What – For my practical section of
A2 I am able to create one of two
options; a music video or a short film
(The short will need to be 5 minutes
long).

3. The examiners are looking for…
• The examiners will look for whether I can accurately plan and construct
media products using appropriate technical and creative skills. (A03)
• Secondly they have to be able to understand the knowledge and
understanding in evaluating our own work, this also includes showing
how meanings and responses are created. (A02)
• Finally the examiner has to assess my ability to undertake, apply and
present appropriate research. (A04)

4. Key skills
• When making, planning and evaluating my A2 media work, I have certain
things to acknowledge, these being:
• Genre
• Representation
• Audience
• Narrative
• Media language

5. Decision
• For my A2 practical coursework I have chosen to create a short film, there
are two reasons for this; one being the fact that I love films and can watch
them endlessly, and the second being based around what I believe – I feel
that you can portray much more media production skills in a short film, this
is because the script is not already set allowing a short film to be more
creative leading to more opportunities.
