Overview of G321 Evaluation

1. Evaluation
G321 Project

2. Evaluation Starting Points
• The syllabus provides you with set questions
that you will need to answer in terms of
evaluating your practical work.
• You are not permitted to simply write your
evaluation. Instead it will need to use digital
technology.
• There is no word limit

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

4. Form
• The presentation of the evaluation may take
the form of any one or combination of the
following:
- A presentation using slideshow software such
as Powerpoint
- A blog or website
- A podcast
- A DVD with ‘extras’

5. Word Limit
• No word limits will be provided. You are
strongly encouraged to use your ICT skills and
use photos and video to aid your evaluation.
This will obviously reduce the traditional
notion of a ‘word count’

6. Due Date
• Your evaluation (and your research &
planning), in whatever form, must be completed
by Friday, April 6th at 5 p.m.
• You will have two weeks of class time to work on
your evaluation in terms of doing something
‘creative’ and technological with some of the
questions and then one additional week of
homework to improve any aspects of your blog.
• We MUST spend some lessons in the last week
starting your revision.

7. What To Do
• Your group will be provided with suggestions for
each question by one of the chief examiners for
Media Studies. You will also be given a sheet with
each question and a small amount of space
underneath for you to write.
• You need to write an initial account of what you
need to include and how you plan to present this
information. You can then work out a plan as to
how you will use the rest of this term to complete
as much of this as possible.
