This document provides guidance for students completing a paired digital media production project. It outlines the documentation and management tasks needed at different grade levels (P, M, D) to demonstrate production management skills. At the higher levels, documentation should be more complete, detailed, and regularly reviewed/revised throughout the project. The document provides examples of tasks like production schedules, risk assessments, equipment booking forms, budgets, and video diaries. At the distinction level, students are expected to regularly review and update all documentation, and reflect on progress, challenges, and needed revisions in video reviews posted online.
