Filming and ancillary tasks must be completed by the end of January. Music videos and short films must include lip-synching and diegetic sound/dialogue respectively. Editing and projects for Courteney and Cory need to be finished by the end of February. Student blogs should have at least 60 posts since September and all coursework will be exhibited to classes at the end of February for feedback. Students must film an evaluation of their final product by the end of April to achieve higher marks.

1. A2 Media
To do…

2. • Filming needs to complete by the end of January.
Check the OCR criteria, but a range of shots means
just that and anyone who doesn’t do this will not
get a B
• Ancillary tasks should be completed by the end of
January
• Music videos MUST have some lip-synching. The
moderator referred to the absence of this last year
• A short film must have some diegetic sound and
dialogue – again, although we have got away with
this in the past, we were pulled up for it last year
so it won’t be happening this time around

3. • Editing needs to be complete by the end of
February
• Courteney and Cory need to be finished by
the end of February too
• You will get NO extra time in class for this
because you’ve had enough and you’ve been
told right from the start
• Your blogs need to be updated. Some of you
have little evidence of progress. There should
be at least 60 blog posts since September

4. • At the end of February, I’d like to be able to
exhibit ALL coursework to both A Level classes so
you can get some feedback for your blogs
• It will be possible to make alterations after this
date to improve your work
• You’ll be given sheets to help you with the
evaluation. You must address the questions given
and you must vary the methods of presenting
answers – you can have more than one method
per answer but the answers must be labelled
clearly. No variation and you won’t even get
Band 3 never mind Band 4

5. • You MUST film part of your evaluation and do it in
a way that allows you to illustrate your final
product and talk about it. You will NOT get into
Band 3 or band 4 if you’re not prepared to do this.
• You will, of course, get the opportunity to make
changes to the evaluation
• If anyone has not completed the work in time to
hand in the marks (and this will be by the end of
April), you will be marked on what you’ve done,
not what you say you’ll do over the next few days,
because I’m not prepared to put other people’s
marks at risks.

6. • You’ve all got excellent marks at AS and to
maintain or improve them, you need to work
hard.
• As ever, if you’re stuck – ASK
• But don’t leave it until the last minute
