This will be a short video based on a treatment. The video should be no

opportunities to make these outside the Portfolio assessment in the first
year, as well as in both the second and third years of CMP.
You must provide release, permission and copyright details in the form of
a ‘Project-as-Completed’ (PasC) form.

5. 2. Evaluation (Visual Essay) (15%)
✤ Due: 4pm 01/05/13 Complete reflection and evaluation of skills
development
✤ Students will need to submit a ‘visual essay’ to the class blog. It should
describe and comment on their media skills development and process
during the module, as well as the final products. They illustrate their
reflections with photographs and video (showing the correct consideration
for permissions and copyright).
✤ The voice over should be a critical reflection of your skills development
relating the process you have gone through and the tasks you have
completed. The assessment of the visual essay will be based on reflection
and analysis your learning during the module taken rather than just a
description of what you did.
✤ The duration is 2 minutes.
