This document contains an evaluation of three student examples of coursework assignments on construction. Example 1 discusses a project on transgender issues that used statistics and diagrams effectively with a variety of shots and transitions. However, the audio needed improvement as one person's voice was cut off. Example 2 had too much directly copied material and people were cut off mid-explanation. Example 3 used different camera shots, clear titles, adjusted audio levels, and presented information creatively, but the statistics were amateurish and too many archival materials were used without enough of the presenter. The examples are assessed based on appropriate use of shooting materials, editing meaning, shot transitions, captions, other effects, and sound recording and editing.

Russ

2. Example 1:
Transformation

3. What Went Well
Statistics: Showing the
statistics of
transgendered people.
Diagram showing off
their ICT skills, while
talking about
transgendered people
all around the world.

4. What Went Well
Variety of shots:
establishing,
rule of thirds,
wide shot, mid
shot.

5. What Went Well
Using transitions to move from one
place to another.

6. Even Better If
Sound: 5:15, when talking
about her room, her voice got
cut off too quickly.
Around 6 minutes the volume changes
meaning that for half of the clip the
reduced the background noise, but for
the other half they didn’t.

7. Even Better If
There was less copy written
material. For 4 minutes straight all
we were watching was copy
written clips.
They didn’t cut people
off half way through
their explanation.

8. Example 3:
Media Manipulation

9. WWW
1. Variety of camera shots to show the presenter and the different locations
Mid shot Long shot Wide shot
2.Use of clear but not distracting titles to introduce people being interviewed
Use of white writing and a black background keeps the text simple and not to distracting
from what is being said

10. WWW
3. Change in volume control so both a voiceover and the score music can be heard
Still photographs shown using ken burns
In this scene the volume of
the score music is lowered
so the voiceover can be
heard
4.Information is presented in a creative way that reflects what is being discussed in the documentary
Hoodies connote the youth culture Blackberry phones are usually associated with
youths

11. EBI
1.Statistics are used but look very amateur and don’t suit the type of documentary
The use of the colour pink and the female background
would make the audience think the statistics involve
females but it doesn’t
2. Use titles to introduce every individual being interviewed regardless if it’s the public or an expert

12. EBI
3.Some cuts of close up shots of specific article or words are either not on the screen long enough or
on the screen for too long
4.Use of too many archival footage and photographs, the presenter is hardly shown
Shown for too long on screen Not kept on screen long enough
Audience becomes bored and read it over and
over again till it disappears
Audience has to guess the rest of go backwards
to get the word again
