1(a) research and planning essay planning
This lesson focuses on developing research and planning skills to answer an exam question. Students are instructed to identify two specific examples of research and planning from AS level and three from A2 level. The examples need to show progress, how the skills helped with production work, and be sufficiently detailed. An exemplar student response is peer assessed, with examiner comments noting a good structure but suggesting more concrete examples, especially for A2 level skills and planning. Finally, students complete an essay plan to explain how their research and planning skills developed and contributed to outcomes, with specific examples.
1a conventions
This document provides guidance for a lesson that asks students to identify examples of conventions used in their coursework, evaluate one example from AS and one from A2, and discuss how their use of conventions has progressed. Students are instructed to identify at least 3 conventions used at AS and 5 at A2. For evaluation, they must identify an example, explain it, evaluate its effectiveness, and discuss how it demonstrates skills development and progression.
Question 4 technology
The document discusses the various technologies used by the student in their coursework. They used a digital video camera and tripod to record footage for their project. They edited footage using iMovie and Adobe Premiere. Microsoft programs like Word, PowerPoint, and Publisher were used to write reports and create drafts and final products. Online programs like Prezi and Popplet helped with planning. Survey Monkey and Padlet were used to collect audience feedback. Fireworks helped edit images. A range of technologies were also used to present the evaluation.
As media evaluation
This document provides guidance for a 20-mark evaluation assignment worth 20% of an AS Media Studies course. Students must use digital technology or ICT to evaluate their media product by answering 7 questions addressing forms and conventions, representation, target audience, and skills development. The evaluation should demonstrate understanding of course concepts and refer to choices made and outcomes. Effective evaluations use a range of presentation methods and make the work visual rather than an essay.
