This document provides guidance for students on evaluating their media production project. It lists four questions that the evaluation must answer related to how the media product uses or challenges conventions, represents social groups, and which media institutions might distribute it. It also suggests ways to present the evaluation visually and creatively, such as using stills from the student's film and real films, a self-answering video, mind maps of relevant media institutions, and Voki or a questionnaire. Students are instructed to plan how to tackle the evaluation to help improve their production process and gain a clear understanding of what is expected.
