This document outlines a marking sheet for evaluating a video task for a media studies course. It provides criteria for assessing students' work across three categories: research and planning, evaluation, and construction. Within each category, it lists several elements that will be evaluated on a scale from minimal to excellent ability. The marking sheet allows instructors to systematically assign a final mark out of 100 by considering students' performance in all assessed areas.
