Required


Ideas; audience; proposal document, production log

Grading

POINT 1 PASS- Pre-production documents: Learners will apply pre-production techniques at a basic level. Ideas will be stated briefly and will tend towards the obvious or the impracticable. Scripts, storyboards and other such documentation will be roughly sketched out, and the proposal will be a brief outline

POINT 1 MERIT - Pre-production documents: Learners will demonstrate competent pre-production techniques and some sense of direction in the way they work through the process. Ideas will show some development and will be presented in an organised way, as will scripts, storyboards and other documentation. The proposal will go beyond merely outlining an idea, having some detail about, for example, the content of the proposed video and the intended audience.

POINT 3 DISTINCTION - Pre-production documents: Learners will demonstrate highly effective and skilful pre-production techniques. Imaginative ideas, careful research and high quality pre-production work will all be evident. Learners will have direction and demonstrate a clear sense of purpose. Ideas will be clearly defined and reveal good understanding of the conventions of the genre being worked in. Proposals will be of high quality.

                    

POINT 2 PASS - Footage/Production documents: Learners will carry out a technical role in production to a basic standard, and will be hampered in expressing their intentions fully by their limited grasp of technology and skills. For example, camera work may be badly framed, sound levels and lighting continuity will be inconsistent, or the shoot will lack clear organisation. Production paperwork or notes will be brief and the production log will focus mainly on a historical account of what the learner has done.

POINT 2 MERIT - Footage/Production documents: Learners will carry out production techniques competently. The evidence presented will show care in relation to the work produced and there will be clear ability in the way equipment is handled and in the exercise of skills which will be sufficient to enable learners to express their intentions and achieve what they aim to achieve to some degree. For example, camera work will show some understanding of framing, sound levels and lighting continuity will be generally consistent, or the shoot will be organised with some efficiency.
The production log will have some detail and will demonstrate some understanding of the individual’s impact on this stage of the production.

POINT 2 DISTINCTION - Footage/Production documents: Learners will carry out production techniques skillfully and there will be an overall sense that they are in control of the technology they are using and are able to use it to serve their creative objectives effectively and imaginatively. Footage will demonstrate good composition and shots will have a clear sense of purpose.
The shoot will run to schedule and be well organised. Sound levels will be consistent and lighting will be appropriate and effective. Production paperwork will be detailed and relevant. The production log will be detailed and will demonstrate clear understanding of the individual’s impact on this stage of the production.

                    

POINT 3 PASS - Edited video: Again, learners will be hampered in expressing their intentions fully by their limited grasp of technology and skills. Shots will not match up when edited together and the final product will generally lack pace. Sound levels will vary quite widely from one shot to another. Transitions will be used, but without consideration to how they affect the reading of content.

POINT 3 MERIT - Edited video: Learners will demonstrate competent application of post-production techniques and again will be sufficiently competent in technical skills to be able to express their intentions or achieve what they aim to achieve to some degree. Edits will clearly be used for a reason and there will be a more developed sense of pace. Transitions will be used with purpose.

POINT 3 DISTINCTION - Edited video: Again, there will be an overall sense that learners are in control of the technology they are using and are able to use it to serve their creative objectives effectively and imaginatively. Editing will be more succinct and have a clear sense of direction. Pace will be good and transitions will have a clearly defined purpose. Sound levels will be consistently accurate and lighting appropriate.
