ASSESSMENT

You will be assessed on the following tasks between now and November - some written, some practical. The results of these will form the basis of the progress reports that I will complete in November:

1. practical work and written reflections on your own thriller still
2. written analysis of allocated film still
3. dvd cover analysis
4. practical task - camera
5. practical task - continuity
6. your ongoing blog development

I will also take into account:

1. your verbal contributions in class
2. the way you prepare for lessons
3. your ability to meet a deadline and follow instructions
4. your efforts to keep up to date with work

Your individual and group blogs will eventually be submitted to OCR as evidence to support the mark you have achieved for coursework research, planning and pre-production. This is how the marks break down:

Research, planning and pre-production = 30 marks
Production (filming) and post-production (editing) 60 marks
Essay (30 marks)
Total = 120 marks

You would have to score around 98 marks to achieve an A for your coursework. If your film end product isn't quite as fantastic as you want it to be, you can still do well with great R+P and a really sound essay; it makes sense to get these right as you just never know with the production - anything could happen!

Hope this is useful
