YEAR
12 EVALUATION QUESTIONS
Each
student will evaluate and reflect upon the creative process and their
experience of it.
Students
will evaluate their work electronically, this evaluation being guided by the
set of key questions below. This evaluation may be done collectively for a
group production or individually. Examples of suitable formats for the
evaluation are: a podcast, director’s commentary, DVD extras alternative
scenes, a blog, a Powerpoint, annotation of a YouTube clip, a Prezi, audience
research graphs, edited focus group interviews, vox pops etc.
In
all cases, students should be discouraged from seeing the evaluation as simply
a written essay and the potential of the format chosen should be exploited
through the use of images, audio, video and links to online resources.
In
the evaluation the following questions must be answered:
1. In
what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and
conventions of real media products?
2. How
does your media product represent particular social groups?
3. What
kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?
4. Who
would be the audience for your media product?
5. How
did you attract/address your audience?
6. What
have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this
product?
7. Looking
back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the
progression from it to the full product?
