The coursework counts as 50% of our overall mark and is marked in 3 sections:
RESEARCH AND PLANNING: 20%
PRODUCTION: 60%
EVALUATION: 20%

For our evaluation there are seven questions we need to answer, and to make it easier for us throughout the task we need to refer to these after everything we do, this is to make it easier for us when writing it up at the end of the task. The seven questions are:

• In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and convensions of real media products?
• How does your media product represent particular social groups?
• What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?
• Who would be the audience to your media product?
• How did you attract/address your audience?
• What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?
• Looking back at the preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the full product?
