Evaluation Questions
Evaluation for Print Production
Each candidate will evaluate and reflect upon the creative process and their experience of it. Candidates 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
DVD extras
A blog
A powerpoint
In all cases, candidates 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. Marks should be supported by teacher comments and may be supported by other forms such as audio or videotaped presentations.
In the evaluation the following questions must be answered:
•In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions 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 for 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 your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the full product?
Research and Planning may be presented in electronic format, but can take the form of a folder or scrapbook at AS Level only. Centres should ensure that blogs or other online evidence are easily accessible for moderators, preferably through a central hub or gateway with links to the work of each individual candidate properly signalled with candidate numbers.

Ok, we need to get this finished off. Here is what you need to do:
1. Complete your magazine pages and print them off.
2. In our long double lesson next Monday 17th we will conduct an audience feedback session.
3. You need to prepare for this by having your magazine printed off, along with a list of questions you would like your target audience to answer.
You will each take it in turns to answer the questions and be filmed discussing each others productions.
4. You will edit the footage and upload it onto your blog.
5. It should look something like this
We will then put the productions to one side for a month or so to focus on the UK Film Industry.
When you have some distance from it, we will then reconsider it for your evaluation.

Double Page Spread
Points to remember:
1. In terms of layout the most important thing to remember is the sense of proportion. You could fit 6 columns of text across an A3 spread.
2. You want a sense of the brand identity flowing throughout your magazine.
3. Use the exact typography of your title as a brand identity on all your pages.
4. Have a variety of images taken on different locations and with different clothes, you may only use 2 live performance images.
5. Think in terms of 'Representation'. How are you representing your artist or group?
Old, established icons?
New, groundbreaking artists?
Sex symbol?
Boy/girl next door?
6. This visual representation should be continued in the copy that you write. Are they a serious artist or are they more of a pop/celebrity artist? Will you use a pun or play on words in your title that sets the tone of the article?
7. Who is your target audience? What do they want to read about in the article? What sort of language would they expect to read? Chatty colloquialisms or specialist, referenced language?
8. Does the magazine as an institution have an on going relationship with the artist? Is there an enticement, free, cd, or tour to promote? Are they in awe of the artist or is there a sense of criticism within the representation.
