Evaluation Mark Scheme

Afternoon all lovely Media Students,
On this post you can see the evaluation mark scheme that will be used to assess your work. Make sure you take on board the ideas Miss Payne gave you in the lesson today and ensure that your work is heading towards the level 4 row!
You need to be uploading your evaluation posts now. Make sure you:
*Make sure your name is clearly on each of your posts
*Title your posts and make it clear what question you are answering
*Use podcasts, screen grabs, weblinks, links to your work on your blog and slideshare to ensure you are using all of the communication tools available to you.
Work hard,
Ms R
p.s. just in case you had forgotten the deadline for all work is the 31st March!

Updated Deadlines

Afternoon all,

Just to re-iterate what I said in the lesson today. Your deadlines are:
31st March for your final draft of your product
31st March for your final post on your blog for your evaluation

With your final draft of your product you must also hand in a copy of your prelim task. This MUST be handed in otherwise you will lose 15 marks.

Start your evaluation over the weekend. Make sure this is uploaded over time in lots of different posts. Make sure in your evaluation you have links, screen grabs, podcast, slide share, images of real media and your media product.

If you do all of this you will make yourself and me a very happy bunny.
Ms R

Evaluation Examples

It should sound something like this:
Bauer Media Group would probably distribute my music magazine as this institution also distributes Kerrang! and Q magazine. These magazines, Kerrang! and Q are similar to my own as they both started with a thrash and glam metal focus (http://www.kerrang.com/wheretostartwith/artists/alice_in_chains), but have developed to appeal to a more broad audience; widening their music spectrum to include emo and metalcore. Kerrang! now specialises in rock music Q magazine specialises in Indie, Rock and Alternative music as does my magazine.
The brands owned by Bauer are usually mid-market niche magazines...

Evaluation Questions

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?

Markschemes

Hello you lot,
Below are the markschemes, which I and Ms Payne will be using to mark your music magazines thus far!
The deadline for all work to be printed off and handed in is still this Friday (this will not change no matter how much you plead! Puppy Dog eyes do not and have never worked on me, so don't try now!)
See you all Friday.
