Halfway evaluations

Halfway Evaluations

Halfway evaluations are a really good way of looking at some of your work, finding out where you're going with it and giving you some feedback. Due next Thursday 14th November please provide a presentation including the following:

- music video/tv drama drafts- 1 minute's worth of production so we can get an idea of the themes and the locations
- magazine production - front cover and contents draft
- your website - show us your social media, your various pages and how they will link with your branding, remember you need audio visual material on your website.
- How are you going to attract/communicate with your audience on your website

Demonstrate how you will be converging your new brand and what you are still to include in your productions. The class will have the criteria and indicative content and judge you on it so please read through it carefully. It is here: https://www.ocr.org.uk/Images/465770-unit-h409-03-04-a-level-media-studies-making-media-nea-briefs-june-2020.pdf

NEA requirements and pitch

NEA requirements - make sure you've ticked these off first then be creative! We don't want a moderator to say it didn't quite fit the genre or the representations weren't clear enough.

https://www.ocr.org.uk/Images/465770-unit-h409-03-04-a-level-media-studies-making-media-nea-briefs-june-2020.pdf

Look through research and planning slides and look at the requirements of the spec such as different locations, representation of social groups, performance...

What music means to you

What Music Means To Me

'What Music means to Me' - presentation to the class

As preparation, pick 3 tracks that mean something to you - in some way are a reflection on your life, and prepare to talk about your choices. One track should be from your childhood, one from your early teens and one that means a lot to you today. It's about honesty not about what your friends will think of you.

As with every hwk/task write about what you learnt from the task and each other. Basically what it says here and your own reflection:

The purpose of this task is to get you to use music in an autobiographical way and to think about the significance of music personally, culturally and socially.
