Practical Mark Scheme

Practical Mark Scheme
Again, 8 common statements that are only differed by the use of "proficient" for Level 3 and "excellent" for Level 4. Brilliant!
Understand the statements first and ensure you are "hitting" each one.
Then we'll consider what the difference between the levels is.

Level 3 (36–47 marks)There is evidence of proficiency in the creative use of many of the following technical skills:
• producing material appropriate for the target audience and task;
• showing understanding of conventions of layout and page design;
• showing awareness of the need for variety in fonts and text size;
• accurately using language and register;
• using ICT appropriately for the task set;
• appropriately integrating illustration and text;
• shooting a variety of material appropriate to the task set;
• manipulating photographs as appropriate to the context for presentation, including cropping and resizing.

Level 4 (48–60 marks)There is evidence of excellence in the creative use of most of the following technical skills:
• producing material appropriate for the target audience and task;
• showing understanding of conventions of layout and page design;
• showing awareness of the need for variety in fonts and text size;
• accurately using language and register;
• using ICT appropriately for the task set;
• appropriately integrating illustration and text;
• shooting a variety of material appropriate to the task set;
• manipulating photographs as appropriate to the context for presentation, including cropping and resizing.

Evaluation Task

The mark scheme for the evalaution is just as useful as the ones for the practical itself and for research and planning!

As before, a useful task is to consider what you think the difference are between "excellent" and
"proficient" as these are the only words that differ between a Level 3 and 4.

For each statement, what might proficient look like and how would excellent be better?

We will discuss in class. Maybe even email our findings to the exam board!

Evaluation Questions

Evaluation Questions
Now you've completed a draft of your magazine, it's a good time to start making notes on the evaluation questions.
These notes should be on your blog;

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?
