Because I now know what the examiners are looking for within my evaluation, throughout the completion of my short film and subsidary tasks I can write or film little evaluations for each task or peice of research I complete which would then consequently make my overall evaluation better and easier.

Marking criteria, for our short film and subsidary tasks

I have a great passion for media studies and want to carry on within this chosen field to try and develop a career, so I intend to go to university after completing the final year of my A-levels.
With this is mind I have copied the marking criteria over from the examiners website in order for me to constantly refer back to and make sure I am completing tasks to a high standard and to the requirements of the examiners.
I am aiming to get a B/A overall in the course so I am only interested within the requirements for the higher grade brackets and these are the technical skills that I have to demonstrate both practically and theoretically in order to enter these high grade brackets.
