Controlled Assessment - Approaching Production

Learning Objective: 
To learn about the controlled assessment and to consider some examples of other students work.

Key words: 
Research, Planning, Production, Evaluation

Your GCSE coursework is made up of four elements:

• Research - 10 marks
• Planning - 10 marks
• Production - 50 marks
• Evaluation - 10 marks

Add to this the two textual investigations you will produce at 20 marks each and the coursework makes up a substantial 60% of your grade.

This is from WJEC the awarding body:

Audio and Audio-visual productions may be completed collaboratively by groups of up to four. Each individual must take a significant and definable role. Individuals must be primarily responsible for one of the following: camerawork or editing.

Look at the marking criteria for the production aspects of your coursework.

You should be aiming for level 3 or level 4.
