Marking Criteria for the presentation of the research and planning

Where do you think you fit in, based on your blog to date?

Level 1 0–7 marks     Minimal

There is minimal research into similar products and a potential target audience. 

There is minimal analysis of existing texts and minimal evidence of understanding of conventions of film openings and establishing genre/narrative.

There is minimal organisation of actors, locations, costumes or props. 

There is minimal work on shotlists, layouts, drafting, scripting or storyboarding. 

There is minimal care in the presentation of the research and planning 

Time management may be very poor. 

Basically your blog has few posts, little detail and brief explanation of what is happening in film openings. Tasks from class may be missing and you have not shown that you understand what makes a film opening. Your planning is limited to a basic, rough script, poor, rushed storyboard or little evidence of drafting and development of ideas.

Level 2 8–11 marks   Basic

There is basic research into similar products and a potential target audience.

There is basic analysis of existing texts and basic evidence of understanding of conventions of film openings and establishing genre/narrative.

There is basic organisation of actors, locations, costumes or props.

There is basic work on shotlists, layouts, drafting, scripting or storyboarding.

There is basic care in the presentation of the research and planning.

Time management may not be good. 

You are behind on the work. Many tasks from class and  initial research is missing, Your analysis may give some detail about how meaning is created, but analysis is mostly descriptive of what is happening. When planning you may have created a storyboard, although this does not necessarily reflect specific camera angles/shot types or framing. There may be brief plans/comments on costume/mise-en-scene/props but little link between what you want in your scenes and why. You seem to be 'going through the motions' - working through the task list with only basic consideration of how/why your filming choices have been made.

Level 3 12–15 marks Proficient

There is proficient research into similar products and a potential target audience.

There is proficient analysis of existing texts and proficient evidence of understanding of conventions of film openings and establishing genre/narrative.

There is proficient organisation of actors, locations, costumes or props.

There is proficient work on shotlists, layouts, drafting, scripting or storyboarding.

There is proficient care in the presentation of the research and planning

Time management is good. 

Proficient means your work is generally good. Analysis considers technical aspects of the film opening, such as framing  lighting, mise-en-scene, camera movement, sound, editing as well as what conventions feature on the opening credits and how narrative is established. You are up to date with the work and using your own initiative with research and planning. Your blog is creative, using varied presentation methods to clearly explain and demonstrate conventions and your ideas. Planning has been influenced by your research and is workable/supportive in your production. 

Level 4 16–20 marks Excellent

There is excellent analysis of existing texts and excellent evidence of understanding of conventions of film openings and establishing genre/narrative.

There is excellent organisation of actors, locations, costumes or props.
