How will I be assessed?

Assessment will test both the processes that you go through to develop your production and writing as well as the quality of your final work. Assessments will range from directed short assessments in level 4, which will enable you to build up your skills and your confidence in both writing and production, progressing to more open briefs at levels 5 & 6 which will allow you to generate your own ideas and new ways of working. You will learn to reflect on your work and to identify where you excel and where you need to improve. You will have regular feedback sessions with your tutors and feedback sessions with your peers. Practical work for portfolio submission or your film work will be reviewed during the unit to ensure that you are on target and to enable you to respond to peer and tutor feedback to re-evaluate and improve your work. Essays will be submitted via Turnitin. You will work in teams and individually and your assessments will test your abilities to think creatively, write effectively and to know what is expected in terms of professional standards within the creative industries. You will work in groups on production to replicate working patterns in the film and television industries, however all marks for production work are individual and are assessed through your own contribution within the group and through your individual component to each unit. The assessments are designed to enable you to develop your own voice and your own creative signature in your work.
