PLANNING

LESSON OBJECTIVES: TO PLAN YOUR CREATIVE ARTEFACT.

Planning Example 1

ASSESSMENT OF PLANNING EXAMPLE 1Planning: 8/10

The planning for the creative artefact demonstrates excellent linking of the

materials to the textual analysis. The candidate does not make these links

explicitly but it is clear from the planning that the key issue in the creative

artefact is the idea and representation of youth.

The storyboard is hand drawn and this is a perfectly acceptable way of presenting planning especially if it is

clearly laid out and demonstrates a wide range of shot types. There is a clear

sense of what the finished creative artefact may look like. The candidates

work is not top level 4 as there is room for improvement in the amount of

detail about other micro elelments such as costume and sound however it

looks like a document that has been used to inform the creative artefact as

opposed to a planning document produced after the creative artefact.

ASSESSMENT OF PLANNING EXAMPLE 2

Planning 7/10

The planning consists of a shot list and a location report, both of these demonstrate a link to the textual analysis but lack the precision of level 4 planning. In the shot list there is evidence that the candidate has a proficient understanding of how theory

works in practice and its creative application. The location report is not as detailed as the shot list but the candidate demonstrate their understanding of how location can inform the spectator of meaning.

CREATIVE ARTEFACT SCRIPT - ASSESSMENTCreative artefact: 23/30

The creative artefact is at the lower end of level 4 and this is a slightly generous mark however the layout and formatting of the work provides a clear idea as to what is expected for the non-filmed work. The script should be in the master script format and in places this has been attempted though at times it moves between this and shot direction. However meaning is apparent throughout and there is evidence of prior learning being used as well as application of film language. This is supported by the 9 key frames which demonstrate a higher level of creative application and flair than the script writing. The frames illustrate an understanding of shot types and how these generate meaning but they should all be consistently framed in landscape and to the same size. This lack of technical consistency does not match the description of excellent application of appropriate production skills but is something that can easily be addressed. Overall it is a clear example of the non-filmed task and demonstrates the potential issues and opportunities that this task offers.
