Guidance straight from OCR on how to tackle the Questions for Sect A on G325:
And a minimalist summary of what to cover...
QUESTION 1.A
paragraph 1 should be an introduction which explains which projects you did. It can be quite short.
paragraph 2 should pick up the skill area and perhaps suggest something about your starting point with it- what skills did you have already and how were these illustrated. use an example.
paragraph 3 should talk through your use of that skill in early projects and what you learned and developed through these. Again there should be examples to support all that you say.
paragraph 4 should go on to demonstrate how the skill developed in later projects, again backed by examples, and reflecting back on how this represents moves forward for you from your early position.
paragraph 5 short conclusion
Remember it's only half an hour and you need to range across all your work!
QUESTION 1.B
para 1 Intro: which of your projects are you going to write about? briefly describe it
para 2: what are some of the key features of the concept you are being asked to apply? maybe outline two of the theories/ideas of particular writers briefly
para 3; start to apply the concept, making close reference to your production to show how the concept is evident in it
para 4: try to show ways in which ideas work in relation to your production and also ways in which those ideas might not apply/could be challenged
para 5; conclusion
Again remember you only have 30 minutes and that you really need to analyse the finished production, rather than tell the marker how you made it

Another great idea for doing a brilliant evaluation!
Make a powerpoint with lots of sounds, images, clips of your videos, sound extracts (use Garageband to cut up music, use Quicktime or iMovie to clip video)...
Bring to media and open in KEYNOTE - the mac version of powerpoint - and then you can record your powerpoint with you talking and clicking through the bullets etc and this can then be exported as a movie....see the below videos for how to do this and an exemplar...

If you have to use slideshare but want audio???

Follow the instructions to upload (top far right button). Then watch the following on how to upload it into slideshare - then you embed into blogger as usual.

A WORD OF WARNING on the exemplars
Just to let you know some pertinent things to bear in mind
1. These blogs and video evaluations were created the FIRST year of this new specification and new method of evaluation began...(this is the THIRD year) so these are 2009...
SO - check out the new 2011 work from some Yr12s..they're fabulous ideas... click the Creative Ideas Label -->
2. There is room for SIGNIFICANT IMPROVEMENT from then to now - for example a lot of your blogs are already better than these here (and so are other students')!
NEITHER of these video evaluations are deemed to be perfect, just amongst the best we have so far to show you so you must aim to IMPROVE on what you see here!
and so you know, these are the exemplars the exam board chose for the teacher training in the Autumn Term, 2010, so they must think they're good.

When I look at you - Miley Cyrus
Here's the music video:
and here's how she did her evaluation...although the music video itself isnt' the greatest, Megan did work on her own and her evaluation STYLE was greatly admired by the exam board!
NOTE - this is VIDEO! Not stills, not written evaluation like an essay!
