Pre-production

Hello first year students,


Reminder deadline for pre-production is 04/12/15 any uploads to the blog after this day will not be marked.


Mark scheme




 1.Present pre-production to a quality that reflects near professional standard.

–This can be done on-line via a blog, in a A4 ring-binder (with a contents page). All work should be word processed (storyboard excluded) and should be presented to the best of your ability.

2.Generate throughout and comprehensively detailed pre-production.

–This can be achieved through completing the full amount of pre-production dependent on your independent project. We will cover this on the following slide.

3.Apply pre-production to a specific media production.

–Ensuring that the pre-production matches up to your production. There should be similarities present and it should be obvious that you have followed your pre-production when creating your product.
