Construction: Marking Criteria

In this piece of work, in terms of production 40 marks will be allocated to the main task and 10 marks each for the two ancillary tasks.

Within the section of the main task, you should consider the relationship between the tasks and ensure that a sense of brand identity across the package is evident. This should be taken into account at this stage.

The table displays the allocation of marks including the construction of the main task and the supporting pieces of work.

Film/Television/Video
Level 1

Work likely to be unfinished.
There is evidence of minimal ability in the creative use of any of the following technical skills:

 the ability to hold a shot steady;
 framing a shot appropriately;
 using a variety of shot distances as appropriate;
 shooting material appropriate to the task set;
 selecting mise-en-scène;
 editing so that meaning is apparent to the viewer;
 using varied shot transitions, captions and other effects selectively and appropriately;
 using sound with images and editing appropriately.

Where a candidate has worked in a group, there is only minimal evidence of a contribution to construction.

There is evidence of a basic level of ability in the creative use of some of the following technical skills:

 holding a shot steady, where appropriate;
 framing a shot, including and excluding elements as appropriate;
 using a variety of shot distances as appropriate;
 shooting material appropriate to the task set;
 selecting mise-en-scène including colour, figure, lighting, objects and setting;
 editing so that meaning is apparent to the viewer;
 using varied shot transitions, captions and other effects selectively and appropriately for the task set;
 using sound with images and editing appropriately for the task set.

Where a candidate has worked in a group, a basic contribution to construction is evident.
