22.D Task 9: Review own production work



Creative Decision - While making it, Artistic, Original, Imaginative


Production - shooting, molding, backdrops, animating, lighting


Post-production - effects, Music, Stop motion 


Outcomes:
3 things you creatively did whilst shooting & why/reasons
3 things you individually contributed towards the production & impact "without this the ident..."

For 2D.P8: learners will describe the decisions made during the production process which led to the final outcome.

Descriptions will cover decisions, revisions and refinements made at different stages within the production process , for example 
research, planning, 
production, 
post-production  e.g.: ‘I decided to film inside and use extra lighting’.

Learners who have worked as part of a team must describe their own individual contribution to the production process.

The learner may describe the technical or aesthetic choices which were made but will not justify or explain why these decisions were made.

For 2D.M7: learners will explain the decisions made during the production process which led to the final outcome.

Explanations will be detailed and will cover significant decisions made at various stages within the production process, for example 
research & planning, 
production, 
post-production 

Learners who have worked as part of a team must explain their own individual contribution to the production process.

The explanation of the final product should consider the original intentions as outlined in the proposal.

The learner should explain the final product in terms of its technical and aesthetic quality, 
its relevance to the target audience and 
its fitness for purpose

At Merit level explanations will be detailed will be illustrated with pertinent examples but there will be little reflection on whether the decisions made were entirely successful or on lessons learnt.
