I have been asked to produce a research report to showcase my understanding of core media skills - and ability to apply them.
The focus of this report will showcase the ‘behind the scenes’ elements of my production work, from research techniques and understanding of legal & ethical issues, to evidence of the ability to critically analyse media texts.
For Informing Ideas I received a Distinction grade. This covers the first 1/3 of the assignment, this covers all the major research types, when researching a specific topic or sector of an industry for example.
I cover what they are, how and where they would be used when informing ideas and examples of when I used the the type of research in my own projects.
For Professional Skills I received a Distinction grade. This covers the second 1/3 of the assignment, during this section of the assignmet I investigate a "controversial advert".
I covered what happened and how the advert seemed controversial, who was invloved within the controversy, what was the outcome of the advert being published, If any ASA codes were broken, if the outocme of the advert was fair and how issues similar to that could be avoided in the future.
For Communication I received a Distinction grade. This covers the final 1/3 of the assignment, during this section I prove the ability to understand and produce a critical reflection of a project I have completed.
I reflect on what went well within the project, what didnt go as well as originally hoped, if I achieved the intended goal, and feedback I gathered from my pears and a responswe to that.
