Filming your practical evidence

Candidates will need to provide video evidence of their participation for any sport or activity that cannot be assessed at school. Candidates may also wish to hand in video evidence that shows them performing to a higher standard than observed at school.

The submission deadline for video evidence is the end of February for year 11 students.

Please see the specification page for the assessment criteria for each sport and activity.

The video evidence will need to be made up of two parts:

Part 1 - Skills:

The video should show the candidate carrying out drills and exercises to showcase their skills as stated on the assessment criteria.

These drills should increase in challenge and difficulty. This could be completed in isolation, or this could be incorporated into club / team training, if coaches will allow this - please do ask if the coaches will support this. For most team games, we would need to see a decision making activity such as a 4v2, 4v3 or 3v2 scenario, not just the skills in isolation. There needs to be enough examples to prove their ability is more than just a 'one off'. Please avoid creating a video of highlights. It is preferred that there is continuous footage (even if there is evidence of errors - Even the world's best make some errors!)

Part 2 - Full context:

We need as much footage as possible of the candidate completing the full context of their sport in a competitive environment. This could be matches, competitions and meets for example. However, it is extremely important not to create a video of highlights and 'best bits'. We need a full account of the game/activity with continuous footage where possible - sadly this must include good bits and any errors! We know filming the full context can be extremely difficult for certain sports and activities. Please do get in touch if you would like to discuss this further - For more guidance please see the workshop presention below.

General tips and moderator feedback:

Our moderator has asked that our candidates make themselves clearly identifiable in the video and where possible wear a bib or different colour clothing. This may be difficult for some matches and activities but please do ask the coach, leader or officials.
Candidates need to be recorded stating their name, school and candidate number at the start of the video.
Using a tripod can help to make the recording clearer. We are happy to lend a tripod if you would like to borrow one.
For long videos of Part 2 footage, the moderator has asked for an accompanying written commentary highlighting the candidates involvement with a time stamp. For example: Time into video: 7 min 35s, Candidate A dribbles past a defender and passes the ball to the striker for a shot on goal. 8 min 22s Candidate A chases down a defende to make a tackle.
Please ensure the evidence shows enough increase in challenge or difficulty.

GCSE PE AV footage workshop

Parents & Carers practical filming guidance workshop, June 04 2024

This is the presentation that was used to share guidance of what is needed for filming practical footage. There are some examples of what is required for some of the summer seasonal sports (Golf and Cricket in particular)

Practical evidence submission

Examples of video evidence

Please read the commentary underneath the video for further guidance and feedback for each video.

Amelia Macfarlane Breastroke and Crawl

Example of Swimming evidence

This is a great example to follow.

A really clear example of progressive drills for Part one. The drills get increasingly more difficult. The video clearly shows all skills listed on the assessment criteria.

Part two The candidate is clearly identified and race footage gives examples in more than one meet. A very good example.

Example of Rugby Union evidence

This shows a range of skills for Part one. We would advise inclucing drills that have 3v2 or 4v2 to show decision making as well as the execution of skills. The skill drills should increase in challenge and demand.

There is evidence of Part two but this is a series of clips and highlights. The moderator has advised this needs to be unedited, continuous footage with accompanying written commentary of involvement.

Example of Table Tennis evidence

Part one - There is very clear and thorough progression of drills throughout Part one of the Assessment criteria.

However, for Part two (the full context) we only see the candidate play one person. A variety of opponents would help to make a more accurate assessment.

Alice Tidnam Skiing

Example of Skiing video

This is a great example to follow.

Part one - The candidate does an excellent job of indentifying herself to the camera in her Skiing apparel. The video shows lots of examples of the skills laid out on the skiing specification. There is an obvious increase in challenge and difficulty.

Part two - The full context, whilst good, the slalom route needed to be a little more complex to push the candidate to show her being challenged further.

Example of Sculling evidence

This is a great example to follow

Part one - skills. The video makes it really clear what drills are being used. In some clips there is an arrow identifying the candidate, this is highly recommended. The drills increase in challenge and demand. Once the skill drills have been demonstrated the condidate then shows their changes of paces/rate of stroke.

Part two Full context - The candidate shows races in their evidence. Footage one is in a quad and footage two is in a double. We as a department can watch both but can only submit one piece of evidence should the moderator call it for moderation.

One suggestion for improvement is to have the introduction video added at the start where the candidate introduces themself in the clothes they are wearing in the video, stating the school name, centre number and candidate number (if known).

Example of Hockey Goalkeeping

Part one is well evidence with a series of drills that progress and increase in difficulty and challenge.

The Part two footage is a series of clips and edits. Please try and film the performance in its entirity avoiding a series of highlights. We need to see an honest account of performance and not just the 'best bits'

GOLF ALEX BOCQUET GCSE Low.mov

Example of Golf evidence

This is a great example to follow.

Part one - A clear introduction of the candidate . the video shows a range of unedited shots by the candidate. There is an extensive variety or shots from the driving range, green and rescue shots.

Part two - This again is of an excellent quality. The candidate has recorded the full game without pauses or edits. Please ensure the camera keeps filming the shot, if possible, the ball landing and the full walk to find the ball. The canidate clearly explains the type of shot they want to play based on the lie of the ball, position to the green and awareness of any obstacles. For example "There is 80 yards to the front of the green. The wind is pushing left. I am going to use the pitching wedge with 60% power and aim slightly to the right of the flag."

Link to Golf specification

Example of Athletics evidence

The video starts with Part two. The part two footage is very good. The video states the race/meet and the candidate is clearly identified by stating what lane they are using. The u13s footage is not usuable as footage can only be used whilst the candidate is on the GCSE PE course (Year 10+11 only)

The Part one footage is very limited. There is only one video in slow motion. Although this does show the start and flight of the hurdle, it is only one example. Candidates would need to film evidence of a range of drills that are progressive. To be assessed in athletics, the candidate must be assessed in any two events.

Alex Bocquet Cricket Low 01.mov

Example of Cricket evidence

This is a great example to follow.

The candidate introduces himself to the camera and lists the school and candidate number.

Part one (skills) The video showcases the candidates skills against the criteria (Batting attacking and defensive, bowling, catching, fielding and throwing. (Or wicket keeping skills if a wicket keeper.) This video has a good range of skills and drills filmed from different perspectives.

Part two can only be footage from one match. The camera needs to continue filming each of the candidates whole overs if bowling and continue filming for all of the time the candidate is batting. This video does an excellent job of identifying key elements of the game with continued footage.
