AS Foundation Portfolio - Coursework Assessment

  You are assessed on three areas:
  • Research and Planning (your blog)
  • Construction (your film)
  • Evaluation (7 questions)

It is important that you follow the guidance on labels for your 'Research and Planning' - see here http://howardschoolmedia.blogspot.co.uk/2012/02/labels-as-foundation-portfolio.html

Don't forget that if your film is on Youtube then it needs to be 'public access' and not 'private' so anyone can view it.  Your preliminary film also needs to available on your blog to view.

Your evaluations must cover all 7 questions.  Whatever you do, don't miss out any questions, even if that means having to answer one in a way other than how I have advised.  

Your evaluations should come under the label 'Evaluation' on the blog.  The title for the post is 'Evaluation - your name'.  All your questions should come under one post.  So, if there are three people in the group, there will be three separate posts each with seven questions answered.  There should be no other posts with the 'Evaluation' label on the blog.
