Learner Response

Evaluation mark: 6/10

Grade: C

WWW: A solid evaluation that uses media terminology effectively and picks out some key strengths and weaknesses in the production. The section towards the end when you identify aspects that communicate characterisation to the audience is by far the strongest. Finally, you’ve also reflected on the production process – this will help with the real MEST2 coursework.

EBI: Overall, I have to be honest and say this is not the level I expected based on your previous track record in Media (including your top-grade Film Language assessment). Your written English is a problem – it’s quite informal and lacks a sharpness and clarity that you need with academic writing. Although this is on your blog, it’s a trial run for the 1,500 word evaluation in March and you’ll need something much more comprehensive and formally written when you complete that. You’ll also need to bring in all the key concepts and plenty of media theory too. Hopefully this exercise has given you a lot to learn and reflect on to help you reach a top A grade later in the year. 

LR: Copy and paste this feedback into a new blogpost and write three specific aspects you will look to improve for the real MEST2 evaluation in March.

• I need to write more formally and more in depth, analysing every detail 
• I need to include media key concepts and link it to the theory 
• The writing needs to be clearer too
