EVALUATION
TEMPLATE AND GUIDANCE
The Evaluative Analysis
Learners must complete an evaluative analysis of their production of between 1600 and 1800 words and make reference to at least three short films totalling a minimum of 80 minutes from the set compilation.
The evaluative analysis will include:
• narrative structure of the short film – an analysis of how the narrative features and dramatic qualities of all short films studied are constructed, including through dialogue, highlighting key ideas which informed learners' own production
• cinematic influences – an analysis of how key visual/audio elements of other
professionally produced films or screenplays, including short films studied, influenced their short film
• creating meaning and effect – an evaluative analysis of how their production
creates meanings and generates responses for the spectator in relation to other
professionally produced films or screenplays, including short films.
Note at least three short films totalling a minimum of 80 minutes from the set
compliation must be considered in the evaluative analysis and must be listed on the coversheet submitted to WJEC. As set out in the production brief, learners must submit the evaluative analysis in the form of extended writing (which may include sub-headings). It must be word-processed and may be illustrated with screen shots or screenplay extracts. Screenplay extracts used to illustrate the evaluative analysis are excluded from the word count of 1600-1800 words.
