Magazine Evaluation (Year 11)

You need to answer the following questions in as much detail as possible. This is a very important part of this project.

Answer each question in as much detail as possible. Add examples from all parts of your work.

• How effective was your research into similar magazines and relevant target audiences. What did you learn from your research into these two areas? In what ways did this shape the creation of your magazine?
• What creative decisions did you have to make at the different stages of your magazine production? How did your magazine change as your work progressed?
• How closely does your magazine follow the forms and conventions of existing magazines? Gives examples of real magazines you reference.
• How successful is your finished magazine? What are its strengths and weaknesses?

Candidates offering a written commentary should aim to write between 500–800 words. 

Complete all work in PowerPoint and then add to your folder.

Production Log (Research and Planning) and Evaluation: Magazine

The Production Log

The production log will provide important evidence to the teacher and moderator of the individual
candidate’s role and personal contribution to the production. It must be completed individually and is expected to include the following:

• evidence of research
• evidence of planning, such as outlines, still test shots, sketches and storyboards
• key dates, decisions and deadlines
• a record of the individual candidate’s exact contributions to the production, such as:camerawork, photography, interviews, copywriting, design, audience research, redrafting or editing.

Evaluation

The individual evaluation is to be produced by the candidates under supervised conditions.
The presentation of the evaluation may take the form of any one, or combination, of the following:

• a written commentary
• a slide presentation (PowerPoint, Keynote, Impress)
• a podcast – video and/or audio
• a DVD with extras.

Those candidates offering a written commentary should aim to write between 500–800 words. A slide presentation (which centres may wish to video), should include 10–15 slides. A podcast/DVD with extras should be about 3–5 minutes in length.
