M2:
learners will produce a narrative with some imagination and produce competent plans for production.
They will produce pre-production plans which are realistic and effective. Scripts and treatments will use appropriate formats.
Production schedules will be competently organised with realistic deadlines and some
contingency planning. Risk assessments will be realistic and contain some detail.
The narrative will show imagination in both, or either, content and form. The standard harmony-disruption-harmony structure might be used, but a story might have a twist that engages the audience, or narrative structures might use non-linear techniques to tell the story. However, aesthetic issues, such as location, ambient sound and lighting will not be fully explored.
M3:
learners will produce a single camera product to a good technical standard. They will show confidence and facility in their use of the equipment. The work will have been approached methodically and thoughtfully.
The product will show some imagination in its realisation with some evidence of experimentation in both editing and cinematography. For example, the use of high and low angle shots, showing vulnerability and dominance, will be used appropriately within the narrative. A mixture of shot sizes will be used to generate interest and create meaning. The lap-dissolve might be used as an appropriate alternative to the cut.
Attempts to use lighting as a method of generating mood, atmosphere or meaning might be apparent, but may be limited to certain shots, rather than being employed consistently throughout the production.
M2 and M3:
learners will still be working within recognisable generic conventions, but there will be some imaginative thought behind the work so that technical skills and codes and conventions will be employed with some inventiveness. When engaged in practical activities, learners will need little assistance, though typically they will still need some support when dealing with more complex technology or trying to apply more sophisticated techniques.
D2:
learners will produce creative scripts and plans that reflect professional practice. Pre-production
paperwork will be well organised showing good resource management and anticipation of potential difficulties.
Production schedules will be detailed and set realistic deadlines. Scripts and storyboards will be carefully prepared and thoroughly thought out. Contingency plans will be in place to cover unforeseen circumstances.
Risk assessments will be detailed taking into account all health and safety issues and addressing them properly. Aesthetic considerations will also be detailed, taking into account the fitness for purpose of all the locations used.
Alternative narrative structures might be used with flair to produce interesting or different formats.
D3:
learners will produce a finished product the technical quality of which reflects near-professional practice:
Cinematography, in terms of image size, camera angle and movement will be creative
and fluent.
Varied editing techniques, such as cross-cutting and montage, will be thoughtfully used to inform
the narrative and in such a way that the intention behind the use is clearly meaningful. Any dissolves and transitions will be employed effectively and for a reason that links to the story. Like cinematography, editing will be fluent with very few, if any, continuity errors.
Artificial lighting may be used creatively to generate mood, atmosphere or meaning.
D2 and D3:
learners will apply their technical and creative skills not just with imagination but with ingenuity
and even elegance, and codes and conventions will be used with occasionally surprising results. In all practical activity distinction grade learners will be capable of working autonomously and effectively.
The term ‘working independently’ means that they are able to work on their own initiative, do not need constant support or supervision, give the work their full commitment, work positively and cooperatively with others, and meet deadlines. In other words, they have the kind of self-management skills that would be expected of them in a professional context.
Unit 1: Pre-production Techniques
M2:
documentation will cover all the procedures relevant to the type of production being undertaken in some detail. It will be presented carefully and neatly, and will be organised clearly.
M3:
learners will demonstrate that they can undertake pre-production work that enables the efficient completion of the product. It should be noted that the quality of the resulting product is irrelevant to the assessment of this unit.
D2:
documentation will be comprehensive and thorough with a detailed breakdown of all procedures relevant to the type of production being undertaken. It will be very well-organised and presented to a standard that approaches professional practice.
D3:
learners will be able to apply their pre-production planning to the proposed production to a standard that approaches professional practice, for example, ensuring that all the resources are in the right place at the right time.
Their planning will enable the successful completion of the product
D2 and D3: learners will be capable of using their own initiative, will not need constant support or supervision, will give the work their full commitment, work positively and cooperatively with others, and meet deadlines.
