Introduction to the Advanced Portfolio

Evaluate one music video and one film trailer from the list below using the assessment criteria.  What have students done well?  How could they have improved their production work?

As you evaluate the production work consider which brief you think your would find most interesting, and would be able to complete a successful product in relation to.

Summarise your ideas about the strengths and weaknesses of the students' work into a table.

Once you have completed that, using one of the products compare that to a professional music video or trailer.  In what ways are they similar?  How could the student's work be more professional?
