Section A Q1a: Digital Technology + Creativity

Part 1:


You have 30 minutes to write a plan and answer for this question. 

Describe how you developed your skills in the use of digital technology for media production and evaluate how these skills contributed to your creative decision making. Refer to a range of examples in your answer to show these skills.

You may NOT use your notes to make your plan and answer this question.


You may want to use the below essay structure as suggested by OCR:
Paragraph 1:  Should be an introduction which explains which projects you did. It can be quite short.
Paragraph 2: Should pick up the skill area and perhaps suggest something about your starting point with it- what skills did you have already and how were these illustrated. Use a detailed example.
Paragraph 3: Should talk through your use of that skill in early projects and what you learned and developed through these. Again there should be detailed examples to support all that you say.
Paragraph 4: Should go on to demonstrate how the skill developed in later projects, again backed by detailed examples, and reflecting back on how this represents a move forward for you from your earlier position.
Paragraph 5: Short conclusion
 
Remember it's only half an hour and you need to use examples from BOTH your AS and A2 coursework.

 Part 2:

Pass your essay to another person, NOT your neighbour or friend and NOT someone who has already marked your work this week.

You have 20 minutes to mark their essay according to the mark scheme below.

You should:

  • Give the essay a level
  • Write down 2 things they have done well
  • Write down 2 things they can improve upon
Although there is not example answer for this essay you have seen Level 3 and 4 answers before and you should know what level your work is currently sitting at. You have also marked at least 2 other essays this week. These experiences should help you mark this essay correctly.  























Part 3:

Look at the notes you made on these topics over Easter (digital technology and creativity), were there any examples or points that you missed from your notes that you should have included. 
Where would you include these examples in your essay?
In a different colour mark where you would put these examples in and how you would improve your essay.
How do you plan to remember to include these points in your essay in the future?


Part 4:
Look at the levels and comments on the essay you have completed today. How does this differ from the level you were given at the beginning of the week?

What improvements have you made from the beginning of the week?
Has your level/mark gone up or down at all?
What can you do to further improve your work?
