Specification (Evaluative Analysis)

Learners must complete an evaluative analysis of their production of between 1600 and 1800 words and make reference to all short films selected for study from the compilation set by WJEC (at least three short films totalling a minimum of 80 minutes).

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 visual/audio elements of other professionally produced films or screenplays, including short films, influenced their short film or screenplay.

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 at least one of the short films studied.

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.

Note: all short films selected for study from the set compilation (at least three short films totalling a minimum of 80 minutes) must be considered in the evaluative analysis and must be listed on the cover sheet submitted to WJEC.
