About

Coursework is a mandatory part of the Film Studies A-Level.
The project has multiple elements, all of which must be completed:
All elements must be completed individually; group work is not permitted.
All elements must be thoroughly documented in your Production Diary.
Each element will have a completion deadline. Failure to meet deadlines will have an impact on the mark awarded. </aside>

<aside> 📝

Your Production Diary will take the form of a series of correctly categorised blog posts.
Your Production Diary is unique to you: no two Production Diaries will look alike.
The first entry in your Production Diary, titled My Production Brief, should be an explanation of the Production Brief and coursework requirements.
Your Production Diary will go on to document your progress, from Element 1: Research to Element 6: Submission.
Some entries in your production diary are mandatory, some are optional. Decisions about what to include should be informed by the requirements of your particular production. </aside>

Your coursework submission must adhere to every aspect of the Production Brief provided by the exam board.
Failure to adhere to the brief will have an impact on the mark awarded.
You will respond to option (i):
A short film of between 4 and 5 minutes which includes one of the following:
- A narrative which has a distinct genre.
- A narrative which has parallel stories.
- A non-linear narrative.
- A narrator. </aside>

In most cases, all filming will be done with your Film Studies iPad.
In some cases, where successfully justified, alternative cameras may be used.
In all cases, editing will be performed in the Luma Fusion app on your Film Studies iPad.
You are entirely responsible for the safety of your own data prior to Element 6: Submission. Lost footage will not be considered grounds for a deadline extension. Backups are essential.
If alternative equipment is used, you are responsible for storage media and ensuring successful transfer onto your Film Studies iPad for editing.
Some additional equipment is available for loan, at the discretion of the class teacher. </aside>

Each element of your coursework production is deliberately time-limited. Having more time than other candidates would give an unfair advantage.
Marks will therefore be deducted for any element that is not submitted by its deadline. </aside>
