Key assessment five: practical key assessment
Key assessment five
Time allotted: 180 minutes
How: Using the allotted time and the footage you have shot so far, use Premiere Pro to edit your footage in a manner which addresses the criteria listed below
Why: The exam board have strongly suggested that students now focus on completing coursework (30% of your overall grade) before any potential further disruption. Additionally, this rough cut you will now submit will form the basis of a contingency measure should any further disruption occur
When: after completing this practical key assessment, you will be emailed a grade reflecting your progress, as well as clear feedback on what you should focus on for your final week of filming (w/c 5th November)
Essential elements – the basics. You need all of these!

- Representations of at least one social group
- Clear structure with an element of narrative (remember, 'narrative' takes many forms...)
- A range of appropriate editing techniques including variation of pace
