Learning objectives UNIT 11 - Scriptwriting for media products

There are 5 Learning Objectives (LO's) for Unit 11, these are as follows:

LO1 = Understand scripted elements in a range of media products 

LO2 = Be able to generate ideas for the scripted element of a media product, in response to a client brief 

LO3 = Be able to produce the scripted element of a media product, in response to a client brief 

LO4 = Be able to present the scripted element to a client for feedback 

LO5 = Be able to revise the scripted element using client feedback 


Of these LO's you can achieve Merit & Distinction marks on LO3 and Merit marks on LO4. The criteria for achieving these are as follows:

LO3 (Merit) = Learners demonstrate proficient writing skills to produce a script with a good narrate structure. The process and conventions used are appropriate for a script. The dialogue is appropriate for the storyline and characters. [You should remember that you have created a script for a documentary and should consider the people interviewed as 'characters', you will also have a 'story' that you are telling.]

LO3 (Distinction) = Learners produce a script that is generally of a high technical standard and quality. They adapt the script for use as a shooting script by adding in camera operator directions.  [This is an area that most, if not all of you have to complete. You will get feedback and guidance on how to alter your first draft accordingly this week, Monday 24th November]

LO4 (Merit) = Learners make purposeful and relevant changes to their script based on the client’s feedback [This means listening to the advice given to you and making changes!]

What you need to do:

Check your work against the checklist and see what you still need to do. If you have work in a notebook it would be helpful if this could be scanned and uploaded to your blog (we can help you with this).
