Course Assignment Requirements
The purpose of the assignment is to assess practical application of knowledge and skills from the Units to plan, implement and evaluate a creative production using music technology.
The assignment will be a meaningful and appropriately challenging task requiring challenge and application. The learner will draw on and apply technological and musical skills and knowledge, at an appropriate level, developed through the units of the Course. The creative production may be in any appropriate context, such as (but not limited to) live performance, radio broadcast, composing and sound design for film, TV themes, adverts and computer gaming.
Time will be required for:
♦ preparation for the assignment, which could include considering exemplars and practising required skills
♦ carrying out the stages of the assignment
♦ evaluating the process and completed product
The completed product should clearly demonstrate application of knowledge and skills, at an appropriate level, from each of the three Units of the Course.
The assignment will have 70 marks (70% of the total mark).
Marks will be awarded for:
Planning the production 15 marks
Implementing the production 45 marks
Evaluating the production 10 marks
Evidence should include:
♦ a formal plan for the production, which includes explanations and justifications for all decisions relating to technological and musical aspects of the production (in written, electronic and/or oral form)
♦ the completed audio master
♦ a record of progress through the task (such as an electronic log or diary maintained by the learner)
♦ a short report evaluating the production (in written, electronic and/or oral form)
The assignment must be completed and submitted mid-March
