Grades awarded
You will be awarded a PASS / MERIT or DISTINCTION (E / C / A) grade at the
end of this accademic year.
Marking process
You will submit your final piece to your marking teachers on Friday 25 th May
Your marking teachers (AJON, SARW & JASH) will mark and feedback at all
stages of the assignment and will award you a FINAL grade at the end. This
feedback may be verbal, emailed or written but it is down to you as the
student to take this on board and change it in due time for ONE more round
of marking.
After this the marking teachers will submit the grades to the Lead IV. Once
these grades have been submitted students are not allowed to work on any
aspect of their project.
The lead Internal verifier (SARW) will then select 50% of students work to verify
to make sure marking is correct and the grades awarded reflect the work
submitted.
The FINAL grade given by the Lead IV (for all aspects other than
presentation/exhibition) the week of the 11th June will be submitted to the
External Verifier by the 15th June 2018.
The external verifier will then come in on the 21st June 2018 (requested) and
assess 10% - 50% of the submissions (at the exhibition) and grant the final grade
(along with a grade for the presentation / exibition) ready for submission to the
exam board on Wednesday 27th June 2018.
It is at this stage you will be told your grade for your UAL
Extended Diploma by your tutors and when you can contact
your university.

Presentation
Exhibition
In order to pass the presentation section of your extended diploma you will
be holding an exhibition for the public, friends and family, the principal and
Senior Leadership Team of The Henley college and the UAL Exam board
(moderator).
This year’s exhibition will be held at The Fire Station Gallery in Henley on
Thames from Wednesday 20th June to Wednesday 27th June 2018
You will be required to promote the event, staff the exhibition and exhibit your
work to the public in a professional manor. Past exhibitions have been held at
the Old Fire Station and The Red Lion Hotel and have always been a
successful end to two years of education at the college.
This year we will be inviting the Henley Standard to attend and like past years
they will advertise your exhibition on their website and in the newspaper with
a potential review at the end of the week.
Context
Be able to initiate and develop a creative media production project proposal.
In producing the project proposal, and in preparing for the project realisation you should
familiarise yourself with Unit 13 of the qualification.
In particular you should understand the assessment and grading criteria which will be used to
determine standards of achievement. (These can be found in the handout given, on
THCVibe or at http://www.arts.ac.uk/media/arts/about-ual/ual-awarding-
body/documents/specs-statements-and-letters/cmpt/l3-cmpt/Digital_L3-Creative-Media-
specification-v7.pdf)
Unit 13 requires you to produce a project proposal of about 500 words, excluding the project
action plan and bibliography. Project proposals should not be so succinct that they do not
address the requirements listed below, nor should they be excessively long and unfocused.
Your project proposal should be sufficiently challenging to ensure you have the best possible
chance of meeting the grading criteria.
The project proposal must be word processed and presented under the headings listed here.
Competition
If you are entering yourself into a competition you need to add the following:
Client
If you have found a client to work for you need to add the following:
1. Name of client
2. Company name (if they have one)
3. Client occupation
4. How you found them
5. An outline of what they want you to produce (written by them with proof of exchange)
6. Deadline they are working to (you still need to meet the official UAL deadline)
7. Any specific rules / requests they have asked for
• Product idea
Research
Be able to use research, analysis and evaluation to develop solutions for a creative
media production project.
You will need to carry out Primary and secondary research on your
specialism, topic, target audience and actors / crew. This research must be
extensive and you must demonstrate your understanding of it by evaluating it
and selecting the important elements that will help you produce the best
production possible.
Research should be transferred to infographics as well as a typed up
evaluation on what you have discovered.
• Evaluation: From the research what have your learnt and how will you
use it in your production – summery in the form of an infographic
• You will need to produce your own pre-production booklet for your final
project.
• It will need to be designed to suit your production, watermarked and look
professional
• You are not permitted to produce your production until your planning has
been signed off by your marking teacher

All storyboards must have written camera angles and instructions (Close up of
door opening with a bang) as well as images Location recces must be filled
out correctly with images you have taken (not downloaded) and the correct
health and safety attached to each location.
You must demonstrate that you have looked at numerous locations before
settling on the final one.
Crew List: This needs to include pictures of actors and who they are going to
play
Your planning must show progression so all scripts / rough storyboards / wrong
locations and even confirmation that someone can’t help must all be
uploaded onto a separate document from the final booklet.
This shows progression and you will gain more marks for this.

As part of your problem solving marks
you need to complete test shoots -
these are to be done during your
planning and pre-production stages. Must include
• Auditioning for roles
The following list is a guide and not • Sound tests
