v What UAL look for in the work

Ø Continuous assessment of own work (weekly evaluations)

Ø Improvements – NEVER get rid of trials / practice / first attempts – they want to see
improvements.
Ø Relevant research – research MUST link to production otherwise it fails (even if it is
detailed)
Ø Evaluations: Must look back on feedback, how you could improve and what you will
do to fix the situations
Ø Issues faced: How you overcame them – professional working practice
Ø Productions: Creative, use of correct conventions and how suited it is to the target
audience
