coursework set brief

 The CAIE examination is divided into two distinct components. The initial component comprises the foundation portfolio, while the subsequent component focuses on media text and context analysis.

To provide further detail, the foundation portfolio's first section includes a film opener designed to last two minutes, which is allocated a total of fifty marks. This segment is expected to encompass elements such as the opening title, character introductions, shot composition, narrative structure, thematic riddles, and the overall setting. Students are encouraged to utilize Adobe Premiere Pro for the creation of this film introduction. Evaluation criteria will include editing techniques, camera operation, mise-en-scène, and sound design.

The second component of the examination, which also carries a weight of fifty marks, is dedicated to media text and context analysis. During this segment, candidates will view a five-minute excerpt from an undisclosed film, which will be presented approximately four times. Participants are required to employ the technical terminology learned throughout the course to analyze the excerpt, focusing on both micro and macro aspects of filmmaking. The assessment will evaluate students' understanding and ability to interpret elements such as representation, editing, mise-en-scène, sound, and camera work as demonstrated in the provided clip, all within a written essay format.
