  • Contents page Must haves ! :

    Your overall brief is :
    1. A promotion package for the release of an album, to include a music promo video, together
    with two of the following three options:
    • a website homepage for the band;
    • a digipak for the album’s release;
    • a magazine advertisement for the digipak.

    They are worth 10 marks each (of your overall mark out of 100).

    “Within the section of the main task, centres should consider the relationship between the tasks and ensure that a sense of brand identity across the package is evident”

    Level 4 (9 – 10 marks)
    The candidate is expected to demonstrate excellence in the creative use of most of the following technical skills:
    • shooting material appropriate to the task set; including controlled use of the camera, attention to framing, variety of shot sizes and close attention to mise en scene
    • editing so that meaning is apparent to the viewer and making selective and appropriate use of shot transitions, captions and other effects
    • recording and editing sound with images appropriately.


    Where a candidate has worked in a group, an excellent contribution to construction is evident.

    There are some examples of student work below, although not necessarily level 4 stuff !
