Evaluation guidance

The AQA specification says that your evaluation should include:

  • how the aims of the production have been met
  • how the product applies appropriate codes and conventions and uses appropriate media language
  • how the product represents people, places or events
  • where and when the product would be exhibited 
  • what regulations and controls might be applied to the product and how these have been taken into consideration
  • the strengths and weaknesses of the product in terms of meeting the needs of its audience.

Regulation and control on the internet

Does Ofcom regulate the internet?

No. The internet is self-regulating, which means individual service providers are responsible for content. 

In addition, websites such as Google offer ‘safe search’ options to allow parents to filter out offensive material. Similarly, YouTube safety mode is used to block videos that might be inappropriate for younger viewers. Would your video be appropriate for children? How did you make sure your video wouldn't be flagged as inappropriate?
