= Assessment = ==== This aspect is worth 50% of the IB Film grade. Open the attachment to see which criteria it is graded to. It is VERY important that you understand this carefully as you MUST check the criteria against your own work to see if your work is able to achieve a high grade. Self-assessment and reflection is a very important part of the IB. So after you think you have finished your work do the following: ====
 * Read it through carefully (watch it through too in the case of your film and trailer)
 * Re-read the assessment criteria and the various bands
 * Self-assess you work. Being COMPLETELY honest, which bands do you think your work falls into? If you are not sure, get a friend to help.
 * Once you have finished grading, ask yourself:
 * How can I make this better?
 * Are there any areas of analysis of explanation missing?
 * Am I proud of this work?
 * Now, edit your work to include the improvements!
 * Wait 24 hours and then complete this process again. A very good piece of work will be edited and adapted and improved AT LEAST three times.
