Submission checklist
- Final MP4 and, for interactive projects, a zipped working site.
- Publisher folio PDF and editable source, with brief, development, tests and evaluation.
- Designer/Photo sources, Blender .blend and textures, Premiere .prproj, After Effects .aep and Audition .sesx with linked media.
- Captions or transcript where needed, credits, asset register and individual evidence.
- Reopen collected projects to check for missing media. Submit through your teacher’s school LMS assignment.
Assessed outcomes: CMT5-COM-01, CMT5-DES-02, CMT5-USE-01, CMT5-ENV-01, CMT5-PMP-01, CMT5-IET-01. Your issued notification governs the assessment.
Marking standard guide
Outstanding: controlled production and perceptive decisions. High: effective work and reasoned improvements. Sound: functional work and an appropriate explanation. Basic: partial production and limited justification. Limited: fragmented work with little usable process evidence. These are quality descriptions, not fixed percentage bands. See the notification for the full rubric.

YOUR PROJECT FILES
Start with a clear plan
The kit contains the brief, storyboard, production planner, asset register, test log and folio writing scaffold.
Download project kit ↓Folio and starter files
Build the native folio in Publisher using master pages and styles. The included scaffold provides the writing structure; a native .afpub teacher template remains a planned asset.
Interactive HTML starter for exhibition, campaign and capstone projects.
Support and challenge
Starting check: Give users a campaign question and observe whether the prototype helps them answer it; separate visual appeal from task success.
Need a scaffold? Provide accessible component examples, interview prompts and individual milestones; assign meaningful work in every software ecosystem.
Ready to extend? Improve task completion while reducing transfer size by a justified target; preserve captions and keyboard access.
Ask your teacher about captions, visual instructions, accessible equipment or supervised software access. Safety and ethical production apply throughout.
