    1 - Getting Started ~5 mins

    Before you design

    Today you bank M3 KA4. You already chose your film and related text in Lesson 88, and you named 4–5 focal points. If that pair and those points are not locked yet, fix them with your teacher first before you design.

    This lesson is the finish: you design a comparison display, write a one-paragraph closing judgement on which version was more powerful and why, and put together the KA4 Final Pack for your Communication Portfolio.

    Key point

    By the end of this lesson you should have a KA4 pack ready to bank.

    2 - The Brief ~10 mins

    Key point

    A strong comparison display does three jobs: it names both pieces, it shows the same focal points side by side, and it ends on a judgement a stranger could follow.

    TermWhat it means for youReal example
    Comparison displayYour viewer should see the differences without you standing there explainingA noticeboard poster with two columns and a shared middle strip
    JudgementYour closing paragraph has to say why, not only whichChoosing the film because a silent close-up carried what a page of thought did on paper
    PresentationPick the form that fits your focal points, then stick to itA square poster, three slides, or a one-page handout
    Worked example

    Layout shape only. Two columns with a middle strip. Left column holds how one version handles each focal point; right column holds the other version on the same points. The middle strip is labelled “What both keep” and holds two or three shared details. Closing judgement: name which version was more powerful and point to one concrete detail from each side (for example, a held close-up on screen doing the work a short interior monologue did on the page).

    Your display should do the same job for your pair and your focal points from Lesson 88.

    3 - Make Your Comparison Display ~25 mins

    Build your display in the activity below. When it is shaped, save it as a picture with the download button. Then press Enter Your Work at the bottom of this step and fill in the M3 KA4 Final Pack, closing judgement included. Copy the finished pack and the picture of your display into your Communication Portfolio as m3_l89_ka4_AB, using your own initials in place of AB.

    Bankable minimum

    Film title, related text title, presentation medium, your 4–5 focal points on the display, where the finished display lives, and a closing judgement with at least one concrete detail from each version.

    Your film and text comparison display

    4 - Hold It Up: Poster in Words ~12 mins

    Note

    Only start this once your KA4 pack is saved, or if your teacher says there is time left.

    Whatever medium you built (poster, slides, or a one-page document), describe that same comparison as if it were a single corridor poster. This is useful practice for the kind of descriptive and analytical response the written examination may require.

    Describe the poster version of your comparison
