Require a one-page evidence map with any media submission. Grade the evidence map and the comparison note, not the cinematic quality.
The evidence map works best when it is required before production begins, not attached afterward. A storyboard or script stage gives students the structure to check claims before they commit to filming or editing.
Students who plan with evidence produce stronger media. The evidence map is not a burden on the creative process. It is the intellectual infrastructure that makes the creative work defensible.
Students plan a short explainer poster or video: three claims, one diagram, one proof from data, observation, or text. They compare plan versus final product and circle what changed.
Students create a short video then submit a one-page evidence map comparing what the video suggests with what the evidence actually says. Protects NCEA intent and makes authenticity visible without detection tools.
Is the assessment goal explanation and evidence, or is it accidentally rewarding production polish?
Are visuals generic or teacher-provided rather than identifying real people? Consent and privacy must be considered before any media task begins. Grade the evidence map and the comparison note, not the cinematic quality.
