The statement of intent:

You must complete a Statement of Intent that outlines your aims for your cross-media production. This will be assessed with the products and will allow you to explain the ways in which you will apply knowledge and understanding of media language and media representation to your products, how your products will target the intended audience, reflect the industry context they are created for and how you will exploit the opportunities for digital
convergence between the products.
This is a compulsory element of the non-exam assessment and you must complete the Statement of Intent using a maximum of 500 words. There is a template at the end of the NEA booklet for you to complete.
If you only complete a Statement of Intent but no production work, then you will be awarded a mark of zero.

Students will be expected to complete and submit a statement of intent which includes:

1. their interpretation of the brief,
2. the research they have done,
3. how that research has informed their ideas and
4. the strength of the ideas they have developed.
5. how they have applied their knowledge and understanding of the theoretical framework to their media product.

This must be submitted to AQA with the media product. This Statement of Intent should be a maximum of 500 words long. The template for the Statement of Intent will be supplied by AQA in the NEA Student Booklet along with the briefs.
