What research techniques (e.g. using the library, the internet, watching videos, reading info, recces, practises,
plans etc) did you use when completing the assignments in year 10 for Unit 5 (Crime Drama and Music Videos)
and Unit 7 (Festival Bags) ?
I mostly used the internet as it is my most accessible resource it holds a lot of information, it contained all the rescores I
needed to complete my task such as; readable articles, videos, images but i also used the radio as they give a lot of pop
culture, music and filming advice and info.
What research methods (e.g. primary, secondary, qualitative, quantitative) did you use when completing the
assignments in year 10 for Unit 5 (Crime Drama and Music Videos) and Unit 7 (Festival Bags) ?
I mainly used secondary as the main source I used was the chat rooms on the topics and internet articals
concerning the topic.
If you didn’t use some of the methods in year 10, would use you them if you were to do your projects again? How
and why would you do this?
I would use more methods that would be more eye catching and likeable to my audience
How did you collate, store and use the information when researching for your year 10 units? (e.g. did you book
mark key websites? Keep a list of websites used? Print off or save any info for your folders?)
The main way I did this was copying the html into a word document and giving myself a little info helped me define the
sources
