This document provides feedback on areas for improvement. It notes that evaluations will depend on how well tasks are completed, not just whether they are done. It suggests discussing the benefits of internet research over physical research, describing how an SLR camera impacted production ideas, and the advantages of email over traditional communication. Examiners rely solely on the details provided, so more evidence of research and sticking closely to the assigned topic are important.

1. The following comments provide insight into areas that can be improved. Remember
your score for research and planning, evaluation and summer exams depend not on
whether you have completed the task but how well it is completed. You can find an
exemplar script on the G325 Critical Perspectives Blog (see below)

5. G325 Feedback
• To be honest these findings only count if you can make it quickly clear how it informed your
song choice. The main aim of this question is to discuss the making of the video and ancillary
tasks
• Talk about the Internet instead. What benefits did carrying out research using the internet
have over collecting actual album covers? Try to give a minimum of 3 benefits
• How did using a SLR camera impact on your production ideas? Give key moments taken from
your production
• Unfortunately very little physical evidence of having carried out any research produced. A
discussion about the genre of horror is missing as is your textual analysis results. The
examiner marking your exam question will have no idea about your blog and/or have seen
your film and blog. They rely solely on the details that you provide them in your essay.
• A fair attempt however you must be careful to stick to talking about the stage noted in the
essay question, in this case- planning
• For your findings to be treated as credible the examiner would expect a larger target
audience population. Perhaps a mixture of quantitative and qualitative research
• What benefits did using web services such as Hotmail and Gmail have over more traditional
ways of communicating?
