Class average: 73% - highest to date.
Strengths
- Editing and sound is much stronger - a clear effort has been made in these areas.
- Excellent and continuous links back to the task.
- More students making reference to representations and stereotypes in society.
- Very well structured.
- More sophisticated and complex responses are emerging eg low key/high key lighting is being used more, rule of thirds and depth of field is being accurately and insightfully analysed.
Areas to consider
- Points and observations are excellent across the board - no one is struggling with terminology. Still elaboration/explanation needed in parts. Remember, if you make a great observation, don't move on until you have fully analysed it.
- Keep remembering my point about solving an equation - ie in this extract, I could see a few people were trying to put the representation of all men in the same box and the same for women which in this extract, is near impossible. Its ok to make a brief sweeping/general statement at the start or the end ie 'overall, women appear to be more manipulative etc' but don't try and force, in this case, all of the same gender into the same points of analysis - this will only result in vague statements which aren't really analytical.
- Vary analysis - don't fall into the trap whereby every piece of evaluation is 'he is in control, she is not', 'he has the power, she does not' etc. This might be true at times and it's ok to include it, but don't overdo. Put a different slant on it eg 'here, through the use of a close up on the woman smirking as her plan falls into place, the female is portrayed as being very manipulative and cunning - she has the man wrapped around her finger which could be said to be a stereotypical representation of females.'
