Divya,
ReplyDeleteA mixed first peice of AS level work. It is fundemental that you answer all elements of a task to the best of your ability in order to attain the highest grade possible.
Sections 1 + 2 are very strong. However, section 3 does not offer details on all the countries the film was distributed in. I would also expect a clearer explanation of the film's appeal in section 4 when discussing Romford Vue (characters, actors, storyline, themes, specific audience) and also more detail on the available home exhibition formats. Finally, there is no discussion of section 5.
See me after class on Monday
