1a/b Feedback:
You must start by explaining what your two projects are, otherwise the examiner will not be able to mark it properly. Narrow rage - some examples given but not related to the final productions - eg. you state that you have watched 8 music videos but not stated which ones and how you used your research to make your videos better. Proof read for sense; you compared performance videos with performance videos. Also, you have put a HUGE amount of work into your animatic this year but didn't reflect properly on how this has helped you improve your final product. How is an animatic different from a storyboard? Explain more. You must also reflect on how the final production improve as a result of better R and P. You have only written about 3 aspects of R and P: watching existing text/storyboarding and planning re dates but none of these have clear specific examples which have led to improvements in your final product.
Use more key terminology: demographic/psychographic/ primary/secondary research, questionnaires/focus/groups/semiotics analysis of code and conventions (Bathes), technical terms (lighting terms - low key etc; camera terms - tracking shots, establishing shots; editing terms - shot/reverse shot; editing terms - shot/reverse shot, long takes, montage etc; sound effects, crescendo etc; narrative terms - chronological order, audience terms - polysomic (could be read in many ways) etc.
1b) Clear understanding of theorists and applied well - expand more on Levi-Stauss; try to include a modern film theorist's ideas (Bordwell and Thompson). Write about how your film is not told chronologically - link narrative more explicitly to audience (how you hooked in your viewers). Don't forget Propp is folk tales
Don't write about what you haven't filmed.

Connect your examples and theorists TOM! Your online and historical examples lack specific detail. No real argument or point to your answer.
