Why? Because Section A is a theoretical evaluation of decision making and progress in making your Foundation and Advanced Productions; Section B explores and puts into context one finished production.
Now is the time to be practising your analysis of your methods and your reasons. (Not merely describing but ANALYSING). You can kill two birds with one stone by reporting critically as you blog rather than merely describing. Look below!
In the 2015 Examiner's Report to Centres, it clearly advises that level 4 answers link research /real media texts to your outcomes.That means identifying specific techniques, approaches, examples of camerawork or editing, use of social media or distribution methods, soundtrack (and so on) to your own good practices, methods or way of working. You made a film trailer, radio trailer, poster? Show exactly how yours uses comparable methods, tropes, semiotics to a successful professional production.
Section A question 1b) requires theoretical frameworks. As you look back at your research and planning sections and forward through your construction and evaluation sections, compose your English expression with an awareness of the needs of your summer exam. This means writing objectively about your production as if it were someone else's text, drawing on narrative theory, theories about representation, using formal media terminology, awareness of audience theory, genre terminology and so on.
