Construction Feedback from exam board

• Some outstanding work this year - candidates becoming much more aware of real conventions
• More advanced use of software in use - Premiere Pro, Final Cut (Express and Pro), Audacity, Cubase, Garageband, Photoshop, In Design and Dreamweaver
• At the lower end of the scale, some ver poor work which demonstrated few technical skills
• Music and film briefs still continue to be the most popular briefs - still some issues linked to pace with theses briefs which need furhter work
• Some issues with ballads - you need to make sure your editing is fast paced, don't have any clip lasting longer than 5 seconds really
• Lots of music videos missing performance - heavy reliance of narrative making them more like short films which did not suit the song choice.
• Short films generally successful - less horror films which tended to end up in the woods!
• Handful of centres entering the other tasks
• Often over-generous marking
