1) Type up your feedback in full (you don't need to write the mark and grade if you want to keep this confidential).
www-strong response for Q1 And 2.
EBI-basic factual errors in Q3,you need to revise the CSP's fully
2) Read the mark scheme for this assessment carefully. Write down the number of marks you achieved for the three questions: _/2; _/4; _/9.
Q1-2
Q2-33
Q3-13) For Question 2 on Chicken, use the mark scheme to identify at least one strategy used to promote Chicken to an audience that you didn't mention in your answer. The key lesson from this question was to make specific reference to the CSP in your answer.
one strategy will be the film festivals
4) Now look at Question 3. Using the mark scheme as a guide, write a paragraph arguing that it is NOT important for the British film industry to make social-realist films like Chicken and that it should concentrate on making bigger-budget movies funded by Hollywood studios.
british film industry should concentrate more on making bigger budget movies funded by Hollywood because these movies are going to make more money and also these movies are big enough to show Britain globally which is a good thing for the british film industry.
5) Finally, cover the other side of the debate. Write a paragraph arguing that it IS important for the British film industry to make social-realist films like Chicken and that such films contribute strongly to the social and cultural influence of the industry. You may also consider how they should be funded here. Use the mark scheme to help you with this.
furthermore it is very important for the British film industry to produce film like chicken because these films help to shoe the world the real culture of Britain and also have a moral message for the society which is not shown in the big movies funded by Hollywood.
