Research
Good AS coursework is characterised by good research and planning. Students need
to undertake research in a number of areas to allow them to approach their
productions in a knowledgeable way. Students should be able to demonstrate the
outcomes of their research in the planning of their productions; in the productions
themselves and in the evaluation of their own work. Each brief and the tasks provide
‘clues’ to the type of research that would be helpful. The examples below are based
on 2012/13 briefs.
Brief 1
• Students should research successful viral campaigns to look at what may
encourage an audience to ‘pass the message on’
• Students should look at websites to see what can be used to encourage
audience interactivity
