1. ASSIGNMENT 1: A2
COURSEWORK
ANALYSIS

2. The pieces of work I will analyse
are:
1. The Right to be Colorful By Alexa R,
Rafaella and Dafne
2. How youths are portrayed in the Media By
Alexa M, Kayleigh and Haven

3. My thoughts of the coursework
The Right to be Colorful
WWW: great archival images and footage
good technical skill in graphs/statistics
extremely informative
EBI: not much insight on theories
not many interviews

4.  How youths are portrayed in the media
WWW: range of interviewees
good range of archival images
EBI: fix sound
range of camera shots/angles

5. The most effective documentary
The sound is really good,
the presenter can still be
heard even though there
is background music
Interesting images
relating to the topic
being discussed

6. Timeline effect used to show
statistics with a good use of
voiceover throughout
Political archival footage

7. Good use of stop start
animation for graph

8. A less effective documentary
Background
music was too
loud
Archival images were
too fast, viewers didn’t
get the chance to see it
properly

9. Lack of variety in
camera shots

10. What I learnt from analysing last
year’s coursework
 Sound is a key element as even the best, reliable
information won’t be effective if the sound is
disturbed or minimal.
 Must have a range of interviewees, public and
professional figures.
 The coursework analysis will help me next year as
I know now the common mistakes to avoid and
the great features to include in my coursework.
