Production role Critical Analysis Guidance

- 30% Production role Critical analysis (2000 words)
- Alongside the pratical project you will be required to write a 200 word project analysis that details your production role(s)
- Crucially it should include research into studio production and the specific professional role you have undertaken, and how that research informed your actual role and the production
- Think of this as a piece of writing which teaches the reader about your role and uses the experience of this production as anecdotal evidence to illustrate typical tasks, issues and skills
- For this reason it should not wait until the production is completed to be written - it is as much about informing yourself during the production about your methodology and approach as it is a piece of crucial writing
- Show the reader that you can critically evaluate your own work and that you understand Professional approaches and context through a focus on Academic referencing throughout

Documentary unit: Jackie interview

So we could get an outside view on fake fear, we were able to secure an interview with an actual adrenaline junkie, only thing was, she's 73! She was amazing to interview, and her answers were so descriptive, which gave us some area to play around with during the edit. We needed to rearrange the house to better suit an interview, and when we realised that we would have to do that, we were glad that we were filming in one of our own homes instead of Jackie's house, or in a public area, as we then had control over the whole environment. Jackie was a pleasure to interview, as she was very relaxed and had a great sense of humour to match.
