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)

- 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
