This student received 18 marks out of 20 on their Research and Planning. I think the main reason to why they achieved this grade boundary is because although they only used 4-6 different technology formats they presented the numerous activities they produced on a very good standard and in a very interesting and sophisticated way. 

The main source of technology they used to present this information were: 

1. YouTube
2. Scribd
3. Prezzi
4. Screengrabs  

 Tasks they carried out: 

1. They recreated a scene of a film on YouTube 
2. Preliminary task & evaluation
3. Prop, character and narrative analysis which included screen grabs and film posters
4. Gender representations (male & female) analysis with screen grabs. 
5. Analysed posters
