ReplyDeleteSome good information here, however for the Merit you must explain it to show your understanding of Purpose
So you will need greater detail in relation to the clips/examples to explain specifically how they were influenced/how they developed and broke the rules and then why this was (your article research)
Otherwise most of this is not applied to show that you can recognise Techniques and explain Purposes (of which there are 5)
Merit
ReplyDeleteMostly factual but contains some explanation of how they used and developed editing, though the examples are not detailed for higher.
Argument is undeveloped in terms of stylistic and political contexts of why these editing styles developed and could be expanded on.
