Q1A GUIDE

There's a PowerPoint (an adaptation of Mr McGoogan's superb work) and a Word doc which collates much of the content of the individual posts on each of DCRUP.
Key is to remember this is about progression from AS to A2, but also to weave in some theory. The more artificially you use theory the lower marks for it will be; at the top end you apply it relevantly and accurately, and also offer some critique of the theory. You must try to be specific to get Use of Examples marks: not just 'I used YouTube for audience feedback', but 'our 2nd rough cut received 143 hits, which YouTube's 'analytics' tool told us came from the US, Australia, even as far afield as Saudia Arabia, though the comments we received were actually of limited use'.
Web 2.0 is utterly central, whilst postmodern theory is useful across all 5 DCRUP.
