What is analysis, not description?Show answer
The marks live in analysis and evaluation. A strong response selects a few significant choices and analyses how each created meaning and impact for the audience, building a line of argument and supporting it with precise detail. A weak response narrates the plot or lists what was on stage. Choosing depth over coverage - analysing a few choices fully rather than mentioning many - is the route to the higher bands.
