  1. Try to comment on each video, Cameron. This will be evidence of you really understanding the different elements of 'Action' in R.A.D.S - pick out key words which you can find evidence of in the videos. This will help you to meet the Distinction criteria. In your own videos, make sure that your analysis are really detailed; just describing what you did will only hit the Pass criteria. (make sure you use the subject specific vocab too!)
