Give the definitions for Primary research and Secondary research
PRIMARY RESEARCH - new research that is conducted to solve specific issues or to find specific information - provides raw information and first hand evidence (usually conducted by yourself or your team by e.g. surveys)
SECONDARY RESEARCH - Data that has already been found by someone else (usully published too). Provides second hand information and commentary from other researchers (e.g. websites are a form of secondary research)
What is the difference between shooting scripts and screenplays

Discuss the responsibilities that project leaders hold when it comes to production work within the film and tv industry.
- making the timelines and adding points to a workplan when certain things within the project need to be completed. They need to make sure that as the project goes on, they are getting certain tasks done within a set time so that the deadline can be met.
- working closely with the film makers and communications team. They work closely with the film makers to make sure that everything is running smoothly and that any issues that come can be sorted and fixed in a time-efficient manner so the film can meet the deadline. They also have to work closely with communications to make sure that the distribution of the film is reaching the right audience that they targeted the product towards.
Describe how the responsibilities and interdependencies of commissioning bodies help to develop film and television products
- helping set out a budget and working around money. When they work with the finance side of the production, they can help set out a budget and how much money things would cost to produce this film and pay workers involved. This can then help commissioning bodies decide what films can be made that can work within the funding that they have.
- being able to communicate effectively. Commissioning bodies and commissioners work very closely with the main producers, directors and casting directors and by being able to communicate well, the directors, producers and casting directors are able to fully understand what is wanted by the commissioning body and can then efficiently and effectively put it into action
What are potential drawbacks of using primary research?
could be very time consuming. This is due to the media practitioner having to go out and collect data that has not been collected before (not secondary research using websites and other places that contain already found information). This is a drawback because the whole project is supposed to be time-efficient so spending a lot of on primary research could interrupt the amount of time it was planned to take.
could be biased. This is because the information that you gather is coming from someone or something who may be biased and alter their answer to suit their own opinions or beliefs, which could affect the overall result of the research gathered. You would need to find unbiased answers for your research (unless the point is to collect biased opinion from different people).
