From the feedback i received for my Dredd essay , i know i need to improve on not drifting into a film review and sticking on track with an essay , i need to do less explaining with what the film is about and go into more detail about facts , figures and statistics . Also i need to focus on linking back to the question and be more specific on certain things like CGI etc.
