I am aiming to get a high level 3/Middle level 4 for this unit for both video and audio. For this to happen me and my coursework group will follow and go through the specific things we need to do in order to reach them. Ideally I would like to get into level 4 so I will focus on the set of instructions in level 4 to reach this.
