Sarah Howe, Ben McDonnell & Joshua Phillips also told how doing a masters is different to doing a bachelors degree, the main  difference is a masters  usually  a specialised area one wants to go in to not the overall subject. for example photography a masters degree could be visual communication or a particular area of photography.

they three also  showed of their own creative practices and their collaborated practices which used a variety of media not just photographic but also text ,sound, sculpture and moving images to recreate a memory. The use of different media allows the audience to not only visually see something but with other media allows a audience to feel and hear as will to really immerse the audience into there work.
