2short Q&A pairs drawn directly from our worked dot-point answer. For full context and worked exam questions, read the parent dot-point page.
What is research into a media form?Show answer
You select one media form, for example short film, photography, narrative podcast, animation or print publication, and research its conventions and possibilities. Useful research covers the codes and conventions of the form, the genres and styles within it, the audiences it reaches, and the production methods practitioners use. Look at existing productions analytically: identify the specific techniques that create the effects you admire, and note how they were likely achieved.
What is documentation that informs the design?Show answer
The point of research and experimentation is to inform your production design, which is the focus of Outcome 3. Your documentation should make the link explicit: each finding should lead to a design decision. For example, a lighting test that produced an unwanted shadow becomes a documented decision to reposition the key light in the planned shoot.
