9. Preparing your Answer
1. Start with a list of your creative thought processes, if you weren’t very creative
then say so, discuss what techniques you used to create: Narratives, Camera
Shots, Editing Techniques, Mise-En-Scene and/or Sound. Did you brainstorm with
a partner? Did you find working alone easier creatively? What other things do
you regard as being creative?
2. Now describe what your creative visions were at the start of year 12, tell us how
you felt about being creative – what did you know and what you didn’t?
3. Now discuss how you ACTUALLY WERE creative (in other words were there any
differences between your vision and the real product) Was your use of creativity
exactly the same from Year 12 to Year 13 (hopefully not!) How did your reality
and creative visions become more realistic as time went on?
4. Make sure that when planning any exam answer you bullet point the EXAMPLES.
You need to come up with 10 examples to display your creativity from Year 12
through to Year 13
