This document provides guidance for writing a critical reflection on a creative work. It recommends focusing on micro features of the work and stating how they are used to encourage a particular audience interpretation of a scene and elicit specific feelings, such as suspense, fear, or intrigue. Elements should not be left to chance but intentionally included to communicate something to the audience.

1. Writing the Critical Reflection

3. • Focus on MICRO features
• State ways MICRO features are encourage the audience
to interpret the scene in a particular way
• State how you want the audience to ‘feel’ during the
sequence (e.g. suspenseful, scared, intrigued)
• Be clear that nothing in your project is left to chance –
every MICRO element serves a purpose and
communicates ‘something’ to the audience
