- • Elaboration using a storyboarding or editing template to annotate their creative thinking when refining production processes
- • Elaboration using Viewpoints to develop reflective questions such as “How can I represent a range of views about this issue in my media arts work?”, “What do I need to change in the production processes to create a stronger connection with the audience?”
- • Elaboration exploring styles and representations particular to a country or region to inform their own practice and to develop their understanding of cultural appropriation and representation; for example, exploring the use of media conventions and languages in cartooning genres in Asia.
