This element is not assessed directly. However, all scriptwriting involves problem solving: what type of character will best convey a particular theme? What plot devices will most effectively propel the story to the next plot point? The effectiveness with which the author has solved problems is evident in the quality of the finished product. |
Research skills |
The element is not assessed directly. However most scripts involve some form of specialized knowledge that the student must research independently. |
