In addition to the quality of my answers I know that the final 20 marks are also given based on the creativity in which I present them.
Having inspected the way that past candidates interpreted the questions, I found that most employed a variety of visual, audio, audiovisual and video mediums for each of the questions. In order for my own evaluation to have a unique feel, I want to stray away from frequently used techniques.
Personally, I think that the visual platform is too basic and could possibly place restrictions on how much detail I can include in my answers. There is a tendency nowadays to overuse the form of a powerpoint or a prezzie and so I would rather avoid it altogether. Plus there is more of a reliance on the images to express meaning, using text as a subsidiary convention. For this reason I don't think that I can demonstrate either enough originality or detail if I were to adopt this medium.
An audio platform has the same simplicity in my opinion. It is essentially a written essay being read aloud, but it could converge effectively with the visual platform to create something like a guided virtual tour. Not only that, but I acknowledge that a use of a non-diegetic narration is creative in that it could be adapted to mimic the style of a radio station or sports commentary.
However for me it is retreading over ground that students in past years have thought of. Although it worked then, I would like to be able to create something that is creative because of its originality.
Process of Elimination
With that in mind there is only one other logical option left: video. I think that by using a video based platform it leaves a lot of unused possibilities in terms of the content and cinematography. With regards to how I will make my content unique, that is the next step.
