Component 1 Example Candidate Response - Middle (supporting studies)
Examiner comments
The candidate presents photographs that record their travels. The photographs feature specific lighting conditions or compositional elements. The photographs and accompanying text effectively communicate the candidate’s intentions and demonstrates
their ability to review and refine ideas.
In one of the photographs, the candidate describes how the combination of interior and exterior lighting provides definition and detail to the building. In another photograph, the candidate describes the device of “leading lines”
to draw the viewer’s attention to the distant figures. In the third photograph, a simple compositional device, in the form of horizontal rows, is described.
The candidate provides valid descriptions of the work and demonstrates reflective thinking. This is rewarded in AO2 and AO4.
