How do you write a rationale? (1 Viewer)

[budfox26]

Ive created a visual representation using billy elliot and my supp. text but now I need to write a 250 word rationale. How do I do this exactly? What am I writing about? Do I need to intro/introduce both texts like an essay? I'm a little confused.

You need to write about:


S- Setting
C- Colour
O- Object
B- Body language
F- Fashion

F- Framing
A- Angle
L- Lighting
S- Shutter spead
E- Editing

Juxtaposition, Vectors, Text, Symbolism, etc.

In your response: yes, you could briefly introduce both texts that you utilised to create the visual representation. From there you need to write how these visual devices convey/ portray what you have selected as the main message(often just the elective description) for the prescribed and related text.

For example from the 2009 standard english paper question 1a was a visual. These were some points discussed very much what you will need to do with the above in my previous post:

*visual metaphor of the home/house at the centre, cradled by the hands

*home/house symbolic of place, family, security, safety and nurturing: a community symbolised in the joining of human hands to support the house/home

*open door of the home/house, symbolic of welcoming: the finger opening the door to the community/home

*many hands combine to support and cradle the house/home

*cradled hands suggests the importance of nurturing of connections: finger is an individual element but is part of a greater whole just as the individual is

*hands as symbols of belonging, acceptance and support

*multi-layered hands building a single supporting structure

*layered hands dominate the visual image specially suggesting that human beings are central to building and sustaining relationships and a sense of ‘home’

*metaphor and symbolism of the connected hands – ‘lending a hand’ as a metaphor for acceptance, support and collaboration

*hands of different ages/generations and races/backgrounds, suggesting the concept of belonging encompasses the need for integration, inter-generational inclusiveness and working together to support and fulfil aspirations to belong

*visual representation of house/home is universally recognisable
