How'd you all find Section 2? Was it what you prepared for?

I spent the whole weekend writing a feature article :S

naah, the creative was very specific. I had to create a story on the spot. Hopefully the markers see some hidden excellence in my creative that I didn't...

I was prepared, used the second stimulus, think i did well in this, spent the first bit of the exam doing this with full confidence, although i dont know about my story plot line, its a good story for belonging

My creative fit perfectly with quote 1 and the question :D
Weird thing was that I managed to condense 900ish words from my pre-prepared response in 3 pages - probably forgot some lines

Horrible for me.
I did it last and had to change my prepared so much. It was really short, rushed and urgh I feel sorry for the markers reading it.

Same! If it didn't specify an afternoon I would have been fine, lots of mine was at night! Hope I manage a 10/15 :( I'm not holding my breath though. It was terrible.

I liked the creative, I didn't intend to use one of my practise responses but the third quote fit it so well that I did.

I did directly quote the quote though (instead of just basing the idea around it), hope I don't lose marks for that. :/ Also ended up writing in second person.

So relieved it wasn't an interpretative dance or a painting, I was sweating for a bit there.

Seriously though, thought the stimuli were horrible, especially when you had to make it the 'central element' but I think I adapted my story ok. Does anyone know if the picture of the woman was of a particular famous person or just a random picture?

What was the 2nd image about ... with the chairs, work and the bags and stuff? Was it a conflict between choosing to interact (with the bags e.g. like shopping) or working (folders of paper)?

Lol 6 pages... I chose the image with the photo album. It linked prtty well. basically copied and pasted my memorised creative
its Christmas. This guy is lonely. Stares through the Window. Phone rings. Daughter ( from the picture) says he cant make it. Photo alburm. Look at the. Descriptions of daughter. Flashback. Relationship with daughter> conflict. Flashback ends. Daughter comes to his house. So, what do u guys think?

It was a picture of an actress. Can't remember her name though.
