ABSTRACT
Creative Approach Give any group of filmmakers the same general subject-even the same general story-and you’ll still end up with films that are very different in style, tone, point of view, focus, and more. These differences describe the approach: how a story is presented on screen. Is it a halfhour special or a 10-hour series? Is the tone humorous? What production elements are used, such as live shooting, recreations, a narrator, time-lapse photography, or animation? Is the program produced quickly and inexpensively, or does it take a more considered approach to both content and the craft of storytelling?
