Component 3 - Does the 1,000–1,500 word count for Supporting Studies include annotations, photo descriptions, photo analysis, expression of intention, and reflection?

The written component of the Supporting Studies can be presented either as a standalone document or integrated within the visual work. The 1,000–1,500 word count should cover the expression of intention as well as ongoing reflection and evaluation of the work produced. However, brief descriptions or annotations—such as captions or short notes accompanying images—are acceptable in addition to the word count and do not need to be included in the total. Including videos as part of the written analysis is also completely fine.descriptions or annotations are acceptable on top of this word limit and do not need to be counted within it. Incorporating videos into the written analysis is also completely fine.
