No normally it asks two questions either on costume, hair and makeup, lighting and sound, movement, and voice and then you pick one to answer

its not a stupid question and no its not always the same because then people would just learn their answers and get full marks they change it every year but it has to be accessible for all plays so it will be vague
ahh kk thank u shiv xxxx

introduction to what you saw and when and when it was set MAKE IT BRIEF
para 1 : moment 1 have a brief intro to what was happening in the moment with context then delve into details about your vocal and physical skills- justifications
same with another two moments
conclusion brief short - max 45 mins on this essay
In my school we use PETAL structure
P - point
E - “Evidence” / The Quotation
T - Technique (So vocal physical etc)
A - Analysis (why it’s relevent for the extract and play as a whole)
L - link to question
