    1200 words. For me, 5 pages. I do three really really long paragraphs (well, not 'paragraphs' as such, but headings - eg. narrative style, music, etc.)

    Ye I find it hard to condense everything I need to say into around 1200 words, is it better to take the approach of a few big paragraphs rather than more smaller paragraphs in this question

    Wow... I write 4 pages and cover 5-6 aspects... In good detail too. Mine are 4 pages with 12 pargraphs roughly.. I find this section of the exam quite easy. One essay tends to fit all because it's just comparing and contrast... Pretty straight forward. Just know the modes.
