Maintain a consistent descriptive viewpoint or perspective.

This descriptive writing objective is about keeping the description anchored in a clear viewpoint and consistent perspective. Students should decide who or what is noticing the scene, then keep sensory details, focus and viewpoint consistent across the response. A first-person perspective, a distant narrator and a close focus on one object will each create a different descriptive effect. The key skill is control: the description should not jump between unrelated angles unless the shift is deliberate. In the exam, use viewpoint to organise what the reader sees, hears and feels. A strong response makes perspective part of the meaning, not just a camera angle.
