Inquiry is the asking for information, and using inquiry as a skill is crucial in film. This is done by researching and analysing previous texts and examples, as well as personal interests, in search of inspiration for creative and technical elements, and can also be used in pursuit of roles and strategies. Doing this increases understanding of these topics and will be beneficial for creating the finished products, as well as encouraging experimentation.

In film, this can be done by watching films and analysing for the filmmaker’s intentions. Doing this can increase understanding the thought process of the creator’s and the ability to think of what I would do in the role.
