This is where you think about your FMP learning journey and development.
Don’t simply describe what you did - consider what you have learnt and how this has benefitted
your project. What do you need to improve?
THIS IS JUST GUIDANCE THAT YOU NEED TO ADAPT TO YOUR OWN PROJECT. YOU HAVE CREATED YOUR
OWN PRODUCTION SCHEDULES AND YOUR WEEKLY BLOGS SHOULD REFELCT THAT.
THESE QUESTIONS SHOULD BE ADDRESSED IN THE WEEKS YOU COMPLETED THEM. DO NOT JUST SUBMIT THIS
FORM FILLED IN FOR YOUR WEEKLY BLOGS. THERE SHOULD BE 11 WEEKLY BLOG ENTRIES (INCLUDING
EASTER).
CONTEXT
How did you find coming up At the beginning of this week I began generating ideas for my Final
with an idea that challenged Major Project. I knew from the very start that I wanted to produce three
you enough for your FMP? simple Ideas that would allow me to work creatively while also
challenging me to produce my best work possible. The main challenge I
faced during this process was coming up with three very different ideas.
I wanted the ideas I produced to differ from one another to give myself
a lot of range and to let me choose the one I felt was right for me. I
knew straight away that I wanted to produce a short film as the work I
am most proud of from the previous unit was my short film from Units 1 -
4. I feel this is because I used a simple idea and was able to create a
piece of work that clearly communicated my message and had an
easy to follow narrative. This is something I wanted to replicate within my
FMP.
At the beginning I only had one Idea in mind, and I then had to
develop another two. I felt as though if I came up with an idea that was
overly complicated I would risk more difficulty further along in the
production stages. I was worried that doing this would limit my standard
of work and I would end up wasting time trying to understand my idea
instead of working on them.
I decided to produce a mind map and took the time to develop each
idea individually. Within these I considered how each idea would
challenge me both positively and negatively. I looked into what would
be hard about each idea, and how this would impact my final product.
This helped me a lot when choosing my final idea as I was able to
understand which ideas would prevent me from achieving the standard
of work I desired and which ones would challenge me so that I could
produce something I was proud of.
How has writing a proposal When writing my proposal I was required to consider my goals and
helped you with finalising ambitions for both my Final Major Project and in the future. Writing the
your idea? proposal has allowed me to understand what I need to do to achieve a
high standard of work.
The second section of the proposal, and the longest, was the project
concept. This was where I was really required to consider my idea for
the unit and to finalise some of the much finer details. Within this section
I described the concept I had chosen and my aims for the project
overall. I took this as a chance to discuss my plans for the research
element of the unit and how it would impact my production. For
example, I want to look into different types of obsessive personalities
and how they develop to ensure that my work is as accurate as
possible. I feel this process will be essential to producing a high standard
product and by writing my proposal I was able to reflect on this and
begin planning which resources I would use, alongside which questions
my research would answer. The project concept portion of my proposal
also asked me to explain what I hoped to achieve as an end product.
This element of the proposal allowed me the chance to consider the
smaller detail involved. For example, I was able to come to decide that
I wanted my short film to be between 6-8 minutes long and that I
planned to use mise-en-scène to communicate my message and
narrative as clearly as possible.
The final part of the proposal was the evaluation. This asked me to
consider how I will document my progress throughout the production
stages and how I anticipate my ideas to change. I took this opportunity
to highlight my weekly blog. It also helped me conclude that I will use
my evaluations to review on whether I have met my goals for the week.
It will also provide me with the opportunity to reflect on any mistakes I
have made that week and how I will work to fix and avoid them in my
future work.
How did the feedback help Once I had decided on my three ideas I put them into a survey. The
you adapt your idea – what survey included a brief explanation of each of my ideas followed by a
did you change after comment box. This allowed my audience and peers to provide
feedback? feedback on each idea and provided me with an insight into what they
wanted from a short film. The beginning of the survey asked their age
and gender which let me collect quantitative data and understand
what certain demographics felt about each idea. The survey was
completely anonymous which encouraged my audience to answer
each question as truthfully as possible. At the end I asked my
respondents to choose their favourite ideas.
