WEEKLY JOURNALS

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).

Week Ten – Final production

EDITING

Did you finish your production on Yes, I met my hand in. it took me a while but with effort and
time? persistence I managed to get it handed in on time.

How did you gain feedback? Was this

the feedback was very effective and also helpful. The
feedback told me things I got wrong and things I got right, I

predicted people picked up on my shaky camera and out of
focus shots. I now have figured out the reasoning behind these
error, The small display screen on the camera might look
focussed, but in reality is it not, I need to keep an eye on my
camera screen and make sure it isn’t telling me that it’s
focussed when it is not.

How did your work compare to Comparing my work to professional productions was a little
professional productions? uneasy, seeing all things they do right and looking back at my
productions and seeing where I failed tells that I really could
have done better.

Even though I have done the best of my ability, comparing

various aspects of million dollar production belittles me quite a
bit.

Have you completed your final As of now I am ¾ of the way through it. I still have things to do
evaluation? on the document, I think I can get it done in due time. I have
done most of task 2 and 3, halfway through task 4 and have
not done task 5 yet.

Are you on track this week? If not, I still need to do my evaluation, and my character profiles, but
how far behind are you? that’s it.

What work do you need to complete I can do these at home and in lessons without any distractions.

planning, idea development and the production of your poster and film trailer
