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 (INCLUDINGth
EASTER).

Week One - Context

CONTEXT

How did you find coming up
with an idea that challenged
you enough for your FMP?
I found it difficult to come up with at least 3 ideas that would challenge
me enough for my final major project as I wanted to do an idea which
shows creativity and something that I would enjoy whilst doing my
project. I have chosen to do a radio drama as I have thought of a
creative idea for it but also I find radio dramas quite challenging to do
as they don’t have any visuals and you have to recreate the sounds
using everyday items. For example I know how to use audition but I only
know basic features of it so when I come to edit my radio drama it will
be challenging to try and add the right features as I still want to
experiment with the features

How has writing a proposal
helped you with finalising
your idea?
Writing up a proposal has helped me because I have been able to
realise what skills I have learnt since I started the college course and I
have been able to realise what I didn’t really know how to do and what
skills i have now and developed over my time spent at Henley College.
After talking about what skills I have learnt and what idea I want to
specifically, I have been able to get a better idea of how to do a radio
drama using the skills that I have learned and how they will help me
create a good radio drama. I talked about how I will get feedback
whilst doing the project so I can understand what improvements I would
need to add. Overall wring up a proposal has helped me to reflect on
what skills I have learnt and how I can use them to further develop my
idea whilst doing the final major project.

How did the feedback help

you adapt your idea – what
did you change after
feedback?

Are you on track for the I am not on track for this week because there are some pieces of work I
week? If not, how far behind still need to sort out which shouldn’t take me long
are you?
What work do you need to
complete outside of lessons
