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 managed to complete a first draft two weeks before the
time? deadline meaning that I had time to get feedback and adapt
it to submit my final production to a standard that I was happy
with.

How did you gain feedback? Was this
process effective/valuable?
I sent out surveys for my first draft to gain advice on what to
do to improve. Once I submitted my final production, I sent
out another survey that focused more on the detail of the
piece. These two surveys were very valuable because the first
one helped me to improve and get my piece up to standard
that was higher than before. The second one helped me with
my evaluation and what I still could’ve done to improve.

What have you learned from your
feedback?
From my feedback, I have learned that I could’ve added
more music and effects. I also could’ve improved the sound in
the interview. On reflection these issues were relatively easy to
resolve and I could’ve changed them in a reasonably short
amount of time.

How did your work compare to
professional productions?
I am happy with how my piece turned out and I think that it
compared quite well to a professional piece. I noticed that I
had unintentionally used some of the same techniques as
seen in professional productions. I was happy with this
because I think it showed that I had a relatively strong idea of
what type of production I wanted to produce and how to do
it.

Have you completed your final
evaluation?
I have completed my final evaluation and I am happy with it. I
have tried to go into as much detail as possible and I think
that I have tried to be as critical with my work as possible. One
of the main things that I looked at was what in particular I
needed to improve on. I feel that this has given me a better
 idea of what to focus on so that I can now ensure that my
future projects are completed to a standard that I am happy
with.

Are you on track this week? If not, I am on track for all of my work this week

High Grade Tips

Evaluation & Reflection

● ‘reasoned decisions and inform the development of ideas’ – both your evaluation and the
weekly reflections above will clearly show both how and why your ideas developed throughout
the project
● ‘demonstrating clarity in thinking’ – all of the above plus very clear links between your research,
planning, idea development and the production of your poster and film trailer
