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 One - Context

CONTEXT

How did you find coming up
with an idea that challenged
you enough for your FMP?
Due to the current circumstances, I had to think of some backup ideas. I
have a music video which would be me doing freestyle with a
background of fire. I would have a range of camera angles to limit
simplicity. The other short film would be a football player teaching youth
players tricks and helping them develop a passion for the beautiful
game. My main idea is a one continuous shot of two guys trying to find
their friend while being hunted by a psychopath. This idea was always
something I wanted to do and I feel like it would be a very strong piece
of work. In my opinion it would be my strongest production of my first
year of college.

How has writing a proposal
helped you with finalising
your idea?
My proposal has helped me finalise my idea as the more I have thought
about the challenges I would face the more I have thought about how I
would deal with them. Looking at my rational I evaluated my strengths
and weaknesses of my work throughout the year. I explained how my
confidence has built up as I’ve made more productions. This means that
my short film for my FMP will very strong as I know completely what I’m
doing. I also have considered camera angles but with coronavirus
around its going to be hard to make productions because my actors
can’t get to locations.

How did the feedback help
you adapt your idea – what
did you change after
feedback?
My feedback helped me with my idea as people enjoyed what I
wanted to create. People liked my Isolation documentary as it was
relevant and it would educate people on the current situation. I got all
positive comments. People were also interested in my one shot short
film as it was something a little different than what people are used to
seeing.

Are you on track for the I am on track for this week
