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 Three - Research

RESEARCH
What did you learn from your research?
How has the research into existing artists and
professionals helped you improve your
ideas?
How has the research into your target
audience helped you improve your ideas?
How has the research into your platform
helped you improve your ideas?
What work do you need to complete outside
of lessons to stay on track?
High Grade Tips
I learned alot about music videos and all the diffrent styles
and whens is the most effective time to use them i also lerned that
music videos haven't even been around for a long time and have only
recently gotten popular. MTV was a massive boost for music videos
and alot of new artists at that time got found beacause of MTV.
It helped me improve my ideas as i added new things into my work that
will make it that little bit better and more high quailty sounding such as
adlibs its also helped me with creating lyrics like now ive added word
play just little things that will make the song as a whole look and sound
alot better.
My target audience reseach helped me alot as it gave me a better insite
on what the want and will expect from me i also have added a story
line in the music video to keep them engaged and wanting to know
what will happen next as i want them to watch it and want the next
music video to come out.
I will be posting it on youtube and soundcloud as i want to cover more
then one website so it has more of a chance of people noticing my
music video as so many people are doing music now
I am on track

Research
• ‘Thorough research’ - include plenty of sources and detailed analysis of this information
• ‘relevant & coherent’ – make sure your research sources are not just the same as the Media product you hope to
make - and talk about how they inform your planning
• ‘sustained’ – continue your research throughout the eleven-week project and don’t just limit it to the first two weeks
• ‘accomplished & considered’ – all of the above referred to in your daily/weekly reflections
