STATEMENT OF AIMS
FMP unit is the summative unit in the final year of the two-year qualification. It
will provide students with a measure of self-directed learning through the
completion of a substantial creative media production and technology project.
The unit requires students to apply the skills, knowledge and understanding
developed over the entire course, to complete a creative media production project. It
will provide students with a measure of self-directed learning, and an opportunity to
further clarify their longer-term goals through their choice of an activity to explore in
greater depth
Section 3: Evaluation – How you plan to record your progress (minimum of 100
words)
I will keep a log for each day I work on my project where I will reflect on my work
so far. I will keep track of all of my decisions and any potential changes that may
occur. I will also make notes and sketches in my notebook that I can take pictures
of to upload to my website next to the log entries. Once I start production, I will
take screenshots that will also join the log entries. I will also screen record my
progress to go with the screenshots.
I will ask my friends and teachers to evaluate my progress as well, and include it in
my log entries. I will also conduct surveys to get feedback from my audience
during production as well. I will take the feedback I get from these sources and use
it to better my project by listening and learning to what most people prefer and
using it to develop idea.
At the end of the project, I will gather audience feedback which I will use to create
an evaluation for my work. When complete, I will use this as part of a whole project
evaluation comparing my work to that of professionals, examine where I could
have made improvements and reflect on my feelings overall about the project.
Equipment Required
I will need a computer that can run the below software without issues:
- Cinema 4D for the main part of the video
- Photoshop for textures
I will need my own camera for visiting churches/cathedrals to take pictures for
texture capture and design reference.
Resources Required
I need to make sure that the machines in the rooms that I will be working in have
Cinema 4D on them and that those computers can run it without issue. I will also
try to make sure that I always have my notebook and pen with me in case I need
them. I will probably use a website like Bensound to find some copyright free
music to use.
Skills to develop/learn
I need to work on my Cinema 4D skills as there are things I want to do for my
project that I don’t know how to do in Cinema 4D yet. I may also need to touch up
my Photoshop skills since I haven’t used it in a while, although I’ll probably be fine.
My research and evaluation skills could also use work.
Personnel and responsibilities
It should just be myself.
The video would be used for the title sequence for each episode of a TV series.
Creative Mindsets
Ownership – Everything is mine, not using someone else’s work
1. Do something you enjoy – look back on projects this year and think about
what skills you’ve learnt and which you have really enjoyed. What job would
you like to do in the future? How can you apply it to your project? Pick a
theme or themes which you can connect with.
LOVE YOUR PROJECT
2. Do lots and lots of research – primary and secondary are both essential.
Use a wide range of methods and resources, such as questionnaires,
surveys, interviews (Primary), and researching the work of professional
practitioners and techniques (Secondary).
3. Manage your time – 10 weeks is not long. Just think how fast this year has
gone so far. Plan ahead and don’t fall behind. MAKE USE OF
INDEPENDENT STUDY TIME.
4. You must document everything what happens as you go along. Your entire
journey from start to finish should be fully recorded. Describe and analyse as
you go along. Every aspect of your project should be fully considered. Your
Planning and Schedule will be vital to the success of your FMP
6. Critically analyse and evaluate – this will refer to the research you
undertake, the pre-production, production and post-production. Don’t just
describe but analyse, interpret, research and evaluate.
8. You are being graded against SEVEN Learning Outcomes, so you need to
ensure that you do the very best in each of them to achieve the grade you
may require, so pay close attention to all parts of the FMP
