The film stars a group of pirates that discover a great treasure but by taking it from
its place of rest the crew accidentally get themselves cursed. That night whilst the
crew is starting to get ready to rest, they feel a large thud from the underneath of
their vessel and shortly after scratching noises going up the side of the ship. The
ship is invaded by the long dead crew of the captain that buried the treasure. The

bones.

4. Why have you chosen these media products to market your film idea?
I have chosen these media types as I believe that I have a large amount of skill
using photoshop and I believe that means that I will develop the products to a high
standard. Also, I prefer editing images over editing audio and video so I believe I
will gain more satisfaction from doing the posters.

How to survive a final major project

1. Do something you enjoy – look back on projects this year and think about
what skills you have 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?
LOVE YOUR PROJECT

2. Do lots and lots of research – primary and secondary are both essential.
Use a wide range of methods and resources (as covered in unit 2).

3. Manage your time. Just think how fast this year has gone so far. Plan ahead
and do not 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
 LEVEL 2

you go along. Every aspect of your project should be fully considered. Your
Project Action Plan and Timetable will be vital to the success of your FMP

5. Research, design, experiment, build, evaluate. Your project should evolve

over the allotted time. Be flexible and adaptable if your FMP decides to go in
a different direction than first intended

6. Critically analyse and evaluate – this will refer to the research you undertake,
the pre-production, production, and post-production. Do not just describe but
analyse, interpret, research, and evaluate.

7. Listen to advice from your lecturers in formative assessment

sessions throughout the project. You might just find that as we are used to
marking work, we know what the requirements are to make good/exceptional
projects. Remember, your work will be graded at Pass, Merit or Distinction,
so aim for the best grade you can and take advice on board when given
