ACT 1: The site of a horrific crime scene is shown, with crashed cars and blaring
alarms with the ash of the fire that was there before on the ground like patches of
sand and the entire areas surrounded by emergency vehicles...
all is bleak.
Until someone points to the sky and shouts ‘ITS CAPTAIN HINDSIGHT!’ lighting
up everyone’s faces with glee. Captain Hindsight swoops down and lands next to
the police and citizens and begins to explain everything that they could have done
in order to stop the disaster and within the minute accepts his thanks from the
people and flies off in order to help with other disasters that have already
happened.
Tensions are rising in the UN, an all-out war between every single nation is going
to be in effect if the world leaders cannot agree on which resources to share...
Who can help in such a dire time?
ACT 2: The world is in chaos, an all-out war has exploded between every nation in
the world, all major cities being nuked to smithereens... Back at the UN, all the
world leaders are all screaming throwing books and utensils at each other, until the
ceiling blasts open and Captain Hindsight flies through, landing on the large
circular table.
The world leaders sit back down in their seats attentively anticipating Captain
Hindsight’s info.
Hindsight, relatively angry explains to all of them what they could have done
instead of killing billions of people over an argument and repeats this statement a
few times in different languages.
All the leaders are nodding and agreeing to this notion until Hindsight says
something that angers everyone again and all hell breaks loose, Hindsight is trying
to calm everyone down until the guards start firing at him and he takes a bullet in
the knee and the President of America says how they don’t need his Hindsight and
they can handle it themselves.
ACT 3: Hindsight is placed in an international supermax prison with a large
bandage around his knee accompanied by his cellmate Pavlo.
Pavlo explains how he was thrown in for multiple war crimes against Tunisia and
has had 4 failed breakout attempts and explains to Hindsight in detail what he did.
Hindsight, with no other way to go explains to Pavlo what he could have done to
break out and due to this Pavlo executes the perfect plan to leave the jail with an
action-packed scene leading to a huge prison riot.
All the guards dead, the prisoners make their escape and Pavlo thanks Hindsight
for his amazing hindsight, Hindsight flies off into the sky to make his way back to
the UN but sees that the entire world is in shambles now due to nuclear warfare
worldwide...

How to survive a final major project

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?
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 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
Project Action Plan and Timetable will be vital to the success of your FMP
 LEVEL 2

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. Don’t 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
