Our brief

This week, we received our briefs for our FMP (final major project). In this brief it helps us to see what we really need to achieve to help get the best result we can.

For instance, the first thing the brief says is 'demonstrate and showcase all of your skills that you have developed'. This means that all the skills we've learned in the past year, that I have listed in an inventory already, need to be applied where appropriate in my FMP. This means that even though I'm working on a possible documentary styled short film/advert, I need to incorporate some publishing and research skills, too. So, I will have to think of supporting posters, etc, to support my FMP.

Additionally, the brief says 'you will critique and reflect'. This means I need to up my blogging game, and really start blogging everything I do that contributes to my FMP. This helps with my progress and gives evidence of this process. It also says we need to critique, and self-assessment is a skill we have practised before. This may mean I may have to re-submit things if I go over it and find a better way to do it. It also means when I am reflecting in blog posts, I need to comment about ways I could improve, even if I couldn't control it or if I am content with the outcome.

Finally, the brief lists some themes I can use for my FMP, or it says 'you are welcome to create your own'. This means I can be as creative as we want, and this can be the perfect chance to impress people with my work. I like the fact that I'm not limited to just a few themes already chosen, as this broadens the horizons a little and I can really do a project about something I love, feel passionate or strongly about.

Overall, I'm excited for this brief and FMP, and I want to meet all of the criteria given to us on the brief.
