STATEMENT OF AIMS
Unit 8 is the summative unit in the first 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 in Units 1–7, to complete a creative media production project. It will
provide students with a measure of self-directed learning, and an opportunity to
begin to clarify their longer-term goals through their choice of an activity to explore in
greater depth

Section 1: Rationale (minimum of 100 words)
Through out not only just unit 7 but through the entire course I have gained so
many new skills e.g., in animation I never knew how animate at all but now I know
a lot more and can not wait to learn how to roto scope. In photography I’ve learnt
so many new skills not only digitally but also physically with the photo camera, I
have learnt new settings and new techniques e.g., time lapsing and in Film I have
learnt so much not just with my editing but new shot types new techniques on a
use of a camera and how to set up the equipment. Throughout unit 7 I learnt how
to conduct research properly and build a site, I also learnt that telling people your
ideas is good so you can follow up on each other’s ideas but not only that I learnt
how to be independent and I think these skills will help me a lot in the long run.
Section 3: Evaluation – How you plan to record your progress (minimum of 100
words)
The way I will Evaluate my work is by recording what I do when I do it this will help
me not only reflect and look at what I did wrong but also plan and see what I can
and will do better by also evaluation my work in real time I can write on how I felt
with the work and the quantity of work done in real time which will also help to
memorise the things that I might forget if I didn’t do real time updates on the work
I have been doing this will also help with my final valuation in the long run of things
Skills to develop/learn
I going to be researching more on roto scoping and time lapsing
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 an area
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 – 9 weeks of practical work 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 FOUR 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. Remember that
the lowest awarded grade for any Learning Outcome will be the final grade
for the FMP unit.
