Project Brief​
The FMP is the culmination of your course and demonstrates all of the creativity, skill, concept and understanding you have gained over the past year. You are expected to produce a body of coherent, sophisticated research that culminates in ideally a media product or a collection of work that shows off your technical ability, talent, vision and knowledge. You will need to evidence the development of your work by including relevant research & reflective diary, a development of ideas, and a selection of sophisticated outcomes.
These should be accompanied by thorough and on-going critical and contextual reviews and evaluation. You need to pick an area of film/TV for your project. It might be useful to consider theme, eg memory or health.
​
Suggested themes could come from the following areas: advertising, culture, messages, music, sports, games, politics, lifestyle, etc
​
Make sure you are working in an aspect of film/tv you enjoy (there are many roles you've been looking at), have been good at and one that will help you achieve your goals for the future.
​
You must achieve a balance of your ambition, time constraints and resources to make sure you can achieve your project. Do not make it too big OR too small!

Your submission must include evidence of the below, under these Wix/blog headings:

The Authentication document needs to be done before you embark on any work and placed on your FMP homepage. It is you declaring that all the work is your own. If you take any work that is someone else's DO NOT present it on your blog without referencing it. ALL text needs to be either your own writing or use quote marks to show you're quoting someone else's words. eg Susan Hitchens says 'representation in media is fascinating' (see Reference 1).
TOP SLICE
Spend two lessons doing a practical element of your chosen media product
Research how you might make it better, eg look at existing products or talk to others
Reflect on your practice (add questions and answers):
what went well
was it as easy/hard as you thought
what would you do differently next time
did you enjoy making it
did you develop skills doing it, if so which
did you use someone else to help, if so what assistance did you need
if you spent 6 weeks making this type of product to a much higher standard would you be proud of the result
is this still the thing that you most want to make, if not, what else should you try?
What does the mark scheme say the key areas to get good marks are?
Of these four, which do you feel most confident in?
And least…?
