Your FMP is due Tuesday 17th at 12pm. This is the last working week for your FMP! You will present your work for final crit on Wednesday – the crit power point is under Unit 8. By the end of this week you should meet all the targets of your own statement of intent! You should complete all shooting, editing, writing, analysis, etc. You should complete all blog work and the final written evaluation. You should ensure that you have produced AT LEAST WEEKLY REFLECTIVE JOURNAL ENTRIES! You Reflective Journal must be separate and in addition to your blog.
Reflective Journal Questions:
Look over your original FMP timetable. Make annotations in pencil to note what you have and have not completed to date. Why has this happened – both for meeting and/or missing weekend targets? Why are you ahead or behind? What will you do to catch up on missed targets, or if you have finished ahead of time what can you do to as extra for your FMP?
Here is a stress test to help you evaluate your state of mind: stress test . Reflect on your answers. Use the guide below to fill in gaps in your reflective journal.
- The journal is about you—so write in the first person.
- Got questions? If so, write them down!
- Found an answer you don’t want to forget? Write it down.
- Keep your to-do lists in the journal. Also record the steps you performed if they are not part of the action plan. Checklists also belong in journals.
- Keep the journal on your person at all times while performing study tasks and observations. Think of it this way—if it is not handy when you need it, then what good is it?
- Record ideas of value to you.
- Use the back inside cover for special notes to yourself.
- If you notice cultural issues emerging in your study, record it!
- Got a new idea for your research or for your next AR cycle? Write it down!
- Did you screw up? If so, record your mistake.
- Did you sense a power distance while meeting with stakeholders? If so, write about how you felt and what you observed.
- Did you make a mistake while collecting data? If so, you better leave yourself a note in the journal.
- Did you have a new, positive, confusing, negative, or utterly befuddling experience while researching? Well, write it down!
- Did you sense emotion from yourself or a stakeholder? Was it relevant to the moment in which you were conducting the study? If so, record it. Emotions are part of being human and are a very valuable component to action research.
- Did you have a moment where you were unprepared or felt like a total idiot during the study? If so, good! Record that moment and think about what you need to learn.
- Make sure you have a safe place to keep your journal.
- Never let anyone else write in your journal.

Intro to digital cameras, studio, lighting and H&S – ALL LEARNING TO BE POSTED TO BLOG IN 3 SECTIONS. Present all key points from lecture:
Digital Camera Introduction
Studio Set-up & Lighting
H&S Practice – Working in the Studio
High and Low key lecture – definitions to be posted to blog with your own example images.
Present a mood board of professional high and low key examples. Identify if it is high key or low key, and describe the studio set up for each shoot. 3 images of each with analysis for each.
Practice shoot in studio for high & low key – working in small groups or pairs. Post gallery to blog and evaluate.
Begin to plan out assignment work – post PROJECT PROPOSAL, ACTION PLANS AND IDEA DEVELOPMENT TO BLOG.
Tuesday:
Completion of script and story board for stop motion. Scan and post to blog.
- Start with an introduction that explains the situation, introduces the principal characters and defines the ‘problem’. (=First 1/4 of the story)
- Follow this with the story, where the characters look for ways to solve the ‘problem’ and live through their adventures. (=Middle 1/2 of the story)
- End with the resolution that solves the ‘problem’ and shows the happy ending. (=Final 1/4 of the story)
- Consider the sound that you will add to each scene or sequence. Music is the “easy” option as you add a song to the entire film. However, you can achieve higher marks if you consider more appropriate sound effects to illustrate your story like foot steps, booms, bangs, scratching, etc … adding the appropriate sound to the image that is being shown! These can be found online or for EVEN HIGHER MARKS … make and record them yourselves! See some ideas on Unit 7 page.
Present and analyse research examples. Identify “do’s” and “don’t” for stop motion.
Complete your shoot action plans detailing what you need to complete shoots.
Begin to shoot if ready. Remember you should aim for a minimum of 20-30 seconds. Higher achieving students will aim for longer.

Intro to brief and project requirements.
10+/- frame stop-motion practice. Upload all still images from the sequence as a grid to blog to show the development. Explain process.
Complete research – chose 3 stop-motion animations (preferably photographic) and embed them onto your blog under unit 7.
- Explain the story/script in your own words. What is the narrative being told, who are the characters, what is the theme, what is achieved, is it dramatic, humorous, scary, etc. What happens?
- Does it have an industry context? For instance, is it a TV advert, a music video, a short or long length film?
- Take a guess (or find the answers) of how many photographs were used in the making of the animations. Remember that typically there are 24 frames per second in video.
- Identify the strengths and weakness of the stop motion – take screen shots of import scenes/moments to illustrate this. Does the animation run smoothly? Is there any big jumps or gaps in the frames? Are the image exposures or framing of the film consistent? If not, what do you think the faults are.
- Do you like it? Why? What does it make you feel? How do you react to it?
Begin to form your ideas and script, post on your blog. Idea and written script (400-500 words) needs to be completed by the end of week 2 (12th January)

Week 12 – w/c 7th December 2015
ALMOST THERE! You have nearly made it through term 1, only 2 weeks to go!
This week –
You must SHOOT NEW FILM for your Constructed Imagery Project according to the ideas that you have been developing over the last weeks. You may use old negatives for experimentation and learning but you need to use NEW film for the current project. To date, as a group, we have shot film for botanical forms.
Post your idea and project proposal for Unit 5 / Constructed Imagery on your blog explain what you are going to do to answer the theme of the brief and produce imagery for the 4 categories listed on your brief.
You can also shoot digital images to produce some of your work through photoshop; digital development is on Tuesdays.
Darkroom access = Monday & Wednesday (Toning) / Digital Development = Tuesday
As always, ensure that all research, mood boards, action plans, evaluations, learning processes, developmental work, etc is presented on your blog ready for assessment after Christmas.
Tuesday: Architectural constructions – complete 3 and post to blog, show screenshots for at least 1, explain task and learning, evaluate results.

Week 11 – w/c 3oth November 2015
Monday: Review film, darkroom for printing of natural forms for sepia/cyan toning.
Receive back Graphic Photograms – scan, upload to blog, evaluate process and results
Constructed Imagery Research – see artists from briefs, complete 3 by assessment. Be sure to understand what the body of work produced by the artist means or communicates to the audience. What is the point of this work? What does it achieve?
Independent idea development – you need to produce 8 – 12 images under the theme of constructed imagery and need to create outcomes that are: Portraits/Self-Portraits, Botanical Forms, Architectural and Surreal. What do you want to communicate with this batch of imagery that you are producing? Can you make personal, political, cultural, or humorous statements?
For those that use Pinterest, here is a link to an ideas page:

Tuesday: Further digital designs. Geometric Portrait task – Handout under Unit 5 Constructed Imagery. Complete one geometric portrait with the sample image. Save and upload this to your blog, explain process and what you learned; evaluate your result – what value does this add to the image? How does it complicate, confuse, alter the meaning or feeling?
Complete this task on your own 3 times with new, original portraits. Produce several portraits or self-portraits on your own, and complete this task again. Upload all work to your blog with explanation and evaluations. Screen shot steps for at least 1 and include those to help explain your learning.
