Unit 13 - 4.1 Demonstrate the ability to plan, organise
and produce a personal self-directed A&D project
within an agreed time frame.
Plan – Proposals: The
proposal that you produce at the start of the FMP is a very important aspect of
your work. Whilst the work will be developed and refined during the course of
the assignment it must still conform to your proposal. If you deviate away from
your basic Idea/Concept you will limit your chances of attaining good grades
and possibly fail to attain a Pass.
Your proposal is an integral part of your planning process
and must be produced at the start of the Final Major Project as soon as you
have completed your research. It is therefore imperative (Important) that you
complete your research within the first 2 weeks of your FMP.
Plan – Section 6 of your Gibbs
Reflections: Within the Gibbs reflection process you have an
automatic prompt that encourages you to plan. Section 6 of Gibbs is the “Action
Plan” What are you going to do next? This prompts you to plan your next move
within your project, thus identifying further opportunities to identify the
fact that you are organising and planning your project. The advice is that you
*reflect on your work at least once a week.
Plan – shoot plans: Shoot
plans can be used and evidenced within your work as you conduct your shoots.
Each time you shoot write a list of what it is you’re doing, how you’re doing
it, what kit you’re using and why? Also include an assessment of the lighting
conditions if you’re using variable lighting and do so in an analytical way
“What if” I don’t get the lighting
conditions I wish for? Analyse what it is you’re going to do if this
situation arises, what will you do instead?
*Remember you
can use the Gibbs reflective format to generate almost all of your written work
once you get started on the practical and planning stages of the project once
the research is completed.
