Post Research Reflections - how to

 These follow the research and use the same structure as the practical reflections...

(1). What happened (Requires just a couple of sentences - keep it simple just say who you researched and what research methods you used). 

(2). How do you feel it went. (Again a very basic response, a couple of sentences saying how you felt about doing the research - whether you felt you learned a great deal, whether you were inspired, if it was hard to find the relevant information and you struggled. 

(3). What was good/bad (Another quick response a couple of key points about the research process that were good and one bad one. 

(4). Analysis.

This is the bigger section, this is where you write about the value and usefulness of the research, you might explain why it was useful in terms of kick-starting your project. What aspects of the research did you find inspiring, what will you 'Borrow' from the research and use in your own work; this might be things like...

• The basic premise and idea
• How it's done
• Their style
• Techniques 
• Lighting
• Poses
• The mood and feel 
• View-point and perspective 

Explain what you're going to borrow/use in your work in your first shoot

Also show that you understand the value of your research in the longer term - use the term "Progression goals". 

These are things such as...

• Passing the task
• Passing the Unit
• Passing the first year
• Passing the course
• Getting into University
• Getting a job in Photography

Once that's done you need to write a Plan
