WEEKLY JOURNALS

This is where you think about your FMP learning journey and development.
Don’t simply describe what you did - consider what you have learnt and how this has benefitted
your project. What do you need to improve?

THIS IS JUST GUIDANCE THAT YOU NEED TO ADAPT TO YOUR OWN PROJECT. YOU HAVE CREATED YOUR
OWN PRODUCTION SCHEDULES AND YOUR WEEKLY BLOGS SHOULD REFELCT THAT.

THESE QUESTIONS SHOULD BE ADDRESSED IN THE WEEKS YOU COMPLETED THEM. DO NOT JUST SUBMIT THIS
FORM FILLED IN FOR YOUR WEEKLY BLOGS. THERE SHOULD BE 11 WEEKLY BLOG ENTRIES (INCLUDING
EASTER).

Week One - Context

CONTEXT

How did you find coming up
with an idea that challenged
you enough for your FMP?
When we started this unit I wasn’t sure of what I wanted to do the only
thing I was certain about was doing a documentary I just wasn’t sure of
what I was going to do it about. I decided to watch other
documentaries on YouTube and BBC to get some inspiration to come
up with a subject to do my documentary on. I came to the conclusion
that I was going to make a documentary on Sport Injury and the effects
that sport can have on the brain. I thought that this is a good idea as
there are only a few documentaries made on the subject considering it
is an important and very informative topic. I chose to do a
documentary on this because there are currently lots of news articles
and unanswered questions about sporting injuries and I thought that It
would be interesting to research deep into the topic and inform others
about the matter.

How has writing a proposal
helped you with finalising
your idea?
From writing my proposal I had to write a rationale, this helped with
finalising my idea as I was able to write out what I feel my strengths and
also weaknesses are going forward and thinking about what I can
include in my documentary. Being able to write down all three ideas I
managed to gain a liking to which one I thought would be most
interesting. The evaluation segment of the proposal also allowed me to
know what I need to complete in order to evaluate my work that I’ve
done each week and throughout the whole project. Evaluating my
work will help me gain a further understanding of what I have done and
what I have achieved.

How did the feedback help The feedback that I received from my survey helped me also finalise
you adapt your idea – what what I was going to make my documentary about as 60% of the votes
did you change after were to produce a documentary on sport injuries.
