|Section 1: Review Your Journey (Approx. 150 words) |

|Think about the journey you have gone through in this past year. What were the greatest milestones of your learning? How do you feel you have developed|

|as a filmmaker? What skills and qualities have you learnt and developed? What are your strongest skills in media and how do you know this? Was there a |

|specific project or turning point when you realised you enjoyed and excelled at a certain skill? Explain how your journey has ended up here, with this |

|idea, for this final major project. |

|This section is designed to see how well you can recognise your own skills, strengths and weaknesses, and to get you to reflect on how you are |

|different now from when you started. Discussing your journey is an important part of your FMP. |

| |

| |

| |

|Section 2: The Project (Approx. 200 words) |

|This is where you explain your FMP project idea and concept. Be specific about what you intend to communicate and what you hope to achieve by producing|

|this work. What is your idea? If it’s a narrative film, what will happen? If a documentary, tell us about the subjects and why you’re interested in it.|

|How will your work engage or affect your audience? What do you want to achieve by making this film? Describe the themes of your work – is it based on |

|fact or fiction? What is the title of your Project? What will you work towards producing? What will be your final outcome? |

|This section is the WHAT – don’t talk about equipment or HOW you will create it, that’s for the section below. |

| |

| |

| |

| |

| |

| |

|Section 3: Methods (Approx. 150 words) |

|What equipment, software and skills will you use to make your project happen? Include aspects of studio practice, workshop procedures or the use of |

|particular equipment and software etc. Discuss why you will do things this way: if you will use a certain piece of equipment, for example a gimbal or a|

|3-point lighting kit, why is that the best piece of kit and what are you trying to achieve with it? Be critical about your equipment choices, recognise|

|the benefits and the drawbacks of each. |

| |

| |

| |

| |

| |

| |

|Section 4: Evaluation (Approx. 150 words) |

|Evaluating your work is an important way to develop your skills so that you can improve in future projects. How will you critically review and analyse |

|your work and determine if it is successful? How will you know if it’s any good or if it achieves its purpose? If you’re going to ask people, how will |

|you do this? How do you propose to assess the success of your Final Major Project and what will be your methods of evaluation? |
