Progress statement for planning
- 2. We have now completed a lot of our planning that will dictate our filming: risk assessments, props list, schedule, location reccee, research into our own and similar products, questions for voxpops and interviews, etc. Throughout the planning stage, we have worked effectively but there are also things that we could do better next time…
- 3. Strengths We distributed these tasks between us evenly in order to maximize our creative and IT skills. This meant that we could spend more time on each task because we only had a few tasks to work on at a time. When it comes to filming, we feel that these aspects of planning will help us greatly as we know what we will be filming, the locations and have a rough idea of the time it will take us. Also, we have used a range of different software to present our planning. This has improved our knowledge of the resources available and also made our blog more aesthetically pleasing.
- 4. Areas to Improve Although we took a lot of strengths away from our planning stage, we could have done a few things better. We could have managed our time better in this stage in order to help us work more efficiently. For example, if we had done our risk assessments earlier, we may be less rushed in later stages. Next time, it would be a good idea to have a schedule for planning as well as for filming so we knew exactly what we would be doing in each lesson. However, we have not fallen behind yet and we will learn from this minor error.
- 5. Conclusion Overall, I feel that our strengths outweigh the areas to improve and we are hopefully on track for a level 4. The next things we need to do are shot types, tripod set up and start organizing our expert interviews for when we start filming!
