Reflecting on the Foundation Production Portfolio

Hi Everyone & welcome back after the summer :-)

Thank you for taking the time to set up your blogs; already I can see they are taking shape nicely and it's fantastic to see blogs being treated very professionally and with care.

Now that your blogs are up and running, I'd like you to take some time to reflect upon your AS coursework.  The A2 exam that you will sit in June 2012 will ask you to evaluate your development from AS to A2.  You're encouraged to be reflective upon your own 'distance-travelled' with regards to your skills.  There are some video podcasts that offer further information on this on the Film & Media @ Bede/Headways Facebook page

Rather than the age old "If I had more time I would've done this..." and "If I was to do this again I wouldn't do that...";you are instead required to critically reflect upon your skills development in relation to one or two specific production practices including:

• Digital Technology
• Creativity
• Research & Planning
• Post-Production
• Using conventions from real media texts

These will all be explored in further detail in class, however, it is important for you bear the above in mind and think sensibly, at this point, about your AS coursework performance.  This will be valuable in thinking about how you will work this year, and will be helpful to look over when you are preparing for your June exam.

Why not make this your first blog entry?  And some pictures/videos would be great ;-)

Happy blogging!
