To start off this project, I had to choose what kind of subject I
would like to focus on with my final major project and made a list
on what I would do for this project. Having doing a brief schedule
which I will follow each week will help me throughout the task on
what I should do.
I will start to create my questionnaire and doing mind
maps to start of my primary research to help me with
this project.

This week I have been finalising the final major project idea as a
proposal on Microsoft word. Going through my ideas with Iain, I
have established what I want it do within my final major project.
Researching a target audience and their needs I have established
what my aim is for this project.
Next week I will start the research on my final major
project knowing I have no finished my proposal and the
idea on what I will be doing has been made clear to me

assignment.

This week for the lesson I was in, I finished off the inspirational
artists PowerPoint and uploaded it to my blog and made sure that

(Detailed Weekly Summary)
Again last week I was not in all of the days which I should have due
to illness so I have changed the production schedule and updated
it to the correct information which is needed and will be followed.
Next week I will be booking a kit out to do some test
shoots and take photographs as well as doing all of the
pre-production section and the rest of the research
section in order to be up to date with my work.
Mon W/B 11/03/13
(Detailed Weekly Summary)
I booked the kit out and done some test shoots which a range was
done. I did several different photo shoots and then using
PowerPoint I then created a contact sheets for each individual
shoot.
Next week I will be editing the images I have taken to
the style I want to apply to my images and also continue
with the pre-production and the research sections.
Mon W/B 18/03/13
(Detailed Weekly Summary)
This week I have completed what I have set to do for the Pre-
Production and continued to edit the shots which I have I already
taken and started selecting a few images which I have edited to be
used for my FMP.
Next week I will do the Critique and Further Images
which is within the production and finish off editing
images which I have already taken.
Mon W/B 01/04/13
(Detailed Weekly Summary)
I have again changed around the schedule as the booking the kit
and the editing which seemed to take longer than I thought it
would. However, the time it has taken to edit my images was
worth it as I took in deep consideration for each single image that I
had taken to make sure it was professional standards.
Next week I will be looking to get the questionnaire
done which I still have not completed as I have been
busy with the rest of my work. Also I will be booking my
kit and starting the editing which will go towards
finishing my FMP.
Mon W/B 08/04/13
(Detailed Weekly Summary)
This week I have completely taken off the questionnaire as I felt
that it would not get done I really didn’t need to do it as I have
focused mainly on the artist inspiration because they are
professional and everyone seems to love their work. Trying to
compete with them by using a similar style yet personalising it is
helping me with my edits that I have done to help me complete my
editing.
Next week I will focus on getting more images for my
FMP and finishing the editing as well as dividing the
images from test images and my final selected images.
Mon W/B 15/04/13
(Detailed Weekly Summary)
This week I did another test shoot to make sure that I had enough
images which will be able to go on towards my FMP. The editing
again took up the most of my time as well as doing contact sheets
to show all of my images and the process I have gone through to
edit the images by creating a power point and showing a simple
I will upload my work onto the blog and finish off the
final pieces of my work just like the image analysis
which I still yet have to complete.
