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 Nine – Editing

EDITING

How did you find the editing process?
The editing process went very smoothly for me as I managed
to edit the first draft all in one day and then change some of it
the next day to get my final edit done in less than 2 days. I am
also very happy with my edit as I think it flows nicely and is very
effective at showing a narrative.

What skills did you have to I mainly used techniques which I had already learnt so the
learn/develop during the editing only thing I learnt was colour grading which adds and old
process? fashioned effect to the video.

Upload screenshots of the editing

process and explain what they show.

What issues did you have to I had to overcome having some of the clips ruined by
overcome whilst editing? How did you reflections of the camera in the window by cutting these clips

● ‘reasoned decisions and inform the development of ideas’ – both your evaluation and the
weekly reflections above will clearly show both how and why your ideas developed throughout
the project
● ‘demonstrating clarity in thinking’ – all of the above plus very clear links between your research,
planning, idea development and the production of your poster and film trailer
