Post 3a; Traget Progress

In June we had to set ourselves 5 SMART targets that we would meet by the end of this year . 1) was to become more familiar with the edit suites 2) was time management 3) was to create a better quality film 4) organisation and meeting deadlines and 5) was allowing myself to become more creative.

Target 1: This target is a hard one to complete, although i feel i need to do some more research and notes into edit suites. For me to feel i have met this target i am going to need to have further experience on the edit suites, before actually editing our film, so it will be less time consuming and beneficial for everyone. I am going to make sure i have done some research by next week, on edit suites and the sound techniques on them, and hopefully this will extend my knowledge and help me when editing our film.

Target 2: The second target was for me to ensure that this year me and my group will be more prepared and up to date with all work as last year it was hard for us to get started which may have effected our overall production. I feel that this year i am more prepared and am keeping up to date with all work that has been set. This is because from my experience last year i want to do better and get keep a constant good grade for this course.

I am also interacting more with students and getting their opinions on things. For example: when we were asked to come up with an idea about our script, i asked some class mates to help me, and eventually when i created an idea another class mate gave me feedback on what i could improve on, and we even developed my original idea.

Target 3: For this target i am going to have to devote as much time towards the making of this film, in order for it to become a good quality film. As i now know from last year, we left our production to last minute, which i have learned not to do this. I am going to do some research on what different audiences like and dislike, even though i have a rough idea, from the other part of the course. Also i will compare what age ranges like which specific genre's.

Target 4: I feel that target 4 is being met slowly, i am completing all work that has been set as quickly as possible, rather then leaving it to last minute where i will then be left behind.

Target 5: This target needs to be met consistently throughout the course. The aim is to improve our creativity and originality in the course which is why we are set little tasks which with help our imagination. We already have a rough idea about what creativity means, and what specific elements it has to it, but some more research into creativity and originality would also be helpful. I could also have a go at doing small little independent tasks, just like the one the teacher set us in post 2.

The targets are very specific and have detailed requirements for completing them, i feel that my five targets are good enough to help me improve my overall grade in media studies, and help me develop my knowledge in this course.
In order to complete every part of my targets i am going to need to re read the whole of my notes, and class work, and research up on anything i don't understand to help me with the course For example: i would read up on the different theories and theorists so i can widen my knowledge and have a better understanding for the exam.
