FMP Reflective Journal

REFLECTING OF FEEDBACK

With the feedback received from my FMP Proposal I feel confident in driving this project forward and developing the concept into physical output. Rigorous research has supported the ambiguity of this project proposal and will be essential to the development and realisation of visual outcomes. Through out I will continue to undertake primary research to aid inspiration for my own work and ensure the outcome is relevant to the target market. 

It is clear that when explaining the context of the imagery I need to be specific and realistic in order to ensure the visuals are successful and are what I perceive them to be reflecting. After each shoot I will touch base with a small group of creatives and ask them to tell me what they believe the content is portraying. During the development of the project proposal this was deemed incredibly effective and enabled me to gain critical and creative input into the project.  Having outside opinion on the development of visual imagery will ensure the output is powerful and engaging to the audience or viewer. Visual language is crucially important to the concept of this project. 

NEXT STEPS

This journal will be used through out the production of the project to document and reflect upon each stage of production. The next stage of this project is to clarify each narrative, that will be featured in the online exhibition at the end of production. Receiving further feedback on these concepts from tutors will ensure ideas are clear and concise. Once each narrative has been clarified testing and experimenting with products, lights, and SFX will explore whether each design can be achieved effectively.  I will enter this stage of development with an open mind as the creation of different aspects are likely to arise through 'happy accidents'. During the proposal stage I undertook two test shoots which I used various props to explore if certain effects could be created. Before shooting I was unsure what would happen and what I did achieve was incredible! I must bare in mind that testing will not always be as successful and it will be critical to keep trying in order to produce something innovative and unique.
