Production / practical skills

 

In this, context relates to the ability to use practical and technical skills and knowledge to explore, adapt and effectively communicate ideas in the realisation of identified goals, likely to be evidenced in personal reflective journals, images, notebooks, recordings, artefacts and through other practical media related outcomes.

Production log

 

Where possible try to document production as it happens. It is strongly recommended you produce a written or video vlog after every production session and reflect on how the session went. Pay special attention to obstacles overcome or things that went particularly well. How are you going to move forward?

The production stage is where you want to highlight your research and pre production skills have been put to use. Reflect and analyse how your initial research has been used within your filming production stages. This could be from researching practical skills test such as lighting effects or cinematography skills, all the way to editing effects within post production.

Production is where we can see your abilities, research, planning and decision making, as well as your learning journey. Production should hihgliught all aspects of your development and be in the form of a prodcution diary or audio/video commentary  with lots of reflection. Try to include the following;

 

 

Pay close attention to the following during production phase:
 

• Creativity 

• Problems & solutions 

• Where research has helped / could have improved.

• Time management

• group meetings / dynamics 

• Cinematography

• Lighting

• Audio

• Post Production Workflow (format, frame rate, efficiency)

 

 

Reflection 

​

During your production log/reflection you MUST bring your Research & Pre Production back in to analyse how useful it has been. This can be initial research, action research or how you have used pre production such as storyboard or script. 

Make sure to bring in visuals and highlight areas of use/changes you had to make.
