Hi petals,

I just wanted to remind you that the reflective post as part of Project Brief 4 is designed to do double duty – all students from each studio are required (to quote the guidelines) to “prepare and post a substantial final reflection that considers what they’ve learnt; and critically assesses the studio experience, their own performance and, the success of their film project in relation to the methods employed“.

My cunning plan (as I’ve mentioned) was to build this into the final assessment, rather than set it as an extra task for you.

As I have talked about before, and written about as feedback to many of you for previous briefs, it is always good practice to write for a ‘naive’ reader – and by that I mean, someone who does not know our studio, or our work, so everything you write is aware of giving context to an unknown visitor to your blog.

As if someone could stumble upon your blog (password protections notwithstanding) and enjoy the post in its own right.

Something to think about, perhaps, when revising (or writing!) this final post.

The guidelines above are useful, I think, and are basically a different way of wording the task set. However, to be clear, I will be assessing the post according to the course guide PB4 instructions.

Thanks, everyone, and looking forward to seeing your proofs-of-narrative!
