THE LEARNING PROCESS:
Inquiry
You reflect on your experiences of watching, discussing and learning about films and film making techniques.
You develop filmmaker intentions you would like to achieve through production work.
In other words what have you learnt and where did you learn it?
Action
You undertake practical production activities in the chosen film production roles.
Or…how did try and complete the tasks and what practical problems did you discover and / or overcome?
Reflection
You reflect on your explorations and the extent to which you fulfilled your filmmaker intentions.
How do you feel about the final product and the impact / meaning that you made in film?
The Portfolio Page (Minor Tasks)
For each minor task we complete in class you must complete one page for your film maker’s portfolio.
These pages will be submitted along with a reel of your best work as coursework. You should have completed most of your portfolio by the end of year 12 and the pages will act as a record of your inquiry, actions and reflection.
Here is a portfolio page template
