THE LEARNING PROCESS:

Inquiry

You reflect on your experiences of watching, discussing and writing about films.

You develop filmmaker intentions you would like to achieve through production work.

Action

You undertake practical production activities in the chosen film production roles.

Reflection

You reflect on your explorations and the extent to which you fulfilled your filmmaker intentions.

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
