Firstly, when reading over the brief, I am able to see the clear aim's it is asking me to work towards and complete. In simple words and to me, I believe it is asking me to create piece, in which I set my own goals, do extensive research for and reflect upon and use the skills I have developed through my first year of UAL creative media. I also feel as if the brief wants me to create a piece for a specific audience and specify that through my research and final piece. Moreover, I can also understand from the brief that if I don't achieve a steady level thought my work will be marked at the lowest grade I receive. 

Furthermore, I can clearly tell that my piece will be reaching the requirements of the brief. I know this because I am willing to let people look at my work at see where I can improve, I will upload all my work (including the little thing) onto Wix and finally, I am aiming from a distinction as my final grade so i will complete everything to my best ability and a very high standard. 

Secondly, when reading through the context page, I am able to identify what it asking us to do. It want's us to have clear analyse of the brief and be able to develop our ideas to a very high standard. I have started completing this through mind maps and my initial ideas. Furthermore, I have also written a proposal, which includes a rationale, project concept, evaluation and even proposed research sources. This has allowed me to get a better understanding of what I want to complete and how I am going to achieve this. Creating a project action plan, self assessment and even an evaluation, has allowed me to really get a better understanding on where I can improve and what my best skills are. Completing this stage of my project and using the guide I got through the brief I have had a better understanding of what I need to complete to achieve my goal and feel instantly more organised.

Moreover, once I had read the research page I instantly was able to understand that it wanted me to be able to find and use research methods to help me create my idea. More specifically, I planning to use  Subject research and audience research to begin with, I feel like these specifically will allow me to get a better understanding of who I am specifically making this short film for and what they might may like and what context is ideal for me to include and study before I begin production. Not only this but I am planning on using Harvard research logs, Technical research, Research review, Evidence of ongoing research and relevant evidence of skills I am tying to develop. The different types of research that are listed here will help me be able to develop my skills and general knowledge on what I want to create and the specific genre of psychological horror. This part of the brief has allowed me to get a better understanding of what I need to complete to a very high standard to reach what I want to achieve with my FMP.

Fourthly, reading through the practical part of the brief I can clearly interpret what it is asking of me. It wants me to use all the skills I have developed this last year and all the knowledge I will gain from my research project to complete my creative media short film. To complete this task to a very high standard I am planning to create a production schedule to help me get through this and include everything I need to show my skills. I will post my progress through screen shots and blogs to evidence the work I have been creating and what the uncut footage looks like. Furthermore, I will also include plans, mock ups, scripts and production paperwork. All the things listed above will really help me keep track where I am with my work and create it to a really high standard. The final thing I will include in this part of my project s my final cut of the sort film. This will show all the information I have used and the skills I have developed. 

Finally, the evaluation part of the brief has allowed me to understand that if I nee to evaluate my work, through out, to a high standard. It must also meet the requirements and parameters.

Overall, I feel like I have a very good understanding of the brief and what it wants me to complete. I know have a stronger understanding on what I need to specifically need to complete for each of these set task within the brief and project as a whole.
