(Detailed Weekly
Summary)
This week I listed the various tasks I
would need to do to complete the
project. I had to consider what tasks
were needed so that all of the criteria
are covered. I then transferred this
information onto a schedule. The
schedule will help me keep up to date
with tasks and help me reschedule tasks
that I haven’t completed. I have also
started a mind map, which will contain
primary and secondary research. This
will help me with ideas for my project.
The schedule has been posted to the
blog, but will edited and reposted if
there is a reason to.
I may continue with the mind maps
next week so that I have broader
understanding of what I’m going
to. Also next week I will write up
what I understand, gather my
project ideas and list the method in
which I will carry out my media
product. This means the project
schedule may need to changed.

mind map. I have looked into various
ideas through secondary research. I
have listed different forms of media and
looked into the different ideas. I looked
into animation and animators so I had
an idea of what to do for my project.

final major project proposal. This
