For my Foundation Degree Media course at Newcastle College, I was told that I needed to come up with SMART targets for 5 of my modules. For those of you who don't know what a SMART Target is, it stands for Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Reasonable and Time.
Here are each of my targets:
Alternative techniques: For this module I have to create a short video report. My idea was to film at my work experience at Arpeggio films and interview my employers. My target is to ask for permission this by November 4th. This will give me enough time to plan the idea out further before I need to pitch it to my lecturer.
Work Based Learning: For this module I will find at least 2 jobs within the industry by November 17th. I will look at several websites advertising work in the industry and find ones that will be suitable for me.
Drama Planning: I have to have fully planned out a 10 minute fiction film, to the point where I am ready to shoot, by the end of the year. Due to this, I feel that I should tell my lecturer my idea for the film, so he can tell me if it's good enough and I can focus on planning it. I will do this by 12th.
PPD: The area of filmmaking I am most interested in is editing. My target is to find out what specific skills an editor needs. I will do this by looking on websites that have information on the subject. I will then list these skills on this blog as evidence of my research. I will have completed this target by November 7th.
Digital Skills: I am very interested in using the time-lapse technique. As I know very little about the technique, my target is to learn how to do a time-lapse by November 7th. This will give me enough time to find a book on the topic and film some test footage to practise the technique on.
I'll be using this blog to talk more about my progress in each of these modules during my course.

Beacon Hill Arts
I've been doing some work experience with Arpeggio films, who helped establish Beacon Hill Arts (whom I have worked with previously). I have been mentioned on their Facebook page which I have posted a link to below

Here are also a couple of short films I worked with them on:
