R&P Aims

• To ensure that a range of research findings are collected that extend beyond codes & conventions findings

• To make clear relation between specific findings and planning activities and the impact production decisions and outcomes

• To provide examples of those research & planning skills developed over the course of As/A2

Planning Activities

Impact•How effective was your planning and how did it help you in the production phase?

•What did you learn from planning your first production that helped you to improve your planning for the second

Planning Related Skills – What and how did you progress over time/ the production process•Quality & Quantity of planning •Efficiency and accuracy•Range/ diversity•Depth and usefulness•Mastery of specific digital technologies to document and share planning •Use of specific online/digital resources•Time management and execution

Forgotten Research- Important that discussions about research go beyond conventions

• Genre• Audience research and

feedback• Institutional and distribution• Film Certification• Page design and layout• Framing of shots and use of

editing techniques• Use of planning paper and

online resources • Titling analysis• Synopsis

• How did your research into institutions responsible for the production and regulation of the media influence your production work?

• How did you use audience feedback to influence your planning decisions and construction work while it was in progress?
