One of the elements that needed to be completed for Advanced
Research Strategies is a timetable for the 12-week duration. The timetable is
meant to help us prepare for the different aspects of the project such as
research, shoots as well as including free time. This way we can make the
correct preparations for each part ahead of time, and planning how long each
part may take in advance. This will allow me to keep track of my progress, and
see what I have to complete on what day.
I added 4 different categories throughout the timetable;
Research – this would be adding to the research from this module. It
would be connected with the days focused on blogging, and project development.
Blog – this would be focusing on catching up with my blog and making
sure all my ideas, research, plans and development were documented here.
Skills– this would include any days I will take part in learning different
skills such as a large format camera, or learning new editing skills both with
still and film.
Project Development – this would be the days I am developing work I
have already created, research I have found and any ideas I have. I want to be
able to push myself, and my ideas to the best of my ability. This time would
also allow me to think about the final show and how I want to display. Also
time to print, mount and display work at the show when the time comes.
I have also added time for other projects such as Independent
Research Project, both text and practice for my PowerPoint presentation. Also
time to focus on Pro Frameworks. I want to be able to give myself time to do
these things and not try to fit them in my spare time. I’ve also added the days
I work part time, and tried to keep a good balance between free time and
working days.
The final table shows all the different elements. I’ve tried to look
at the time needed for each element and fit this in the time scale. I’ve also
tried to make sure that my blog is the most used time, as this takes me the
longest to collect all my research etc. together.
