LEVEL 3 VFX & ANIMATION Year 1 – Detailed FMP Guidance
NOTE: THIS IS A SECOND YEAR GRADING CRITERION - for first years, EVIDENCE OF PROBLEM SOLVING WILL ADD TO YOUR 'PRACTICAL SKILLS' EVIDENCE
On the right is a decent example from Alex that is at least thorough in identifying problems and presenting them in a visually interesting way.
The point about 'problem solving' is that there will almost certainly be examples of it scattered elsewhere throughout your FMP, but giving it its own tab will force you to be clear about identifying what YOU think are good examples to showcase your 'decisive demonstration of initiative' during the project...
Alex's full example here.
George (see right) doesn't separate out his 'theoretical' and 'practical' problems, however this example is included because working on a story idea is very much within the 'theoretical' area.
The presentation is quite dry but at least you can get an idea of what might constitute a theoretical problem and how you might present evidence of a solution.
George's full example here.
Bea from 2021 is another example where narrative reflection was a key aspect of 'theoretical' problem solving.
You'll most obviously face 'practical' problems but having an eye on issues other than the practical should help you to develop stronger evidence of theme and context, both important to the overall success of your project.
Bea's example here.
