This document contains a student's assignments and action plan for a video production course. For Assignment 1, the student covered how films are made, job roles in the film industry, and getting a job in the industry. For Assignment 2, the student studied crime drama genres, conducted audience research, and created pre-production materials and a trailer for a crime drama. The action plan provides feedback, noting areas for improvement like adding details to job roles and case studies, including missing pre-production materials, and analyzing strengths and weaknesses in more depth for a higher grade. The student agrees to act on the advice to improve.

Action Plan (to improve grade):
Unit 3:
Could you type up your job roles grid and add more detail?
Your producer fact file needs where you can get the qualifications you have listed. What colleges or
universities could you go to?
Unit 5:
Could you type up your case study notes and add more detail?
You are missing the following from your pre-production tasks: script, recce photos, production
schedule, group ideas – now added.
Your evaluation describes your strengths and weaknesses well but doesn’t analyse them. What would
you change if you did this project again? You also need to include illustrative examples (screen
grabs/pictures) to show the editing process (step by step) and which programs and tools you used to
obtain a higher grade. Also what would you say to the audience feedback that your trailer was more
like a short film than a trailer?
