For my FMP I am writing a book so skills I would need is:
Imagination-Because I'm using a theme (21st century) I need to come up with a story based on that theme as well as a story to go with it that I'll like writing. So for my book I join 21st century with the paranormal because I like the paranormal and since I'm writing it I want to add something that I like to it.
Grammar & synonym-With writing I know for a fact that I am not good with grammar so I'll be using a grammar checker to help and double check my work in case something of mistakes or something that does make sense. Grammar check website- This is the one I use.
Another thing in my story is that I want to try to use different words when one of the character has a speaking part, like instead of saying. she said or say's, So I used Synonym website so that I can write in a word and get words relating to that word but more interesting. Synonym website This is the one I use.
Camera/Photos- I'm also going to need to create the book cover and that includes taking photos. So for the cover I need to get all the right materials for the photo (Like a pentagram, hooded cloak blood and a model) The next thing is the area I need to take the photos since it's based in the woods, so that includes looking for an area full of tree's. The next is to schedule a day that me and Conna was free to do the photoshoot, Sat 7th May was the day we did the the photoshop. Lucky for me I had my own camera so I used that to take pictures.
Chapter timeline-I need to figure out whats going to happen on each chapter and and how many chapters there's going to be in the book. It also helps me know whats done and what been grammar checked so that I don't need to checked it again. Also if I ended up joining chapters and need to delete chapters if that happened. (started with 18 chapters ended up with 15 chapters)
Second reader-When I've done all my writing and it's all been checked through, I'm going to need a another person to read and go through it to make sure somethings make sense or what I need to improve on or cut out. With the first chapter I showed mum, she pointed things out to me that didn't need to be in there as well as what could be a bit better, So that definitely showed me that I do need a second person opinion and I think mum is the perfect person because she loves reading so she can definitely point out any areas and comment what need to be change. (Not looking forward to that)
Skills that I already have
Photography - The photography I used to take my front cover photo I already knew from this course when we did some photography at the beginning.
Writing/Imagination- Because I've already done writing like fanfic and my own stories at home I already knew I could easily come up with some some and since we had to write a script including two themes that needed to be in script, I knew I could find ways to include 21st century into the story.
