FMP Reflect on Primary and Secondary Research

Primary research

Primary research is when people write out survey's or questionnaire and send it to random people using media like Facebook and twitter which can be shared out to other people get different aged or gender taking the questionnaire.



Secondary research

Secondary research is when people get into a small group and s them question's and getting different opinion or different answers. This could be people of different ages and different gender or different religions all in the same room giving different answers to the question being asked.



The importance's of both Primary and Secondary is that their both done in different ways, With primary they use question to get people to answer question being asked and the person could be anybody. With Secondary research you're asking people face to face and with this they could be people who has something relating to the question being asked then someone who has nothing to do with the question, like if it was something to do with driving they could get people who drive to come and give their opinion in a small group.

This is the game we did in class, we had to put the right information under the right research in are pairs. 

This is a primary research since I made a survey.

These's are the results from my survey. The questions was all related to books like what genres, where they buy and how they read them. It's all related to my FMP since my is books so I needed to know what people read and how, so that I know whether to do a paper back or an ebook.

Bookcover drawing

This is my drawing of the cover I want my book to have. As you can see it will be set in a wooded area with someone wearing a black cloak. On the tree there is a carving of a pentagram covered in blood, obviously I'm wouldn't be aloud to actually carve anything into the tree so it'll be ever photoshop or crafted. 

My reason for this cover is because it has a purpose in the story, It's the source to a mystery.

I've got an area in minds, the only thing is I don't have a cloak, so I might need to either borrow one o buy one.

FMP 21st century, Public Opinion, Retro Future, Time

For the FMP I want to base it on 21st Century. It'll be publishing and I'll be writing a story (book)
Making it 21st Century I'll be writing thing stuff that we have in the 21st Century. It's based on paranormal. So far it has 18 chapter it could change, but that's how many chapters I have.

Update on chapters
I've finished writing my story and it's now gone down to 15 chapters. Also From what I've written I would say that I also have a bit of Time cause in the story it does look important in the story so it's both 21st century and time.

FMP

For the FMP I would like to use moving images because I find it easier and it's more fun. But I would consider writing because it's something that i'm really interested in.

Reflection on Units 1-7

Unit's 1, 2, & 3-Media Passport brief-This unit was Leanne, Ed. it was the first unit we did in media. L-was designing a postcard, with 4 picture of bath in the corners. Ed lesson was making a short film using the 180 rule we learnt and locations.

Leanna-I think that choosing the bath abbey was a good idea, i think using the side of it is better instead on the front which most people usually would choose. I think the sky could have been better Changing the colour of the sky and cloud didn't go as planed.

Ed-I think filming Aaron and Ben went well, it was fun filming it. I think choosing a film line that they knew would have been better then making it up. I think that with the bench film with the coffee cup and water bottle I think that it went well because everyone recorded a clip and that edited it was easy to do.  I think that adding music in the background would have made it a lot more better then it being silent.

Steve-The colour wheel went well, i did have a bit difficulty's with it, but then it turned out well. I think I should have chosen a different colour wheel cause most of the colour's I took pictures of didn't go well with it. I think with the type, that went well, it was a bit of  both hard and easy to do. Infographic I think could have gone better if I had the right data.


Unit 4-Christmas Card & Comic Book- This unit was Leanne lesson. This one involved designing a christmas card, starting in November till December. Creating the card we used websites like Pinterest to get idea's for our cards, looking at card prices in shops (cause we were gonna sell them but because of how long it took us to make them that we didn't sell them at the end)

I think using my free time and looking up on the internet to find things to help design things that I didn't know how for my card went well cause I found how to make northern lights and how to make a sea, I would say that went well. What could have been improved on was creating the snow on the sea that could have gone better, could have done a bit more research on how to create snow on water.

We also had to create a comic book. My main character was a spider, a scorpion and a butterfly. We had to create a page on Pinterest with all the comic book ideas from the pictures we found on Pinterest. We also got to use a drawing tablet which gave us the option to use that or sketch and scan on to the computer.

I think that coming up with story went well. It's a paranormal comic so with including the characters, I had to work with I think it went well. I didn't finished my comic completely (Still need to add the other two characters to it) because everyone else had started a week before when I was in Rome and so we had that day to finish it. So I think that could have been better if I got the last two characters drawn on.

Unit's 5 & 6-Caller Unknown This unit was Tobie's and Leanne lesson. It involved writing and producing a short film. The two main things that needed to be included in this film was an unknown caller and a letter. In Leanne we made a moon board including everything we needed for the short film.

What gone well was recording the scene's, I think that cause I had written them down in order, that I think helped it a lot. What could have been improve is that I should have looked back at the clips I had recorded before starting the next clip. Also I think having a second director would have been helpful.

Unit 7-Interactive-This unit was Steve's lesson. Steve's was the popcorn. we had to use flash to create a slide show with how popcorn is made using a steam engine train. We also designed a toy poster as well as a trailer, advertising the toy.

I think for the popcorn the drawing and placing the picture on the pages went well. What could have been improved was the sound affect I didn't really add any so that is something that I could have improve on.

For the toy it would be the house. Because I wasn't sure on how to re draw the house I coped and paste it on the poster and doing that meant I couldn't change the colouring of the house so I would have to change the colouring on the poster then place it on the flash drive in the same place for each one, That took up a bit of time so next time would try and re-draw it on flash and try and save time. 

Cartoon in order
