Stage (5). Reflect.
Stage 5, follows your first practical activity and all further practical activities.
You'll use the same reflective method (The Gibbs Reflective Model) used to reflect on your research. You'll use the same 5 or 6 prompts...
What Happened - How do I feel it went - What was good/bad - Analysis - followed by a plan.
Most of the prompts above, only need to be short responses. The analysis section is the most important as it offers the opportunity to explain and Analyse your work. The plan that follows the analysis needs to be detailed too.
It's important that once you've uploaded your work into your design sheet it's analysed or at least explained in terms of...
1. What have I learned (Photography -wise)?
2. Is the work meeting the brief and or the criteria?
3. What could I have done differently that would have resulted in a better outcome?
4. Evaluate the extent to which the stages interrelate with each other and how important/useful this is. *Use the word interrelate in your explanation.
These four sub-prompts used in the analysis section are advised as the minimum.
The final section of the reflection is the Plan AKA "Action plan" or "Planned intentions".
Finally Explain
After you've done your first shoot you then do a series of additional shoots where you try and improve the work over several stages until you run out of time. Each of these shoots needs to be preceded by a plan and so you go through a process of repeating stages 3, 4 and 5. So, for the duration of the brief you then...
Plan - Do - Reflect usually several more times until you reach the final stage 6.
That's it, that is your way of working from now on.
- Research first
- Reflect on research.
- Plan 1st practical work
- Do - produce your first piece of practical
- Reflect on your practical work
- Plan next practical work
- Do -
- Reflect
