Brief
Your ongoing work will be engaging with your chosen genre, whether that is developing, working across, or challenging ideas of a particular genre.
It will be in the early stages of demonstrating critical research, identifying a methodical approach and building on ideas developed earlier in this unit. This means that the project will be developing a wider scope than previous assignment work.
Consider how best to present your work in progress to best reflect your ideas and to get the most productive feedback to help you sustain and push your ideas forward. Remember this assignment is a snapshot of your self directed project ‘in progress’. It is not expected to be fully resolved.
As well as visual material (contact sheets, work prints, etc. depending on the nature of your practice and your project) you should include a short text (around 500 words) OR an equivalent audio/visual presentation (4 minutes) setting out:
- How you are exploring the specific genre, where your work sits in relation to your ideas of genre classification.
- A reflection on the practitioners and contextual research you’ve explored so far and how this work is helping you to develop your ideas.
- How might text form a part of your inquiry, or if not why is it not useful?
- A brief self-evaluation which identifies how you plan to develop your work further.
- Questions or issues around your work that you want to raise in discussion with your tutor.
You can also post your work to the Self Directed Project Forum for peer feedback.
Use this Assignment 6 activity to submit a link to a summary of your assignment activity and a reflection on how your work matches the learning outcomes (project in progress). This will notify your tutor that the work is ready to view and that you are ready for a 1-1 tutorial.
For this assignment, I have extended the padlet that I started for Exercise 1
