During this weeks one to one with Wendy, we discussed the FMP portfolio and the Critical Review of Practice. Both elements of my FMP have been in the fount of my mind for some time.

Following on from my meeting with Wendy, I managed to complete the Geology film that I had been working on with Anthony. As an ambassador for the Jurassic Coast, Anthony was able to speak very eloquently and passionately about the area’s geology. I subject that I felt was essential to include as it represents the […]

Today I had my one to one with Wendy, the first in some time. I had elected not to meet with her sooner as I had set myself to task gathering as many audio recordings and stills/video pieces as I could. The aim was to get an objective overview of what sort of likely project […]
