As we progress into the latter stages of your qualification, ensuring a thorough approach to specialist study in Creative Media Production will give you the preparation needed to support your Final Major Project."

In my opinion I think they announced it quite late and I know it is 4 weeks to complete but it feels rushed for some reason especially as I would have to be doing the final major project at the same time. It is apparently 18 credits so it is necessary to do. I don't really understand what it is and where it came from but I think that once I have everything sorted out properly then it will be nice to do the writing. It is supposed to be 500 to 750 words of formal writing.

I took some screenshots to help me to understand the task. If there are only three parts it should be easy but there is a lot to do to prepare for it. Before I start it I will finish the other tasks that we were given to finish by next week.
