Sit downs with tutors about my ideas for FMP

One-to-ones with tutors

Last week I had one-to-ones with 2 of my tutors, the first tutor was my course leader and the main teacher of what we actually had to do FMP wise, the second tutor was my concept art teacher from last year, who is their to assist with arty needs. These two would be my council because with my FMP I am not just writing a narrative a for a game, I aim to draw some main characters and create various drafts then a final then put the final draft  in to a scanner form their into Photoshop. The reason I want to do this is because Photoshop is one of my weakness and another one being my English (things like punctuation, grammar and the basics which I never picked up in Primary school, so in such I am currently resitting my English GCSE to improve my English). 

 My first tutor sat down with me and ran through and looked at the ideas I had, I think at this point I new I wanted to just go down the writer route because if had to choose something other than writing it would probably come down to: 3d environment design, something to do with what a actual game designer would do in his or her job and then the writer route. My first tutor agreed with me that I should pick the idea that I have written the most about which was Deaths Apprentice, by the end of the one-to-one he had written a checklist for me on a piece of paper, so from then on I started working on one of the points on the checklist which was a basic plot, so I had to give a history of events before the story that linked with the lore I had written on the second draft and then give the list of events that happened during the story. I can see the point in doing this because each key point from the basic plot would become a chapter. 

At this moment on 13/09/2012 at 13:50 GMT this is where I am currently in the time line, I aim to have it completed by tomorrow, by the way beware of SPOILERS in the timeline, all I can say is you've been warned. Read at your discretion.

After my one-to-one with my course leader the day before being Thursday 6th September, the next day being the 07/09 I had my one-to-one with my art teacher, I explained my ideas and she read through the word file to get a feel of what I am doing for FMP because really at the moment I can't really describe it in a sentence. I told her my intentions for the Arty side of my FMP and she said to research through primary and secondary sources to collect images of what I envisage these people to look like. So I added this and other things she said to look into on the checklist underneath from the day before.

The writing at the top is my first tutors and tells me what I need to do for the story part of the FMP. The writing underneath is my own but is the comments what my art tutor said I needed to for the character drawings and anything else.
