SMART Targets
Now we have planned our project, the next assignment in this
brief is to create SMART/SMARTER goals for ourselves. These goals will help to
keep us on track and motivated.
The acronym stands for:
S- Specific:
creating a clear and understanding goal, including why, where, when and how.
M-Measurable:
Making sure your goal is measurable so you can tell when you have achieved it.
A-Agreed upon:
Agreement within the group of the goals set
R- Realistic: A
goal that is challenging but achievable by including things you can do and
control.
T- Time-Bound:
Giving goals a deadline to be motivational of achieving it.
E- Ethical:
Setting goals that meet a high ethical standard and not out of your comfort
zone.
R- Resourced:
Commit time, money, information sources or support to enable you to commit
enough to make the goal achievement possible.
The SMART goals that we as a group have set ourselves are:
Specific: The storyline of our animation is to be a 'feel good' and is based on the quote "The world is a book and those who do not travel only read a page." Our 'specific' goal is to make sure that this message comes across to the audience clearly. The reason for wanting the idea to be clear to our audience is because of the moral story we have behind it, and will be ongoing throughout the duration of the animation. We will do this by including scenes with Bill receiving postcards from Amy with 'Seize the day' written on them when he's off travelling. The message will become clear at the end of the animation when the quote earlier mentioned appears on screen.
Measurable: Our shooting schedule is a tool that we completed to make sure that our animation will be completed on time. The shooting schedule tells us what days we will be filming which scene, what times we start and the locations of them. By keeping up to date with our shooting schedule, we will be able to measure when we are close to finishing our animation.
Agreed Upon: Making sure that our group agreed upon the aims and goals that we were set within the group is important so that we are all working towards reaching the same goals, thus being motivated and ready to meet the next.
Realistic: A realistic goal for us to complete would be for us to complete our animation on time with our shooting schedule. This is a realistic goal because it is manageable for us to speed up the process. With four of us in the group and two main roles, anything that we are behind on, the other two in the group who don't have anything to do can be getting on with something else. For example, although myself and Kelly spend days getting the backgrounds and object painted, if we don't have enough time to finish them, this is something we can be working on when Blair and Jack our filming.
Time- Bound: Again, going by our shooting schedule is a time-bound goal. We will have to be in time with the shooting schedule to make sure that we meet our deadline. If we don't meet our deadline, this means that our work will be late in, and will probably make the group lose motivation of finishing.
Ethical: Gaining the highest grade we can with our work ethics, decision making and time management is another goal we have set. By working towards the brief and keeping everything in time with the deadlines and responding positively to feedback given from tutors is setting ourselves a goal that is within our comfort zone, but may need a little more work.
Resourced: As our production is an animation, it will be very lengthy process and something that we will have to be patient in creating and shooting. Myself and Kelly have given up a lot of our time by painting all of the backgrounds and objects needed in our story. By committing this time, we have worked towards meeting our goal of completing our animation on time.
