Now that our final major project is coming together, we have to assign each other goals that need to be completed. To help keep motivated these goals should be SMART or even SMARTER. The acronym stands for:
S - Specific: This refers to how precise the goal is. A good SMART/SMARTER goal answers the questions of what, who, why, when and where. In our animation our main target was make sure it was inspiration and give people the chance to realise that they need to follow their dream, however unreachable it may seem. To do this, our storyline was an ideal account of how life is, only focusing on the good parts and not the bad. The music also made it fun, and kept the audience interested in watching.
M - Measurable: This refers to tracking the progress of the goals that are created. A date needs to be set, and you need to ask, is it realistic I will reach this goal by the deadline? In our final major project, me and Jack created a detailed shooting schedule. During production, due to slacking and absences from the other half of the group, we were soon behind schedule. To catch up, and stick to our goal, me and Jack stayed extra hours, and worked through breaks in order to catch up.
A - Agreed: This refers to the goal being agreed by all participants of the group. An example of this is when we all agreed to split up into pairs. We had a group meeting and realised that we were behind in our pre-production work. To catch up, we thought we would be able to work much faster if we split into pairs, and got on with separate work.
R - Realistic: This goal is self explanatory. The goal needs to be realistic, and also relevant. Will it be achievable? What actions need to be taken to to achieve the goal, and be as controlled as possible. For example, when we created our shooting schedule we under-estimated how long it was going to take to shoot. As we were delayed shooting, and members of our schedule were absent, it forced our schedule behind anyway, which taking everything into account let to an extra full day of shooting. The shooting scheduled was detailed, but now I know how long an animation takes to shoot, in the future the schedule will be changed accordingly.
T - Time-bound: Goals must have a deadline. If a goal doesn't have a deadline, it's easy to but it off, either to the last minute or not get it done at all. It is good to set short-term targets in-between a deadline, to show the steps required to achieve the goal. During the process of filming, me and Jack had to work even harder to get as close to our schedule as much as possible, due to the other half of the group's lack of punctuality and attendance.
E - Ethical: The goals that are set are meant to fit in-between your moral compass. Goals need to be set into place to ensure people don't get insulted. For example, in our animation we had a scene where our two main characters had sex. This could easily offend some viewers, but as our animation targeted people between in the ages of 15-25 we felt this age group wouldn't be offended as a whole.
R - Resourced: This means the support that needs to be done for the goals to be achieved. Even if sacrifices need to be made. During filming we were delayed in our filming. To rectify this, me and Jack and stayed many hours after scheduled, and through lunch breaks to catch up.
