Level 2 – Award & Diploma in Creative Media Production & Technology - Unit 8 Project

Proposal pro forma

Name Melissa Allsworth


Pathway Level 2 Creative media production
Project title Short Film, FMP
Section 1: Rationale (approx. 100 words)
In this course I have gathered some key skills in editing and camera operating, I have also developed
leadership/teamwork skills. The roles I am taking on for my final major project is the scriptwriter and in in
charge of cinematography/cameras. These skills will help me to open my creative mind to make a great
script that really structures our movie. It will also help me develop my cinematography and camera skills.
In the future I would either like to become a director or a camera operator for big time movies or series. All
this practice will ensure me a bright future in media department.

Section 2: Project concept (approx. 200 words)


My aim for this project is to make the audience really unsettled and wanting more by adding the suspense
theme. So, I will be doing lots of research of suspense and the director Jordan Peele as his films make
people feel on edge. This project is going to be a short horror/thriller movie roughly around 5-7 minutes.
It’s going to base around found footage of four kids going to the forest after their dog notices something
strange outside. They all go to investigate but come across some inhumane creatures that the audience
doesn’t really get to see but can hear the creatures in the background. We are also going to include dra-
matic irony; this is where the audience knows more than the characters do in the film. We are going to
achieve this by creating strange sounds and things moving in the background that the character doesn’t
know about but the audience can clearly notice it. The resources I am using for research are websites ad
YouTube videos about suspense and how I can achieve it with my audience. I will be using techniques
such as dramatic long silences, building emotion towards the characters and have an extreme decision
made.

Section 3: Evaluation (approx. 50 words)


To keep track of my progress I will be evaluating my work on Weebly thoroughly and reflecting/improving
after feedback from my peers or tutors. I also will be taking part in recorded production meetings which I
will then evaluate an reflect on my ideas. I will also be looking back at ideas and trying to improve by
adding more suspense and uneasy themes that will make my audience spooked to their core.

Project proposal template


In producing the project proposal, and in preparing for the project realisation you should familiarise yourself
with Unit 8 of the qualification. 

In particular, you should understand the assessment and grading criteria which will be used to determine
standards of achievement. 

Unit 8 requires you to produce a project proposal of about 500 words, excluding the project action plan and
bibliography. Project proposals should not be so succinct that they do not address the requirements listed
below, nor should they be excessively long and unfocused.

Your project proposal should be sufficiently challenging to ensure you have the best possible chance of
meeting the grading criteria.
Your project proposal should include:
 Centre name and number
 Candidate name and number
 Project proposal title and date
 Main area of activity/ pathway.

The project proposal must be word processed and presented under the headings listed here:

Section 1 - Rationale
(Approximately 100 words)

This section provides you with an opportunity to reflect on, review and summarise your progress and
achievements through the first 7 units of the qualification.

You should outline the knowledge, skills and understanding you have acquired. What you know now, and
what it means to you, compared with what you knew and could do before you started the course, and how
this has influenced your choice of discipline or disciplines and your project proposal.

It also provides an opportunity for you to explain your reasons for choosing a particular discipline or disci-
plines and to outline both your immediate and longer-term aspiration.

Section 2 – Project concept


(Approximately 250 words)
This section provides an opportunity for you to clearly explain the concept and aims of your project, produc-
tion or performance and the research and ideas that will support its development. What you anticipate pro-
ducing, the levels and types of resources that you will need and an indication of the form in which you will
complete and present your final realisation within the allocated timescale.

This might include an indication of when and how you will use studios, equipment and other resources, how
you will make use of tutorial and peer feedback and where you will incorporate independent study.

Section 3 - Evaluation
(Approximately 50 words)

This section provides an opportunity for you to explain how you will reflect on and evaluate your work, as
both an ongoing activity and at the conclusion of your project.

You should describe how you intend to record your decision-making and how you will document changes to
your ideas as your work progresses.

The evaluation should be referenced to your stated aims and be reflective and analytical rather than a de-
scription of actions completed.

When working in collaboration with others you should comment on how this may impact either positively or
negatively and steps you can take to minimise disruption in your own progress.

Additional requirements, not included in the 500 -word limit of the proposal:

Project action plan and timetable:


This section provides you with an opportunity to outline your planning and organisation over a period of
weeks and the activities you will need to carry out in order to successfully complete your project in the
agreed time frame. The more time and thought you give to planning your project, the more successful it is
likely to be.

It is important that you consider how you will balance ambition, time and realism in the realisation of the
project. You should also include what you are going to do, how you will do it and by when. Remember to in-
clude: time spent sourcing materials and other resources to conduct research, seek feedback from tutors
and peers, and identify when you will carry out independent study.

Bibliography (Harvard Format):


This section provides an opportunity to record the initial research sources, both primary and secondary,
that you intend to use.

Your sources of research should be as wide as possible and could include libraries, galleries, books, maga-
zines, films, computer games, websites, blogs, social media, radio programmes, archive material etc.
Where appropriate, you should use the Harvard system of referencing. The bibliography should be continu-
ously updated as the project progresses.
