Ual Proposal Form

Level 2 – Award & Diploma in Creative Media Production & Technology - Unit 8 Project
Proposal pro forma
Name Sophie Terry-Short

Pathway Level 2 Creative media production
Project title Short Film
Section 1: Rationale (approx. 100 words)
One of the skills I have developed during this course so far is directing. Before I started, I had no
experience with it but now I’ve done it for 2 of our past projects (TV show trailer and TV advert).
I’ve also learnt exactly what a director’s job is and what they do, which happens to be slightly
different to what I initially thought. I’ve enjoyed learning about directing as well as doing it, which
is why I chose this role for the FMP. My short-term goal is to move onto level 3 and my long-term
goal is to work in the media industry doing production work.
Section 2: Project concept (approx. 200 words)

The goal length of our trailer is 10 minutes which I think is realistic for the idea we have. The con-
cept of our trailer is teens having a euphoria themed party and there is a psychopathic serial
killer watching them through a window. A few of the teens will decide to leave the party and later
regret it after getting followed by the killer. This links to hope as the teens will be hoping they sur-
vive the night. A skill I will develop during this project is editing as I will work with the editor to
help with putting the movie together. While I do this, I will pick up on some editing skills. Some of
the equipment we will use is a tripod, zoom recorder and camera which we will borrow from the
college – we have used all of these in past projects before. For research I have watched some
short horror movies which have given me inspiration for this project. The makeup and outfits the
teens will wear is inspired by euphoria. The theme most of the movie will be quite dark and
gloomy as it’s a to make it scarier. During the party scenes we will use colours such as pink, blue
and purple - all inspired by euphoria.
Section 3: Evaluation (approx. 50 words)

During the whole project I will update my Weebly regularly with research, where I’m at with pro-
duction and skills etc. I will also get feedback from my teachers and peers and use this to im-
prove where necessary. We will also do recorded production meetings to update where we’re at
in the project.

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

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
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.
