Project proposal template
In producing the project proposal, and in preparing for the project realisation you should
familiarise yourself with Units 13 of the qualification. 

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

Units 13 require 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, e.g. film, TV, games design etc.

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

Section 1 - Rationale
(Approximately 150 words)

This section provides you with an opportunity to reflect on, review and summarise your
progress and achievements through the first 12 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 disciplines and to outline both your immediate and longer-term aspirations.

Section 2 – Project concept


(Approximately 200 words)

This section provides an opportunity for you to clearly explain the concept and aims of
your project, production or performance and the research and ideas that will support its
development. What you anticipate producing, 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 150 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 description 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 include: 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, magazines, 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 continuously updated as the project
progresses.

Section 1: Rationale (approx. 150 words)


Throughout the course I’ve focused on cinematography and editing. I was
awarded best cinematographer of Year 1 at the end of the first year, and have
only improved upon that skill since. I’ve been cameraman in almost all my
projects, including my year 2 FMP.

Since starting the course, I have learned so much about the production that I
was unaware of before. I had never done storyboarding before but really
enjoyed taking my time to make sketches of shots and ideas. During my FMP
I'm also going to be pushing my camera skills with some completely new
shots.
I’d like to focus on camera work going forward as I have focused so much on
it and would like to keep improving on it. I enjoy being out on the filming days
and helping create what’s seen in the final product

Section 2: Project Concept (approx. 200 words)


The idea of the project is to have a comedy based cooking show with a story
built around it. During the opening you’d see some shots to solidify the idea
of an underlying story here Walt calls Jesse. The main portion of this project
will be the cooking show. This will be the two showing the viewers how to
make a replica of their world class “Blue Meth”. However, this replica will be
made of rock candy. As they finish cooking and begin to break up their
product, it will become very cinematic again. This will be to hint towards
something coming. This will then be followed up with several shots of Jesse
dealing, a gang fight with Jesse where Walt has to come in to save him, and a
recreation of the “This is not Meth” scene from Breaking Bad.

The whole thing should be shot with fast camera movements, but not fast
paced editing as I want it to feel kind of off putting. It should feel weird, and
slightly creepy. This is to help convey the idea that you’re watching people
cook something that in the show is illegal.
Section 3: Evaluation (approx. 150 words)
During this project I’ll be making sure to take behind the scenes photos and
videos making sure to keep a record of everything that went well and wrong
during filming and what we did to fix it. With the amount of people I’ll be
working with, if it’s done wrong or there are any schedule issues then that
may cause the project to become delayed and possibly unfinished.

Something I can see happening is us messing up the recipe. As nobody on


this project has tried it before, we might struggle to get it right which would
cause us to need to buy more products; with the time it takes to deliver, that
wouldn’t be possible. This would mean we’d have to scour every shop to find
our ingredients.
