Extended Diploma in Creative Media Production

& Technology
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.

Project Title From Under the Bed

Section 1: Rationale (approx. 150 words)

Through this course I have gained skills in script writing, editing, and camera work. I have
gained an understanding in the at the media industry works and how I can use the skills I
have gained through this course to find a career within the industry. I have found that I
have gained an interest in script writing, the skills I have gained built upon the ones I had
formed in my English a-level, this has helped to give me a clear goal to work with script
writing in the future, this is as I have found myself to be successful in conveying an idea or
concept in a script and formatting a script appropriately, this why I have chosen this as I
believe I will be the most successful in conveying the skills I have gained through this
course. I have also built skills in photoshop, this is through poster work and photography. I
wish to use these skills to create a poster that represents the idea I am trying to convey.

Section 2: Project Concept (approx. 200 words)

Our concept is surrounding the idea of childhood fears and if they were real. We want to
focus on the idea of that if our childhood fears were real how would they impact an older
person/adult. Our plan is to write a script, aiming to write 10 pages a day til completed,
once planning is completed. Alongside this we aim to produce a sizzle reel, using our own
footage and archive footage, to achieve the feel of our script. The resources we will need
are Celtx, an online script writing platform, a Sony X70 camera and editing software, Final
Cut Pro. We aim to complete our first draft script by the 5th may, this is to see if any
changes need to be made for filming and to get an appropriate amount of feedback to
gauge if anything could be improved or changed. Our research consists of movies of a
similar genre or type and how they presented the idea of childhood or fears and which
locations would be best for filming and how would they need to reflected in the script. We
will be doing both primary and secondary research to get feedback and see what people
are interested in.

Section 3: Evaluation (approx. 150 words)

I plan on reflecting on my project on a daily and weekly basis, using this as a guide for how
my project is going and ho I feel about the progress I have made. I will be reflecting on my
progress using an online platform called Weebly and evidencing them through screenshots
and the work I am reflecting on. My reflections will help me to gain a better understanding
of my project as it allows me to see all the weaknesses with my project and how I can aim
to fix them or work around them. I am working in a pair with Rochelle Inns, this is a positive
as we work well together and have an understanding of how each other works. The
negatives of working in a pair is that we may not always agree and this may cause disputes
or our final project to come out differently or incoherent.
