Level 2 – Award & Diploma in Creative Media Production & Technology - Unit 8 Project
Proposal pro forma
Name Daniel Williams

Pathway Level 2 Creative media production
Project title Short Film
Section 1: Rationale (approx. 100 words)
In this course I have developed my skills in teamworking through working with a variety of people on sev-
eral different projects. During these projects, I also developed skills such as editing using premier pro and
I exercised my creativity to create ideas and develop my directing skills through bringing those ideas to
life. I often took on roles such as editor and director as I’d shown my strengths in those areas. However I
have also built up some basic knowledge of other areas too such as camera operating and producing.
For my final piece I’ve decided to stick to my strengths and be the director, as this job is the one I’ve
spent the most time practicing and enjoy the most.
Being also interested in all the other areas of production is particularly useful for directing as I need to ex-
plain my vision of the final thing to the other people working on it as best as possible.
This makes use of my development in all production areas, while still allowing me to focus on my creative
skills the most. In future I want to take on roles with a creative lead as I thouroughly enjoy
Section 2: Project concept (approx. 200 words)
My aim for this project is to create a film that keeps the audience in suspense while avoiding typi-
cal horror cliché's which short films are particularly prone to. The film is going to be a short 5-7
minuet horror film in the found footage genre.
The film follows a group of friends, one of which recently received a recording camera for their
birthday. They're all hanging out at one of their houses, situated by the woods, having a great
time while the one friend occasionally records bits they find interesting or want to remember.
They start by introducing a few of the friends. Most footage seen is through these recorded mo-
ments. Anything else is through “security cameras”.
Odd occurrences start plaguing the group, many of which they do not directly witness or realize,
creating dramatic irony as the audience can clearly see. Such events show no actual direct
threat, only evidence of its presence. Things like noises and things being moved outside. One
significant example is their dog staring outside for no reason. Eventually one of these events
prompts them to go outside to find the source of it all, much to the dismay of several people in-
volved. From here the events only get worse such as members going missing or getting lost an
hearing each other's voices coming from the distance despite no one saying anything. Eventually
however the group gathers up and heads back inside as they're too scared. Only to find the dog
is now outside staring in.
We will be using equipment such as back up audio recording in case the camera audio is too
poor, along with a camera. We will also watch other found footage films such as “The Blair witch
project” to get inspiration for our film.
Section 3: Evaluation (approx. 50 words)

To properly evaluate my work, I’m going to keep a recorded timetable of events on my weebly so
I know what I need to reflect on. In order to keep track of our progress we will hold regular pro-
duction meetings which we will record and discuss and evaluate our progress.

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.
