PROPOSAL PART 1
Rationale
Reflecting upon the first 12 units of this course I can say confidently that I have progressed immensely
from when I started up until now. Each unit covered has helped me enforce the habits and tendencies that
are required to produce a worthwhile and well received piece of work. By completing these units I have
gained experience in creating a number of different mediums, for example social media and advertising,
short films and documentaries as well as more practical skills such as stop motion. These productions have
also allowed me to gain vital experience in performing certain techniques and practices widely used within
the media industry. An example would include editing, scriptwriting, camera techniques such as shot
reverse shot and the 180 degree rule and also researching effectively. Not only have I been learning how to
create a wide variety of media productions, I have also been learning how to properly evaluate and reflect
upon my own work. As a result I believe I have steadily been improving my standard of work in order to
prepare myself for this final project and ensure it is of the highest standard and grade. After all of this
work over the last 2 years, I have learned a lot about myself and what in particular I enjoy the most about
the production process. I have come find real enjoyment in the editing process and find it compelling and
exciting to perform. It is for this reason that my chosen specialism for which my final project will be marked
on is editing. I hope to carry this recently found love further into my career, nurturing my skills gradually,
eventually being able to earn a living from my work as an editor within a range of mediums.

Project Concept
The basic concept of my final project is a documentary feature covering the town of High Wycombe and
its apparent problem with organized terrorist activities. I will aim to focus on the history of the town and
the nature of it today. I will examine the past incidents and residents that have been accused, prosecuted
or attributed to terrorism. I will also attempt to uncover the fears and questions that both residents and
outsiders have about the town. The main aim of the production is to inform people and better understand
myself what is causing the problems in High Wycombe. I want to know why this area in particular has a
problem with terrorism. The research of this production will be extremely important since it will form the
basis for the majority of the documentary. It will aim to recall past incidents which will need to be
accurately described. I will also need to perform interviews of relevant people in order to explore the entire
issue with regard to both sides of each story. This will require careful planning and preparation if it is to be
executed both professionally and efficiently. Since my chosen specialism is editing and documentaries tend
to have a simplistic or boring style of editing, I have been advised by my tutor to find a way to show my
skills as an editor in an effective way. He suggested employing the use of creative b-roll footage and
transition shots. This is another aspect that will need to be planned in order for it to look professional. The
last thing to worry about is the fact that the topic can be sensitive and I must be sure not to offend anyone
in the process of production.

Evaluation
The evaluation section of this production is a vital part which will demonstrate how I have progressed
throughout. It will help me reflect on what I have been doing well and also what can be improved as well as
how I will attempt to do it. This evaluation will come in a number of different forms, the first being a daily
log in which I will detail what work was completed both inside and outside of college making sure to
distinguish between the two. This will be brief daily explanations touching on what went well, what didnt and
any changes I intend to make. The next portion of the evaluation will come in the form of end of week
video logs summarising each week fully and more comprehensivly. For my reflection of the filming and
editing stage I will produce a short behind the scenes video detailing the experience of filming. As well as a
detailed log of the editing process since this is my chosen specialism. Throughout the production I will also
need to be gathering lots of feedback from both peers, teachers and other sources to help gauge the
success and approval of my work. Finally I will produce a full, detailed written evaluation at the end of the
production. This will help to tie everything together and formally assess how I have done in this project and
course as a whole.
