Proposal for FMP

Centre Name and Number:
York College 48357
Student Name and Number:
Alice Leeman 2041422
Project proposal title and date:
StageEffects
Main area of activity:
Photography/Graphic Design
Rationale:
I have used the camera in previous projects such as my Iron Bru TV Advert and my music video.
During these projects I was able to keep gaining more and more experience when using the
camera. I am going to be using a camera in my FMP project to take some photos for my magazine
and I can now be confident in using the camera.
I have also made a magazine in a previous project. I made a cover photo and a DPS about ‘Nature
and The Outdoors’. This means I have had experience in using Photoshop and understanding
what is expected to be in a magazine and the different techniques that make the magazine more
appealing.
Project Concept:
The magazine I want to make is more similar to a programme for musical shows that are going to
be/have been on in the local area. I will include things like a ‘What’s on’ page and I would also like
to talk about the Theatre locations in York such as The Royal Theatre or The Grand Oprah House.
This means I will have to go and visit either one of these places (or both) and find out more
information about the shows that go on their. I can take photos of places backstage and hopefully
the auditorium to add with my articles. To do this I will have to book a tour or a guide to take me
around the different rooms backstage.
In my magazine, I would also like to write about a first-hand interview or get first-hand information
from someone who works or acts in musical theatre. I do have someone I feel I am able to contact
who has performed main characters in popular musicals in York so I feel like this would be a good
opportunity to find out more information about the theatre industry. I feel like it would be interesting
for people who live in York, who may be interested in musical events, to learn more about the
performers and actors who are in their town. This may also attract people who don’t usually go out
to see musicals, want to go and watch one.
How will the project be evaluated and reviewed:
When I am looking back at my work I, firstly, would want to make sure that the quality of my work
is good and clear. For example, the pictures shouldn’t be blurry or pixelated and my text shouldn’t
be out of place or not the right colour. I also want to make sure the layout of my magazine is set
out neatly and doesn’t look messy with pictures out of place or overlapping text. I also will need to
analyse my article text to make sure it makes sense and I have added everything I wanted to add
and it isn’t just irrelevant information. This is important to be because I enjoy writing out articles or
things I am fascinated about so I want to make sure I review this section of my work properly.
