Project idea proposal

1. Project Idea Proposal
The objective of the project is to create the first five minutes based on a topic of our choice.
One of the topics we have thought about doing is the prospect of university, including the
benefits, drawbacks and Uni life.
This is a good topic to do the filmon as it is very topical based on our age as we are
currently considering Uni ourselves, therefore we will have a big range of ideas as to what to
include in our documentary. Also we will have a wide range of access to professionals
considering the people at our college such as students and also teachers who can give their
insight into the prospect of going to university.
However there may be some limitations to what we can achieve when choosing to make our
documentary on university. For example we might struggle to make the film very
entertaining, as the topic itself isn't very fun.
The most appropriate style for this film would most likely be a participatory or an
expositional mode.
Narrative style - Direct address from the film makers to the camera, VOX POP with experts
and also with ordinary people such as students and people on the street who may have
decided whether or not to go to university in the past.
Target Audience - Ages 16-18 as these are the people who generally deal with the issue of
deciding to go to university or not, therefore they will be the ones who the filmwill hold
useful information for.
Filming Locations - Around the college and on the streets.
Experts - College staff
VOX POP - People on the streets who may have gone to Uni, students at the college who
may be considering to go to university.
