1. Unit 4, 5 and 62 – Proposal
Proposal: content outline;
Overall we are going to create a digital video in order to promote media studies as a course and the
college in general, the content of the video will consist of various footage of facilities and rooms
around college such as the reception, library, refectory, and obviously class rooms. During this
footage I will highlight the different facilities and resources such as computers, projectors, books,
vending machines, etc. to show what is available around college. The main footage will be held in
the class room, I will show a lesson which is being held and show the atmosphere inside the
classroom and how the tutors interact with students. I will also hold interviews with the students to
show their opinions on the course and the college in order to reassure future students that they are
making the correct choice in college and what course to choose.
Target audience;
The target audience for this project is going to be student’s ages 16 years old and over, as it is mainly
people who have just left high school however it could be aimed at students as old as 20 years old.
Because of this quite young target audience we need to use quite a fast paced, short and punchy
technique in order to keep them engaged. We could use quite an upbeat background track with fast
cut scenes and bright colours which will add excitement to the video as if the video was to come
across boring it wouldn’t persuade the students to apply at CAMSFC.
Resources;
In order to produce our digital video we will need various resources such as a camera, lighting
equipment, microphone, computer, editing software, etc. all of this is supplied by CAMSFC, however
if we were to be funding our product independently then we would have to pay for these resources.
The only downside to this is that this equipment might not always be available in college; also if we
don’t look after the equipment properly we could damage it which would result in us paying for it.
We need to make sure we do not misplace our tape as it could be recorded over by another team or
someone in college, or we could lose it completely.
Personnelrequirements, eg cast and crew, team, specialists;
Our team consists of three people Kyle Mckendrick, Tre Wallace and Alex Gormersal. There are
various roles which we have to carry out in order to produce our digital video, our roles throughout
the production will alternate so that we can all be responsible for everything, for example, during
some of our footage we are going to interview students, during this stage Alex may be in charge of
the camera whilst Kyle and Tre are being interviewed. Then the roles would alternate again so that
Kyle or Tre is in charge of filming. The same technique will be used for the editing as well. Jamie
Ingham specialist at hand if we need any help setting up the equipment or have any questions in
general about filming or the software. Due
to us all working as a team from college, we
do not need to hire any people to carry out
any roles in the production. However if we
did need to look into this, below is a print
screen from my Unit 1 work which is a
similar unit to the one we are doing now,
this shows the average wage for different
members of the team.

2. Budget;
Below shows a couple of print screens from my unit 1 work which is a similar unit to what we are
doing now, the same equipment was needed therefore we will base our budget on this:
Project schedule:
Part of assignment 2 was to create a product schedule for all of the tasks that this unit entails, below
is a print screen of my product schedule which breaks down the different tasks so I can easily read it
and keep track of my progress.
