The student began their project with research and planning their script. They wrote a first and second draft of the script. After mind mapping ideas, the student worked on their proposal form and researched documentary formats. They pitched their idea and began arranging meetings and filming with sports clubs. Issues with scheduling caused delays. The student changed projects to a culture and graffiti documentary in Manchester after issues filming the sports clubs. They completed filming and began the editing process. Further shots were captured and research was gathered to add detail. The student finished editing and gathered feedback through a survey to complete their evaluation.
