Week 4 – Project Proposal
Today in our meeting with David, it was time for our project proposal. This was an informal affair, where we discussed the following areas of the project with David:
Working title, project outline, requirements from the client (their brief), our group aims and objectives (directed towards the brief), our own individual learning outcomes, roles and research.
David seemed pleased with our progress so far, but instructed us to alter our learning objectives once again. My individual learning outcomes were too wordy, so David suggested creating succinct bullet points explicitly stating the learning outcomes, instead of a paragraph including context of why these are our objectives. David also suggested thinking of ways to draw out these outcomes – how we would assess them. To that end we could ask for feedback from the clients, tutors and peers. This would allow the reflective summary to examine to what extent our individual objectives had been achieved.
We also suggested a resources that each member of the team had bought, Ric Viers’ The Location Sound Bible (2012) that the library could invest in. As well as the blog being professional through application – this meant not filling the blog with the technical aspects of polar patterns, etc. but instead key relationships between the teams. David also suggested a session with Jack Shelbourn which included problem solving skills such as where/how to boom professionally when working with the DoP.
Work for the following week therefore included fixing up the individual learning objectives, continuing posting and researching for the blog, and collaboration with the film group – additional location scouts, ideas on actors/title sequence, etc.
