Formal Proposal Rationale Over the past 7 units

Formal Proposal

Rationale Over the past 7 units I have learnt a lot of different skills while some are more developed and I think will actually be useful and others need to improved or have showed me what i need to improve on. The news journalism brief helped me get used to typing in a specific style. The photojournalism brief helped me learn different types of shots and how to use a camera more in depth. The other briefs helped me learn how to use various programs and editing skills for the future. I'm hoping that I will make use of all these skills in the FMP especially the graphic design.

Project Concept For my project I need to produce a few different things but I think the first most important one would be the DPS since only till I'm sure of what the focus of my magazine is can I make things like the front cover. The magazine I am thinking of covering is PC Gamer a magazine that reviews games and gives information about the latest news. My plan is to write a review on a game for the DPS and then have the front cover be related to that game. I won't just be saying how fun the game is when I look at a game I also take into account things like: Sound design, Atmosphere, Writing and the overall structure. But I'll probably talking about sound most of the time since that is a hobby of mine. I'll start by researching PC Gamers style of writing and the order of what they cover things in. The main equipment I will need is a computer that has Word and Publisher as well as Indesign and probably Photoshop.

Evaluation I will evaluate my work by comparing it to either my previous work and try to make it exceed that and by comparing it to other peoples work. I will also try and get other people to critique my work. Once I'm finished i will evaluate the FMP fully by looking back on all the work and thinking and releasing all the things I could of done better and thinking about how I could improve to do those things.

Production Schedule/ Action plan Week one: • Tuesday: Work on Part one- The Big Idea covering the justification. and deciding on what medium I will do and why. • Wednesday: Work on Part one- The Big Idea writing and finishing the project proposal. Also thinking about what magazine I will take inspiration from and what subject I will write about. • Friday: Work on Part one- The Big Idea Researching types of magazines and DPS's. I will also start a little bit on the research. Week Two: • Tuesday: Work on part one- The Big Idea working on the presentation. And continuing to work on Part two • Wednesday: Work on part two- continuing research. Going into more depth and detail on my existing research. • Friday: Work on part two continuing research. On chosen magazine style. and looking into how to write more detailed DPS.

Research Sources/ Bibliography For Primary research I will go and refine my knowledge on what I'm reviewing and make sure to learn all the key points. Since my main point of interest is a game I already have a lot of experience with I do not need to do tons of extra research its more like I need to piece the information I have together and try and make it make sense. For primary research I could also go over my existing notes and ideas. As for secondary research I will look at pre-existing articles and reviews to build up my knowledge. One of the Pages I will be referencing the most is the Bloodborne Wiki which is an amazing user created wiki page with all the information about the game on I will be using this website for its free use images and quotes. I will also be using sites like PC Gamer, IGN and other gaming magazines and reviewing sites for specific inspiration. Links I'll use for Research PC Gamer (1993) PC Gamer.
