Kieran Askew

This unit requires you

to produce a written project proposal of about 500 words. The proposal should address the following:
Provide a brief review of your progress and achievement to date, prior to starting UNIT 13. Consider
skills acquired, working methods, achievements and general / specific progress in aspects of
theory and practical.
Over the course of this course Id say that I have gained a good number of skills for these last few
years. Some of the practical aspects to these include things like; learning editing software like Final Cut
Pro X Adobe After Effects. Learning Cameras like the Canons & Panasonic Gh4 and crane operation.
As far the theoretical side to film goes, having film breakdown lessons with Darren have been personally
very useful. One of these being the breakdown of Genre we did for Film Noir was partially good.

What is your project concept and rationale?

My project is to be a short British Social Realist piece about two men in Workington. A father and a
Son. The project is focused around their relationship, how when they once they are forced upon oneanother they struggle to re-connect at first, but through talking to on-another they gradually begin to
reform that broken bridge.

How will your project be evaluated and reviewed?

One of the reasons I chose this subject area is that I wanted to make something that felt like it was
home-grown in Workington and it was something that reflected Workington. As such I will be getting
family and friends from the area to review the piece upon completion. I will also be doing self evaluation,
again on project completion.
In addition provide: A timetabled action plan
My main aims with the timetable for this project is that Im currently looking at shooting on Thursday the
2nd of June, with a second shoot day Monday the 6th of June is necessary, I expect this will be the
case. After this, I will begin the edit, I would hope that the Edit takes no longer than two weeks, starting
on the 7th of June and finishing around the 17th, which is the last Friday before my deadline of the 20th
of June.

I also plan to continuously add to my blog throughout this time, mostly in the form of daily session
reviews as well as a steady stream of research on my blog.

In addition provide: A bibliography detailing all research sources.
