Proposal

 I have been commissioned by Martin Tucker to create a presentation to give to year 10 and 11 students on their open day at Penwith college. The presentation has to give a students perspective of the college. Martin is going to give his presentation first before i take over. 

I know Martin want me to show the college of in an entertaining and different perspective. A way in which students will be drawn in and will not find it boring. To do this i am going to use a range of different medias from photography, to video's and music videos. I am going to cover a majority of the different subjects in the college. 

    I am going to give my presentation across as a power point. That way there will not be lots of writing and i can explain what is on the slides. It will be easier to get across tot he students if i make a presentation with little text and more use of pictures and videos. Teenagers tend to get bored easily but lots of writing and talking. I also feel i am reaching students on a more personal level if i am talking to them face to face.

  Another reason for using powerpoint is that i can talk over it. I can make it more interesting and draw people into what i say. If i use the communication skills i have learnt in Harveys lessons i can make my presentation different, enthusiastic and more interesting.

  My final reason for choosing powerpoint is that i can adapt the other subject i take to it. I can use the skills i  learn in photography to take more interesting photographs that have been edited in a nice professional way to make the powerpoint more interesting. I can also use the skills i have gained from the national award in music to put into my powerpoint to cover the subject of music.   

   There are many different tasks and activities i need to carry out during this project. I need to make sure i keep up to date with my blog with what i do each day for the project. Any market research i do, any interviews, ideas boards or story boards. I need to make sure i do my market research before i begin making my project so that i have as much background information and guidelines as possible. I need to do several pithes to keep the relationship with my client strong, and so i can show him the projects process and he cang ive me any input on what he likes, doesn't like and what he thinks i can improve. 

  I need to go out and photograph students working and take different landscape shots of the college. I also need to edit these photographs on photoshop, so that when i put them in my blog people are interested in them. The same goes for filming the college and interviewing people. I need to make sure these videos are full of interesting shots and are edited together well. The editing is another activity i need to make sure i complete.

  Finally, i need to put the actual presentation together. I am going to use Microsoft powerpoint to do this and include all my pictures, videos and films on one powerpoint presentation. 

  The resources i am going to use to get information for my presentation are college lectures and present college students. I am going to pick up small bits of information from these people on what the think about the college and what they know about the college. I am also going to use my own knowledge of the college and give my own input. I will also be using the internet for my research and Penwith college moodle.
