Task 2: Initial Proposal Form

To pass module 2, you must initiate a project based on the acquisition activities that tutors set at the
start of the module. To help you begin to identify your ambitions for this term, you will need to complete
this initial proposal form. This proposal form helps you to identify the themes, processes and mediums that
are inspiring for you and your development of a creative identity.

There is scope to refine this proposal at a later stage and your personal tutor will give you guidance.
However, to begin, it is important to engage with the prompts in this initial proposal and provide a
personal response to the questions. If you are finding a particular question difficult, it maybe because you
have not engaged fully with the project work on the module so far, or done enough reflection about your
own areas of interest.

At the mid module review point, you will share your proposal intention alongside your evolving work on
the Weebly site. The proposal form is a key tool in all project advice sessions or tutorials so spend time
working on this initial proposal to get the most opportunity for feedback.

1. Reflect on the studio work you’ve done so far on the module and consider the emerging themes,
concepts and questions.

What ideas or themes are starting to emerge from the acquisition tasks? What do you hope to
explore/communicate?

Please use this section to talk about the meaning of this project for you at this stage - what themes or ideas
are beginning to emerge?

Ewen spencer-shoots urban club photography. I was inspired by his series of photos that documented the
urabn club scene from the 90s to 2000s. what I particularly liked about his photos was how he captures
intimacy and people in the moment, for example moments of joy.
In the development of my idea I decided to explore the idea of youth and capturing intimate moments with
a camera. ----I found an old photo album of my parents when they were younger and made a collage by
scanning the images. ----- images used
To further develop my idea I started documenting my university social life in a similar style to ewen spencer.
With My goal being to capture intimate moments by simply taking pictures on phone with flash. Uploaded
my photos onto a pintrest board

My themes so far are: Youth, intimacy, joy, community


-documentary, the photographer is apart of the

Different communities to document


Ballroom/queer events
Graffiti artists
Northern soul
Alternative- punk, emo

2. How will you research this theme/concept?

Reflect on what do you already know about your emerging theme or concept. How can you deepen this
existing understanding? Are there specific books and interviews, film and exhibitions that will broaden
your understanding? Is there is a contemporary and historical context that surrounds your
theme/concept? Are there suggestions made by your tutors and peers that you can follow up?

Consider how you can build your understanding further by becoming more informed of your theme/
concept.

To help deepen my existing understanding of my project I have looked at Media such as– the movie
mid90s , project X, the movie thirteen, “ryelain movie watch”
guinness surfer advert. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y9znA_dwjHw

“movie thirteen” “movie mid90s”


3. From a studio perspective, what materials or processes do you need to source, arrange or
learn to create a wider body of work and exploration?

Alongside identifying the wider themes and questions of your work, consider what materials you
might need to source, digital tools or resources to arrange and learn? Be realistic and reflect on
your time management and organisational skills from this module.

Moving forward, how can you create ways to better organise your workload and time
management to fulfil your potential?

Materials I might need:


Long lens
Fisheye lens
Photoshop
Premire pro
Small digital pocket camera

To better organise my workload and time I am going to schedule shoots ie. book ticktes for events
organise photoshoots with my friends
4. How would you like your work to be received? Is there a specific context that you would like
your work to be seen e.g. a magazine, online, gallery or community space? Describe the impact
that you would like your work to have on your audience.

Originally I wanted my work to be seen in a gallery however now I would like my work to be
shown in a magazine. My Reasoning for this is--I think magazines are more personal and intimate
than galleries or online sources. This is important to me because I want people to feel as if they
are experiencing the moments shown in the photo

5. How will you develop this proposal?

We fully anticipate that this proposal will change as you move through the module, and we expect
you to develop a second draft after the mid module review point. Coming back and amending a
project brief is vital in this stage in your learning - as it allows you to manage your expectations
and ambition at the half way point.

Why might you need to revisit your initial concept? How will you know when things are going
well? How will you plan for when you get stuck or for when things get difficult?

I might need to revisit my initial concept to remind me of my original ideas if I get stuck or start
going off track. I will kn
