The day after the project proposal help tutorial, I had my 1 to 1 tutorial with the same tutor and so we worked on my project proposal again. She said that the first section is fine but second section needs work. My tutor helped me with grammar and clarification which was something I really struggled with while writing the proposal. One thing I need to do to help with the proposal is look into how people explore narratives and stories.


I need to remember that evaluation is to check if it is what I intended to do, does it really get things across, how do I know when that is happening




To make it better, I shouldn't just mention them but also talk about what Michael Moore and Agnès Varda did.

"Varda’s later-life documentaries are personal and playful, an older woman looking back at a life of curiosity amid major social change"

"Varda reflects on her love of seaside locations, and uses the beaches of her youth as a backdrop for restaging memories of love and loss while playing games and pondering creativity." The beaches of Agnès(2008)


Other resources I used to help with the project proposal:

"The key to shooting documentary interviews is eliminating distracting sights and sounds; these take us out of the story. Second, if you must choose between a visually pleasing interview set-up and a good-sounding one, always chose good sound. The audience will forgive a flawed shot, but will tune out if it can't hear the dialogue."

"Recording an interview video may seem straightforward—we’re talking about a person in front of a camera right? But there’s actually a lot to consider if you want to avoid a boring look and feel. Paying attention to the content, set up, and recording process can take your interviews from boring to dynamic."

The resources were helpful but they weren't exactly the things that I wanted, I will have to do more specific research on interviewing after I am done with the project proposal.

I have also found quite a few documentaries on Amazon Prime, hopefully I will get the time to watch them and learn from them.
