Research Grids

Production Research

Following your Initial Proposal you will have identified a minimum of 3 texts for EACH product.

The next job is to produce evidence of detailed, in-depth research.

We are doing this to:

• produce evidence for assessment
• ensure that you fully understand the nature of the product that you are planning to create
• to collate the information needed for your FULL PROPOSAL

Produce ONE grid for EACH element of EACH text

Initial Proposal

Purpose: to decide upon the Brief you wish to complete and plan the next stage of research

After having considered ALL 4 Briefs thoughtfully you will have:
• formulated a shortlist of options
• undertaken some basic research into the viability of the Brief
• undertaken some basic research (form, content, style) into the nature of each of the elements of production

The next stage is to plan the work you will need to do in advance of the production stage:
• Select a range (minm. 3) of real texts to deconstruct for each of the production elements
• Identify any technical elements that need to be researched/experimented with

In this initial proposal you must:

• State clearly the brief you wish to complete
• Explain why you have selected this brief
• Explain what each of the elements of your selected brief will involve
• Discuss your initial thoughts about the genre/content/style – what you plan to make?
• Identify (name) your key texts (minm. 3) to be studied for research analysis
• Identify any areas for technical research/experimentation
• Create a timetable (tasks & completion dates) for your research and experimentation

THIS DOCUMENT WILL FORM PART OF YOUR FINAL ASSESSMENT
