Additional requirements, not included in the
350 word limit of the proposal:
Project action plan and timetable:
This section provides you with an opportunity to
outline your planning and organisation over a
period of weeks and the activities you will need to
carry out in order to successfully complete
your project in the agreed time frame. The more
time and thought you give to
planning your project, the more successful it is
likely to be.
It is important that you consider how you will
balance ambition, time and realism in the
realisation of the project. You should also include
what you are going to do, how you will do it
and by when. Remember to include: time spent
sourcing materials and other resources to conduct
research, feedback from tutors and peers, and
when you will carry out independent study.
Bibliography (Harvard Format):
This section provides an opportunity to record the
initial research sources, both primary and
secondary, that you intend to use.
Your sources of research should be as wide
as possible and could include libraries,
galleries, books, magazines, films, computer games,
websites, blogs, social media, radio
programmes, archive material etc. Where
appropriate, you should use the Harvard
system of referencing. The bibliography should be
continuously updated as the
project progresses.

Section 1: Rationale
(approx. 100 words)
What is the brief asking me to do? - The brief is asking me to experiment with workshops for
audio media, and then after that it wants me to create my own Spotify Canvas for a song of my
choice. I chose the song ‘D’ya Know What I Mean?’ by Oasis.
How much time do I have and how should I manage my time?
Start Date - 20/11/2023
Deadline - 14/12/2023
Referral - 21/12/2023
I have a total of three weeks to complete this project, so I have plenty of time to complete this.
I can manage my time by going to the library and doing some work if I am behind on it, I can
also do the work at home using my computer. So, I should never be behind on my work.
Section 2: Project
Concept
(approx. 200 words What is my Project Concept? – My project concept is to create my own Spotify Canvas on one
of my favorite songs, which is called ‘D’ya Know What I Mean?’ by Oasis. During my
project, I want to create a looping video for the song, which can be done using apps like
Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Premiere Pro.
The target audience for this musician would be people who are interested into rock and roll,
Britpop, and genres like that. The age gap could be quite big, mainly because Oasis is an old
band, and this song came out in 1997. I can create something they will like but making it
iconic, by using a clip from the music video.
The research that could help me during this project would be how to create the loop, so
improving on my skills with Photoshop and learning how to create a good loop will help me.
I will use Adobe Photoshop because I can create my loop for the video using that app,
Premiere Pro could help as well if I need to use that to make a video.
