Project Title
Final Project (Unit 8) – How makeup has changed and why

Section 1: Rationale (Approx 100 words)

At the start of the course, I did not know how to work the camera the college use, use Adobe Premier
Pro without any assistance or use Adobe After Effects. I now know how to do all of these things;
however, I still need some work with using After Effects and build up the techniques available to use on
Adobe Premier Pro.

Not only have I gained some of the practical skills but I have also learnt how to research affectively,
using primary and secondary research. Learning these research techniques, has allowed me to develop
my ideas and really think about if my idea is going to work, and to think about the positive and negatives
of doing it as well. Planning and production has helped me to organise my work and making a schedule
allows me to get all of my work done on time.

After practicing these techniques, I am now able to choose a suitable pathway to go into for my final
project. I am able to create an educational, tutorial, short film, which will not only go towards my final
grade for my course, but it will also create self-love and confidence to people.

Section 2: Project Concept (approx 200 words)

The main purpose of my final project idea is to educate an audience to inform them of how makeup has
changed over the years, and what it is like now. I want to visually show the changed of makeup from the
1800’s to now (2018), I am going to show this by a female doing the makeup looks but, they will be time
lapsed. I am going to have audio over the top of the makeup products they used and why they used
them. In my opinion, I think it is important to explain why people used certain items and products in that
ira, and what made the makeup effective.

Moreover, I then want to show the female doing her own makeup in today’s society, without it being time
lapsed. I am going to have audio over the top of the tutorial of her explaining why she does her makeup
a certain way. Many people think young females especially, wear makeup because they are self-
conscious and do not have a lot of confidence in themselves; I want to research and get different
peoples perspectives on makeup.

During my development of my idea, I am going to do primary research on what would
engage people to watch my short film, I am going to do this by creating a survey and a focus group; I
also want to get different people’s opinions on makeup and see if my results are positive or negative.
Moreover, I am going to do some secondary research on how makeup has changed from the 1800’s to
now. I will research the ‘makeup’ products they used, why they used them and the tools and equipment,
which they used to apply them.

I am not certain, but I may also include 3/4 mini interviews throughout my short film from different
genders, age range and ethnicity’s and get their perspective on makeup. If I do this idea, I will ask them
questions based on the responses I receive from my survey.

To achieve a good quality short film, I will need to use a tripod, camera, stabiliser and big bright lights. I
will also need to collect all of the makeup and tools needed and wat colour to use for the background
that will make the makeup stand out the most.

Section 3: Evaluation Methods (approx 50 words)

This section provides an opportunity for you to explain how you will reflect on and evaluate
your work, as both an ongoing activity and at the conclusion of the project.
You should describe how you intend to record your decision making and how you will
document changes to your ideas as the project progresses.
The evaluation section should reference your stated aims and be reflective and analytical
rather then a description of actions completed.

When working in collaboration with others, you should comment on how this may impact
either positively or adversely and outline the steps you can take to minimise disruption to
your own progress.

I am going to evaluate and reflect on my work each time I complete a section, by

explaining what I did and why I did it.

Proposed Research Sources and 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,including, but not limited to: libraries, museums and galleries, books, theatre/film/
video, magazines, TV/radio programmes, websites and online research.
Where appropriate you should use the Harvard system of referencing.
The bibliography should be continuously updated as the project progresses.

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 successful complete your project within the
agreed time frame. It is important that you consider how you will balance ambition, time and realism in the
realisation of the project.
This should include what you are going to do, how you will do it and by when. The more time and thought you
give to
planning your project, the more successful it is likely to be. Remember to include: time spent sourcing
materials,
questionnaires, access to workshops, tutorial and peer group feedback, and where you will incorporate
independent study
