The media coursework that i am working on is
an extract from a new documentary TV programme, lasting approximately five minutes, together with two of the following 3 options;
A radio trailer for the documentary
A double page spread from a listings magazine focused on the documentary
A newspaper advertisement for the documentary
In lessons I had to do a proposal for what I was intending to do for my media coursework. My classmate Selina and I have decided to work together as we were going to Kenya for a month with an organisation through school. This is to do community work, mountain climbing and working on different projects. The link here shows the sort of activities we would be doing there;

We thought that this would be the perfect opportunity to incorporate our media coursework into. It would give us an advantage as no-one would have the same as us as we liked the idea of it being completely different to what everyone else would produce.
For the proposal to rest of the group Selina wasn't here so I had to present our ideas to the group on my own, this was fine as we had discussed it and I knew what to say. I explained to the group that as we were off to Kenya, we decided to use it to the best of our ability and produce our documentary on that. The actual documentary would be on some gap year students travelling to Kenya and we would follow them and show the work they would do with the community and the animal conservation programmes. The main focus of the documentary would be to focus on how the gap year students would cope with the different culture and lifestyle of Kenya and how the animal conservation programmes work.
The feedback from the class and Mrs Fearnley was that the main ideas were really good but I would be pushed for time as we were off to Kenya on the 4th of July. Also we would need some main focus points to concentrate on as the month in Kenya is so filled with activities and projects that it would be impossible to film everything. This really helped as I then could feedback to Selina what was said and we could start working as soon as possible.
