The proposal

After submitting the FMP proposal I am feeling relived to have the whole idea into place and a clear plan for the next few months. But I am also aprehensive of the grade I will recieve. I had several tutorials the week of my hand in which Sharon gave me helpful feedback. In the first tutorial I was given a lot of information about what to improve and how to make my tone more academic. This feedback encouraged me to re-read through my proposal and figure out where I was rambling and over-explaining certain things. By the second tutorial Sharon was impressed with the improvements I had made and said that my writing was potentially MA standard. By the time I was ready to submit the proposal I felt happy that I had included all of the relevant information in order to get an overall understanding of the project I intend to undertake. If I were to tweak any areas of the proposal I would liked to have more diverse visuals and maybe done more test shoots of the variety of work that would be featured on the website. As I feel the screen shots of the kaleidoscope projection weren't high quality and aren't necessarily what I would have liked to explain the concept of a Synaesthesia inspired website. However, I feel like I showed good representation of the website through a WIX and Pinterest mock up of the website. 

One element of the proposal I would have liked to expand on was the story by Proust. As it is very much an explanation into how we make memories and personal connections with our senses. And how it feels to recall a sense that it related to a memory. Although it was a good basis for the context of Synaesthesia and how I hope to connect with the audience, I think I will explore the Proust story in a specific area of the website. And maybe include personal connections with different senses. 

Moving forward from the proposal I am looking forward to beginning my project. I am confident that I have enough material through the informatiom gathered from the Synaesthesia Facebook group to begin piecing concepts together in order to plan and design shoots and then the website.

I realise that I have other projects which will require my attention for the next 2 months but I am determined to keep up the development of the proposal until I can give it my full attention.
