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.

Mental Health Podcast
Section 1: Rationale
(approx. 150 words) During the last 12 units of this course, I have gained a wide range of skills and
knowledge throughout this media course. I have made a fashion spread, talk
and radio show and completed an academic study of Disney Princesses. When
completing my academic study, I have learnt how to complete primary and
secondary research and to Harvard Reference sources. I am proud of myself
for being able to complete an academic study as I struggled to get started. As
part of the course I completed a podcast, I found this very interesting and when
completing this, this helped me come up with my final FMP idea which is a
Mental Health Podcast. This is something that I am very passionate about
because I enjoyed creating my own radio and talk show and a podcast when
using the radio room to record each of the segments and use the faders to
fade in and out the music.
Section 2: Project
Concept For my final major project, I want to create a podcast about mental health and
(approx. 200 words) lifestyle. Firstly, I will start by researching What makes a good podcast, whilst
making some notes and evaluating each one of the sources that I have used to
research the information. As part of my research, I am going to create a
questionnaire to research different things that relate with suffering with mental
health issues and how it might affect them in their daily lives. After receiving
the responses, I will then evaluate the results which will include a screengrab
of each pie chart and a sentence underneath each one. Secondly, I will then
use the internet to research a list of codes and conventions of existing
podcasts about mental health. I will use the radio room to record my podcast
about mental health as the sound quality is better than using a zoom recorder.
For my mental health podcast, I want to talk about the stigma of mental health,
the positives and negatives of mental health as well as interviewing people that
suffer from mental health issues.

Section 3: Evaluation
(approx. 150 words) As part of my evaluation, I will use reflective diaries to evaluate and show the
skills I have developed during each task that I will complete. I will also use this
to reflect on how well my podcast is going and what I can do to make the
improvements to my final podcast. I have also created a plan to outline when I
want my work to be completed by. As part of my evaluation, I will also look
back at my starting aims to make sure my completed podcast is how I want it
to be.
Proposed Research
Sources and For my secondary research, I will be considering looking at articles regarding

where I had to use the Internet to find a list of codes and conventions of
podcasts. For my primary research, I will create and distribute a questionnaire
to find information about different things that relate to people that suffer from
mental health issues and how it might affect them in their daily lives. As well
as, I also will analyse three different podcasts about mental health. The
podcasts that I am going to analysis will be The proper mental podcast and
