Web Project Proposal

Due Date:  Friday, February 9, by 4:00 p.m. via Web form or email 

Assignment
For this assignment, you will submit a one- to two-page proposal for the Web project.  The proposal should have the following sections:

Statement of Topic and Film(s)
This section lists the film(s) under study and describes the types of analysis you plan to include in the site.  

Tentative Site Design
Describe how the site will be organized; you can draw a chart that shows how the site’s pages will connect to each other.  Specify how you want viewers to proceed through the site.

Research
Describe the type of research you plan to do (for example, research of newspaper and magazine articles contemporary to the film(s), recent contextual analyses of the film(s), director autobiography, lists of other films from the period, etc.)

Links
List the links you plan to include on the pages.  If you have already viewed some of the links, briefly describe how they apply to your project.

Questions
List any questions you have about your topics, Web authoring, or research.  If many class members ask the same sorts of questions, we will discuss the answers in class.

Grading
Since the purpose of this assignment is to articulate and receive feedback on your ideas in progress, I will grade this assignment credit/no credit.  A proposal that receives full credit has the following qualities:
  • Includes all of the required sections 
  • Has a substantive description of the site’s proposed analysis
  • Contains clear descriptions of the planned organizational format, links and research plans
  • Uses visual aids effectively (if visual aids are used)
