Client Project - The Draft Proposal

As I thought it was really important for the first email to the client to be concise and draw them in I said we should do a proposal. Chase and I then met up and started brainstorming on the proposal:

What:

• Promotional DVD for Local reggae band including music videos, documentary and live video.
• Service/ product that the client can distribute as they want.
• Third year NTU student project.

Why:

• Music has always been a big part of our lives especially reggae, dub and drum n bass and we wanted to keep it close to our hearts.
• With the three different parts to the DVD I can show off a variety of techniques and a variety of skills, such as different camera skills and editing styles.
• One part of my favorite types of audiovisual is documentaries.
• A DVD is a very useful promotional tool for the band to get recognised.
• Free for the band, more interesting promotion than a t-shirt or poster.
• CD / DVD Sales - sell double sided DVD with one of artists Cd's.
• As its a local band it reduces costs, improves accessibility / co-operation with band.
