Project Tittle:
Comparison of the Students of Primary School in China and in Britain
Content:
Present the more difference between the students of primary school in China and in Britain. Include their school life, their spare time, the way of their teacher teaching, and the method of education. I choose the year 1 as an example to represent.
Audience:
I want to do it for people who care about the children’s happiness, the education, and for parents who want to know more about children, and how to educate their children, all live in estern countries and western countries.
Approach:
I choose documentary to represent my project. Because I think documentary which depicts the reality, have more power to influence audience, and to make them to believe. I will use voiceover to introduce and describe, and add some interviews about students as well. It is very lively to communicate with audience.
Research:
I am working in a primary school as a volunteer from last week, and I have the experience of study in primary school in China. I know more about the students how to study in China, and I strongly feel different. I think my project will be good, depending on my self experience, the skills in directing and editing, and the enthusiasm of caring about the education. Besides, I remembered a documentary which I wacthed two years ago, called Kindergarten, impressed me deeply.

Resources:
I need two primary schools to let me film, one is in Britain, another is in China. All students in Year 1 in Britain, and in one class of Year 1 in China. Some students for their spare time, and my interviews.
For filming it , I need a video camera and a microphone.
I think the budget is a little large, because of the part will film in China.
