However bear in mind the target audience and the relation of text and image. Within the timescale available you are expected to produce a body of work which demonstrates an individual approach to the subject matter and your understanding of the genre. Select a theme that you have a special interest in and devise a brief that will enable you to carry out a prolonged piece of work which will be documentary in nature and which will examine the subject in detail. You should create a representation of the people involved in the theme that you have chosen and also of the environment in which they operate. The approach should be innovative and thought provoking and be underpinned by research to develop an individual approach to the subject.

Proposal
I plan on documenting 2 very different subjects, the soon to be destroyed Driffield RAF barracks and the beach of Hornsea. I am going to approach each of these subjects very differently the first will study the first will be taking a closer look at the Dilapidated buildings in Driffield using normal camera techniques and shutter speeds i will highlight areas that are not often seen. I will approach the beach images very differently though i have decided to try and create some fragile and delicate looking images by using slow shutter speeds to create a smoother looking images.
