Proposal Experiences

I feel as though my experience writing the research proposal was rather positive.  The topic I chose, which was the Kentucky Theater, was truly interesting to me.  My knowledge of the Kentucky Theater beforehand was extremely minimal.  This fact taught me a lot about not only the Kentucky Theater but also the film industry as a whole.  The Theater existing for over ninety years gives it an extensive history that was not difficult to find information on.  For example, the Theater’s website itself not only displays the most recent events but also an extensive timeline of how it came to be. 

Although this paper was interesting to write, it was not easy.  My main concern is bringing multiple dimensions to the Theater.  Yes, it has a great history, but how do I do further research?  I have since come up with a few ideas, but I am still not sure if they will take this idea the distance for a full documentary project.  If my project gets picked then hopefully the other people in the group will be able to contribute.  Another thing I struggled with was how to format my paper.  The main purpose of the piece is to convince the audience that this topic is worthy of further research.  I am not sure I did this entirely.  I was hesitant on whether my paper spent too much time on the history and not enough on the convincing.   Despite minor struggles, overall I feel confident in this paper.  While writing it I felt as though the Kentucky Theater is truly a space that applies to most audience and does most of the work for me when convincing people of its beauty.
