This is a basic overview of my idea, which I am currently developing and have been researching since the end of November.
I have the working title:
Cockleshell Raid: 70 years on
With a working subtitle/strap line:
A new generation tackles the impossible.
1 x 60’
BBC 2
In Association with Discovery
Potential 'Elavator Pitch'
"Jump started and celebrated 70 years on: The ‘Help for Heroes’ Frankton Four blaze the trails banded by The Cockleshell Heroes. Through bold and emotive imagery together with highly concise and engaging accounts we will administer rich and rousing yet concise records behind the secret uprising. Our new generation Frankton Four will physically and mentally endeavour to uphold the memory of the Cockleshell Raiders."

Dissertation: Day one
Presented my pitch to Chris today, I feel it went well. I aimed to set a high standard for myself for the year so I started compiling research back in December.
My subject area is Documentary & The Second World War. my areas of enquiry include:
+ WW2 and it’s relationship with episodic and feature length documentary filmmaking.
+ Reflective historical documentaries stemming from the end of Second World War.
+ Questioning whether it is entertainment or education.
+ Covering the issues of wavering numbers of eyewitness accounts and debating the strength of such accounts.
I took this as a time to experiment with research techniques. I looked up books at the library and ensured I Harvard referenced everything I found (to avoid complications later on) but i also used other resources such as lectures (from the Paley Centre Seminars) which can only be accessed online so I discovered an app where I could store information that I find online called Springpad and this is where you can access all the research I have gathered so far:
