Final Project Proposal - Revised

I edited my old post, but just in case it got lost in the blog here is my new project proposal:

Fields of Glory


Topic – I will talk to various students who played sports in high school and now play intermural sports. I will focus on football in particular and talk to students about their options to stay involved in competitive sports now that their high school careers are over. I want to see if UMD intermural sports satiate their competitive desires or if they still long for the high school competition.


Relevance – Many students played sports in high school and become less active once they get to college. Many look to intermural sports to fill their competitive void.


Audience – College students and students looking at going to college across the country would be interested in this story.


Research– I will research into national numbers of how many kids play high school sports and intermural sports if they are available, as well as the numbers of students playing intermurals at Maryland.


Visuals (photography) – I will take photos of the intermural football teams in action, during both games and practices. I may also try to incorporate shots of the football players in everyday life to juxtapose it against their athletic life.


Audio/Video – Interviews with students and intermural officials. I will take video of students playing football and other sports as well. I will film interviews after the games and during the week leading up to the games..


People – Various students and staff, exactly who is to be determined.


Location – The University of MarylandCollege Park


Access Issues – Potential Issues taping staff, but I believe they will allow me to tape them.


Time Frame – The total content will probably take around 3-4 weeks to compile.


Cost – None


Word Reporter Needed – No, it will not be necessary.


Media – Audio, Video, Photography
