![Pre-proposal
What effect do you want to have on your audience when they see
your project?
I want the film to be exciting and fun for the audience.
Describe the tone/mood/style of your project [which production
techniques/characteristics are you employing?]
It will be sci-fi/adventure. It will have quite a fast editing style as well
as match on action cuts etc.
Why have you decided to make your project in this style? I think that think will be a good way to show some of my skills in
order to get a good grade. I will have the opportunity to try some
interesting and complicated video effects.](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/1-220425081743/85/1-1-Initial-Ideas-Context-pptx-3-320.jpg)
1.1 Initial Ideas + Context.pptx
- 1. Initial Ideas & Context Your Name
- 2. Pre-proposal Tell me in no more than 20 words, what is your FMP idea? A scene from a film where two people travel back in time. They then need to find a way to travel back home. Why have you decided to make it? I want to create a film clip because that is the area I am interested in. I think this idea is a good way that I can do some good editing and visual effects to help get a good grade. What about your project makes it important to you? I am interested in making films in the future and this will be the first time I can make something to do with this. I look forward to putting some of the camera and editing techniques I have learned into practice. Outline some of the initial influences on your idea/work and some potential research targets (remember, research isn’t just a paper based activity) Stranger things has some really good transitions between scenes that I’ve always noticed and been inspired by. For my research I want to look practice using the camera again because I’ve only used them nice and it was a little while ago.

- 4. Initial Reaction • I am interested in making a film. • I think that video is one of my strengths. • I want to practice video because it is something I am interested in doing in the future. • I am confident using premiere pro and feel like I can learn new effects for this project. • I could make a trailer, short film or a film scene.

- 8. Mood Board
- 9. Mood Board Analysis Is there any repetition in the images you have collected? Repeated colours/images styles/fonts/tone/mood There is repetition of bright lights and colours to represent the time travel aspect. There is also repetition of costume style which depicts the time that they will be traveling back o and the stle of clothes they will change in to. How will your mood board influence your final product? My mood board will help me with my final product because it can help give me inspiration for production and planning. It will also give me guidance when I start writing down my ideas.
- 10. Influence/Inspiration I like to take inspiration from Edgar wright. I enjoy the fast-paced editing style and unique transitions between shots. They are often dramatic and quite jarring which is something that I want to try implement into my own project.
- 13. Skills Audit Rate your confidence level BEFORE audit and discussion 1 2 3 4 5 Software package title Premiere Pro What are you using it for? e.g. video editing, audio editing, etc Video editing Can you (tick when done and understood) Open the programme / Set up a new project (for Premiere Pro this requires a new project folder to be made in advance and set up in the programme) / Import clips/images/etc / Save work / Export to relevant formats / Explain specialist tools available. E.g. colour correction, keying, filters, effects, etc There are many tools available on premiere pro. I can edit the audio by changing things like the reverb. There are also many video effects like distortions. These effects can also be animated by created key frames. There is also keying which can enable you to use a green screen. Explain common problems you encounter and what you might do to avoid them/manage them A common problem I face is not knowing how to do certain effects. I can use tutorials to strengthen my knowledge and help me when I'm stuck. Rate your confidence level after audit and discussion 1 2 3 4 5 Include any specific points you/your classmates have experienced during your usage of this programme
- 14. Why are you making this project? I would like to create something and get practice in the area that I want to go into in the future. It will also be useful to have for my portfolio to send to universities because it shows my skills and that I have had practice doing film. I also want to get more confidence and skill practice to help me going forward. It is important for me to get a lot of practice so that I can learn from mistakes and create stronger projects in the future.
- 15. Hopes for the FMP For the FMP I would like to create something that has good editing and shows interesting visual techniques and effects. I would like it to be technically challenging so that I can show my skills and improve technique by learning new things. I would like to carry out some detailed research and experiments to practice before production. I want to try out lots of different techniques before hand so that I can decide how to make the final product.
- 16. Strengths and Limitations One strength that I have is being able to use premiere pro to edit. This means that I don't have to learn a new skill as I am already confident in it. I am also good at creating detailed plans which will help guid production and make sure it goes smoothly. I am also good at managing my time well and so I will be able to make sure that I give myself enough time to complete all areas of my work. One limitation for this project will be figuring out how to make the characters look like they are time travelling in premiere pro. If I want the effect to look good, it will take a lot of experimenting beforehand so that I can record and edit everything needed.
- 17. Potential Research Activities • Watching pre-existing films and gaining inspiration. • Watching YouTube tutorials and practising them to learn new skills and techniques to use in premiere pro • Research into different editing cuts.
