- 1. Proposal 1 Centre Name and Number: York College 48357 Student Name and Number: Jack Bevens 343970 Project proposal title and date: Flirt! June 2020 Main area of activity: Film Rationale: I made two horror films over the last two years. In the beginning, I had no idea how to use filming equipment and software for editing. During the last two years, these skills have developed. Now I will create a comedy silent film because I would like to move on to a different genre. This comedy film will be my first. I decided to create a comedy silent film because this is easy for me to use body language and facial expression to understand communication without any dialogue. This is because I am Deaf and I have excellent body language and facial expressions, as part of my language which is British Sign Language. So, I like comedy silent films because my characters will be melodramatic and use slapstick comedy stunts. Project Concept: My idea will be talking about two couples versus each other fo has the best relationship and the best looking. Two couples sitting on the bench at the park. They look at each other and they’re trying to impress each other by good looking, flowers, chocolate, card and some presents. They are becoming more jealous and they will end up to fighting each other with hilarious melodramatic and slapstick behaviour. At the end, one of the two couples win and walks away from the other couple who are grumpy and muttering. List of slapstick: • Slap the face • Punch the face • Kicking leg • Stomp on foot • Falling over • Pulling hair • Bite finger These are all my idea to use slapstick in my film. I will be experimenting with slapstick for because I need to learn how to avoid an injury. Slapstick can cause a risk of injury. One thing that is important is that my actors must be good acting because I need melodramatic and slapstick acting, big, wilder and over the top. So, I need to find out how I can ask some actors from performing arts or ask my Deaf friends because of easy communication. I might ask theatre groups in York. I will research on the web for find information about theatre groups. I love melodramatic acting because that makes me feel more energetic, with lots of action

Feedback will help me to understand how to improve my filmmaking in the future. I will be writing in my development diaries to explain what exactly I am doing. That will help me to review and develop my research, planning, pre-production and post-production. I need to become more confident asking some hearing actors because in the future I will need to work with hearing actors. Also, I want more practice with equipment and software to continue to develop my skills.
