Centre Name and Number:
York College 48357
Student Name and Unique Learner Number:
Alexis Ratcliffe 397407
Project proposal title and date:
A day in the life (Interactive)
Main area of activity:
I will mostly work in the film area for my FMP, including the filming process and post production in
Premiere Pro
Rationale:
Since this is a video-based project, my previous filming and video editing projects will help me
explore how to make and achieve different techniques. The writing of the script for the movie
project previously will also help me plan out the story and branching timelines for this project. This
will be similar to the music video project as it will be heavily based on video and editing but I will
use different skills and equipment to make it distinct from each other.
Project Concept:
My initial idea for this project is for it to be a ‘Choose your own adventure’ short story. This will be
an interactive watching experience compared to the passive watching of regular videos, which is
most of the content on YouTube where I am basing my project on. This would hopefully immerse
the viewer in my narrative and keep their attention for longer.
For this project, I will research similar projects related to the predicted outcome of what I would like
to create. Famous examples of this would be ‘A Heist with Markiplier’ based on YouTube and
‘Black Mirror: Bandersnatch’ which is based on Netflix. By looking at different genres from different
setups and camera angles, I can broaden my ideas and figure out what would make sense
together and pair them with each other.
How will the project be evaluated and reviewed:
Throughout working on the project, I will ask for regular feedback from my tutors. This is so I can
get my project and supporting documents to the highest quality I can and achieve a good grade for
it.
