1. Tell me in no more than20 words, what is
yourFMP idea?
I want to create a shortfilm which follows the lives of
a few undergroundmusicartists, and how they plan
andput onan event or piece of media (music video,
mixtape etc.)
Why have youdecided to makeit? I want to makethis as thisis what I do anyway, andits
somethingI'mvery interested in. I feel thatif im
workingon somethingI holda passionfor, I will
maintainmotivationthroughoutthewhole project.
What aboutyourproject makesit important
to you?
For yearsnow I have mademusic, workedwith others
on musicand playedgigs. For last year's FMP I
decided to make a documentary onmy music
interests, and thissparkedthe idea for this shortfilm.
I want to allow this versionto be much more
immersive, really showingthe processes of making
music andsortinggigs in a very honest and raw way.
Outline someof the initial influences onyour
idea/work and somepotential research
targets (remember, research isn’tjust a paper
based activity)
One maininfluence is the BBC’speople justdo
nothing. Peoplejust do nothingis a mockumentary,
anddespite the fact mine will be factual, I love the
comedic value andwant my film tokind of come
across like a mockumentary - lots of fooling around,
quite basic editing, generally notthat serious.
What effect do youwant to haveon your
audience when they see yourproject?
I want people to realise thatits so easy to make music
or any media infect and thatto simply express who
youare is the best way to make goodwork. I hope
thatby presentinghow not seriously we takeit,
otherswill realise they can do it too, without being
overly knowledgeable on media production.
Describe the tone/mood/styleofyourproject
[which productiontechniques/characteristics
are youemploying?]
I want it to come across like a low budget, butvery
well thoughtoutfilm. I want the style to be similar to
‘Trailer park boys’. Toachive this I will use old
cameras, andquite vintagestyle graphical elements.
Trailer park boysalsouses a techniquewhereby the
plot follows a few stories and sortof interchanges
between them throughout, whichI think makesit
really feel like your following a day along.
Why have youdecided to makeyour project in
this style?
I feel mostinspired by this style, andfeel it suitsthe
vibe of my film the best. I alsohave more experience
workingwith low budgets, andpushingresourcesto
the max, which will reflect in the style.
