Centre Name and Number:
York College 48357
Student Name and Number:
Jay William Brown 2346581630
Project proposal title and date:
Decegitated February the 24th
Main area of activity:
Film
Rationale:
Ive made a music video and pixel art animation. I will use these skills when I film because
ive had experience in the music video, I also can use my premiere pro editing skills I got
from both projects mainly the music video. The music video will have a direct impact
because I developed angle filming work, however I do want to use more angles in my new
project. I can use all the editing skills I have which will make the whole process quicker,
also if I use a green screen ill pretty much be an expert because I did a lot on it on my
previous music video project.
Project Concept:
The concept of my short film project is that a group of lads who take the mick out of a
clearly mentally unwell man face the consequences as he kills them one by one in a
comedic horror set in England.
I need to do research on horror movies and short films, I need to see how they are done in
terms with the practical effects of killing. I need research on how to scare an audience.
Research on comedy horror films. I need to research makeup effects, safety precautions if
we use a knife. More research on editing and camera work. I need to research on the
locations im going to use, and people I will cast but I think I will use my friends so hoping
that will go well. I need to research about script writing and organisation. I need to make
sure it fits into a 3-5 minute time but if it goes over it goes over in my opinion. Costume
research would be helpful and any equipment I will need I will have to do research on. I will
do research by watching my inspirations for this that I did in my moodboard and see what
they did right or even wrong that I can use and change in my final project.
How will the project be evaluated and reviewed:
I can use my reflective journals I can also ask for feedback from Scott and maybe friends. I can
look over what I did in the day and ask myself am I happy with that and if not I can change. This will
help my work by seeing if I need to do more work or seeing if my idea is bad so I can change it to
be better. Looking over your own work I can see if I missed anything that was on the plan to do so
there will hopefully be zero mistakes.
