Student Name and Number:
Karl Shepherd
Project proposal title and date:
My initial plan for the project is called ‘Lost’ - February 26 2021
Main area of activity:
I will be doing a film trailer for the main part of my project which will be recorded at a set date the
edited using Premiere Pro.
I will also be creating a poster to further promote the film which will be edited on Photoshop.
Rationale:
At York, I have learnt many different skills on Premiere Pro that will help me with my FMP, I’ve
learnt how to add different effects and transitions as well as adding text
I have also learnt a lot of Photoshop skills, I now know how to make pixel art and more importantly,
lots of editing skills such as how to cut people out of images and do colour correction.
Project Concept:
I am creating promotion for a product (which currently doesn’t exist), the product is a horror film
and I will be creating a trailer and a poster for it.
I need my promotion to reach my primary target audience so I will be uploading and sharing the
poster and trailer on places such as YouTube where a large portion of my target audience visit.
I will research already existing products to find out what they do and how its effective so I can
incorporate it into my work.
The atmosphere is extremely important to a horror film so I have to give the poster and the trailer a
creepy feel so I need to make sure that the area is dark and creepy to give that typical horror feel.
How will the project be evaluated and reviewed?
I will use the reflection forms that I complete at the end of each day I do some work which will
show what I achieved that day, what I can improve and what I need to do the next time. These are
extremely helpful as it sums up your day’s progress.
At the end of production, I will look back at all the work I completed and evaluate it, I will decide
where my strengths and weaknesses where and what I could have done better. This will be helpful
for my project after this.
