Centre Name and Number:

Student Name and Unique Learner Number:
Charlie Watson
Project proposal title and date:
The Box
Main area of activity:
My in area of activity will be in film.
Rationale:
Throughout the last two years I have created products such as a music video, podcast and a video
game and a short documentary. I have learnt vital skills in software such as Premiere Pro,
Photoshop, Audition and InDesign. I have learnt how to edit clips together, add various different
effects to clips, add music in sync with clips and various other skills I would need to create a short
film.
Project Concept:
My project is going to be a short horror film about a group of people who get lost in some woods
and are followed by a monster they can't see. I also plan to create a poster to go alongside. There
is a lot of research I will need to conduct to make sure I have the best idea for what I am doing
when planning out and creating my project. I will research existing films, within the same genre
and themes. I will research scripts and storyboards and shot lists from already existing films,
costume design specifically for villains/monsters, sfx and postproduction. Alongside this I will
research lighting and camera techniques used in the horror genre and music in the horror genre as
the score is a particularly important part of creating atmosphere and tensity in films. Researching
these things will really help me in production as I will have a very clear idea of what I am doing
going into it, especially since there is a lot of uncertainty around the production aspect of this
project at the moment.
How will the project be evaluated and reviewed:
I plan to evaluate my work by doing an evaluation at the end of every day, writing about positives
and negatives, what I could have done better and including screenshots of the work I have done. I
will also do a final evaluation once the project is completed. I also plan to do a peer evaluation at
the end of the production stage, which alongside my own evaluation, I hope will help me to
understand strengths and weaknesses better than I have done with past products.
