Grace Gilbert proposes a short film project exploring themes in Grayson Perry's artwork through interviewing women about their experiences. She has experience with video, editing, and sound design from previous projects. Her concept is to have women film themselves answering interview questions due to COVID. She will research Perry's themes and similar films for inspiration. Evaluation will include weekly vlogs reflecting on progress, feedback from peers and tutors, and presenting the final film.

Main area of activity:
Video
Rationale:
I have made multiple projects that have been a key learning experience over the last two years that
I cannow apply to this project. For example I have done a couple projects focusing on moving image
such as a music video and a factual project, whilst doing these video projects I have become more
confident when using a camera and also various Adobe software such as Premier Pro and Photoshop
which is a video editing software and I have learnt the basics in creating a film as well as more
complicated techniques such as masking and using keyframing to change the speed of a certain clip
or the rotation and not have it alter the rest of the video. Another beneficial project will be the audio
project as the concept for this project will include many sound effects,dialogue and music and these
are techniques that I included in my audio project and therefore I will be able to apply these to this
project and blend everything together to create a well-rounded final project.
Project Concept:
The concept for this project is a short film and I want to interview different women, however due to
coronavirus I will ask them to film themselves with a set of instructions answering the questions. I
would then edit it as a talking heads type of style, the only thing is I don’t know where else to go
with it so this will be something to research further. The most important part of this will be the pre-
production process because this will where I create the shot list and I have a clear image of certain
shots I want to include so being able to write down whatI envisage will be crucial in terms of getting
ready for production. I will need to do further research on the themes that Perry explores in his
artwork so I can then focus on what themes to base my film off of, I also want to look at some other
short film that explore these themes to see if I can take one of their ideas and tie it into what I plan
on doing and this will also allow me to see how they’ve used sounds because that’s another thing I
want to focus on is being able to have cleardiegetic sounds to create animmersive experience where
the audience feelin thatscene.Interms of audience Iam going to do a PowerPoint solely on audience
research and interview people of different ages etc and collect data to come up with a defined target
audience.
Howwill the project be evaluated and reviewed:
With this project I plan on making a vlog every week referencing what I have done throughout the
week,which will allow me to have a ‘diary’ for when it comes to the written evaluation so I can go
into a good amount of detail. I will also be making weekly vlogs discussing what I have done that
week and what went well and what didn’t go too well by doing these vlogs I will be able to compare
this project with previous projects and how I have improved and what I could have done to make it
better. I will also get other people’s opinions on this project from a range of ages to see what people
think of it and whether or not it fits to what I was trying to make as well as getting feedback from
my tutor. This process will allow me to reflect on everything I have learnt and discuss what I need
to work on for university and see what my strengths and weaknesses are and how I can improve
them.
