The student proposes an artistic short film called "Invincible" about the dangers of alcohol and excessive drinking, especially among teenagers and young adults. They want to address this important topic to raise awareness of how alcohol can be dangerous and encourage responsible drinking. Some influences on the idea include celebrities like Robin Williams who struggled with alcoholism. The film will have a dark, serious tone to appropriately portray the serious nature of substance abuse issues as the main character's condition worsens. The goal is for viewers to realize how important it is to understand this topic and to have an emotional response to raise awareness of the damage caused by irresponsible drinking.

1. Tell me in no more than20 words, what is your
FMP idea?
An artistic short film named invincible and it
deals with the topic of alcohol and excessive
drinking
Why have youdecided to makeit? My video is aimed towardsteenagers and young
adultsand thistopic is a very serious topic that
needs to be addressedmore tothis age range.
What aboutyourproject makesit importantto
you?
The subject that I havechosen is importanttome
because myself anda lot of other people I know
who are under the legal of drinkingstill go to
parties andclubs and drink. I have seen the states
me and otherpeople get intoat these parties, soI
think it is key to aim at this demographicthat
alcohol can be dangeroussowhen people do turn
18 and startgoing o nights outdrinking, I’m
hopingafter thisproject, they knowhow to be
responsible.
Outline someof the initial influences onyour
idea/work and somepotential research targets
(remember, research isn’t justa paperbased
activity)
Someof the best influencers aboutalcohol and
substanceabusehave struggledwith it
themselves. A top story was RobinWilliams, he
struggledwith alcoholismin the 1980’s, butafter
becominga father andthe deathsof other
celebrities from the same or a similar natureto his
problem, Williams began to ‘clean up’. Robin
Williams did amazingthings for the film industry
with his ‘outthere’ personality andcharacter roles
he broughtto life in the silver screen. However,
he unfortunately died in 2014. Oneof my
research targets is to find out the emotionaland
physicaleffects of alcohol, not only on the drinker,
buton the people aroundthem.
What effect do youwant to haveon your
audience when they see yourproject?
When my audience see my video, I want them to
realise thatthis subject is importantto
understandandthe subject needsto be
addressedmore. I hope they have an emotional
effect onthe piece as the subject has caused
loadsof people to cause damageto themselves
andthose aroundthem.

andserious tonesbecause the subject is serious,
andI want to get the message across
appropriately. The moodwill startoff happy to
represent the character before his/her substance
abuseand the videowill progressively turninto a
dark and sadmoodas the character spiralsout of
control. The style of the project is artistic.
