The document outlines a student's idea for their final major project (FMP) in which they will produce a short horror film that is 5-10 minutes long. The student is passionate about film production and wants to gain experience to potentially pursue it as a career. They want the film to make the audience feel tense and unsettled through the use of close-up shots and red lighting. Research will include watching short films on YouTube to get ideas. The horror genre and tense mood were chosen to appeal to the target teenage audience.
