The student proposes a short horror film in a found footage vlog style to combine their interests in filmmaking and graphic design. They want to research films like "Grave Encounters" and "Blair Witch Project" for inspiration and posters like "Saw" and "Halloween" for style. The goal is to leave audiences feeling creeped out and unsure by building tension through panicked characters, increased music, and flashes in the background. Shooting in a home-style video format will make the story feel more real and immersive.
Book Formatting: Quality Control Checks for DesignersConfidence Ago
This presentation was made to help designers who work in publishing houses or format books for printing ensure quality.
Quality control is vital to every industry. This is why every department in a company need create a method they use in ensuring quality. This, perhaps, will not only improve the quality of products and bring errors to the barest minimum, but take it to a near perfect finish.
It is beyond a moot point that a good book will somewhat be judged by its cover, but the content of the book remains king. No matter how beautiful the cover, if the quality of writing or presentation is off, that will be a reason for readers not to come back to the book or recommend it.
So, this presentation points designers to some important things that may be missed by an editor that they could eventually discover and call the attention of the editor.
Transforming Brand Perception and Boosting Profitabilityaaryangarg12
In today's digital era, the dynamics of brand perception, consumer behavior, and profitability have been profoundly reshaped by the synergy of branding, social media, and website design. This research paper investigates the transformative power of these elements in influencing how individuals perceive brands and products and how this transformation can be harnessed to drive sales and profitability for businesses.
Through an exploration of brand psychology and consumer behavior, this study sheds light on the intricate ways in which effective branding strategies, strategic social media engagement, and user-centric website design contribute to altering consumers' perceptions. We delve into the principles that underlie successful brand transformations, examining how visual identity, messaging, and storytelling can captivate and resonate with target audiences.
Methodologically, this research employs a comprehensive approach, combining qualitative and quantitative analyses. Real-world case studies illustrate the impact of branding, social media campaigns, and website redesigns on consumer perception, sales figures, and profitability. We assess the various metrics, including brand awareness, customer engagement, conversion rates, and revenue growth, to measure the effectiveness of these strategies.
The results underscore the pivotal role of cohesive branding, social media influence, and website usability in shaping positive brand perceptions, influencing consumer decisions, and ultimately bolstering sales and profitability. This paper provides actionable insights and strategic recommendations for businesses seeking to leverage branding, social media, and website design as potent tools to enhance their market position and financial success.

FMP Pre-Proposal
1. C0
Tell me in no more than 20 words, what is your FMP
idea?
A short horror film, only 5-8 minutes, in a found
footage vlog style.
Why have you decided to make it? I’ve recently developed an interest in horror and films
in general, so I think it would be really fun to not only
research and plan, but produce too. I would also love
to design some posters using Photoshop, so this
combines my interests in graphic design and
filmmaking.
What about your project makes it important to you? It’s important to me because I’m really into the genre
and filmography, plus I’ve always loved story telling so I
love the opportunity to show that in film. It’s also
important to me because my love of film has come
from my friends and the conversations we’ve had,
especially about horror, so the idea of doing a short
film with all of them is meaningful to me.
Outline some of the initial influences on your
idea/work and some potential research targets
(remember, research isn’t just a paper based activity)
In terms of found footage a film influence would be
‘grave encounters’, a film that was shown to me in
September. Additionally I’ve been told my idea has a
Blair Witch style vibe, so that would also be a good film
for research. In term of poster design, I really like the
‘Saw’ posters, alongside the ‘Halloween’ posters
because of their signature style and overall creepiness,
which would make them perfect for my research.
What effect do you want to have on your audience
when they see your project?
I want the audience to be left feeling really creeped
out and unsure. I want it to be something that will
leave an impact and have you thinking about it for a
while. For example, I want it the audience to be able to
have long discussions about possible theories and the
overall film, whilst also not leaving the film too open
ended. When I think of how I want the audience to
feel, I think of how I see horror films and the things I
like to say when talking about them.
Describe the tone/mood/style of your project [which
production techniques/characteristics are you
employing?]
The style of the video will be very home like and real,
as the entire project will be shot like a personal vlog.
The mood will originally be quite bright with an under
tone of creepiness, like that feeling off something
being off but you can’t tell what. Then as it progresses,
it will become more and more tense. I will do this by
making the characters more panicked, increasing the
music tempo and volume, more jittery filming, flashes
of things in the background that aren’t quite right, the
use of Foley like twigs snapping, running etc.
Why have you decided to make your project in this
style?
I feel like a home-style type video will make it seem a
lot more immersive, like it actually happened,
especially seen as there are no outright paranormal
elements. To me, I always find horror films that could
be real a lot scarier and they unsettle me for longer,
which is what I’m hoping to achieve with the audience.
I feel as though the vlog like camerawork and the
increase in tension with the feeling of something not
being right (which most people have experienced at
least once) will help with this a lot.
