Project proposal title and date:
Rap Out with Tre
Main area of activity:
My project will be a non-fiction documentary style film focusing on a music artist and their journey
through the industry. I plan to be more expansive than just film; including elements if graphic
design for promotional material and special effects whilst also practicing photography to round out
the piece as a product.
Rationale:
The products I have made over the last 2 years have given me the skills to creative an
professional film. I am in a position where I have completed projects from a wide selection of
genres including documentary. Recently I have progressed with my shooting skills and planning
shots before shooting the project. I have created a similar project to this previously which explored
similar themes around the hip hop genre however for this project I would like to explore personality
within the genre and create a product which revolves around a single person.
Project Concept:
Rap Out” is a series created for online platforms following and profiling small hip-hop artists with
future potential. The first episode will follow “Tre” an artist from Harrogate who specialises in old
school “boom bap” hip hop. The episode will include an informal interview setting, which will take
place like a day in the life profile. The episode will conclude with a live performance/music video
debuting an exclusive unreleased song from the artist. By exploring other parts of the subjects life,
such as family, friend and personal life, the audience will get to know the subject by relating and
feeling as they actually now them.
The research that I will conduct for the creation of this product will include conducting surveys on
the target audience to help associate the relations between the products intentions and the desires
of the audience for an ideal product. I will look towards other products, which I enjoy as a
consumer to make some potential success criteria for my own product.
How will the project be evaluated and reviewed:
I plan to evaluate my work and make notes on my progress whilst I am producing my project so to
lengthen my contingency time towards the end. This will include taking screenshots, completing
progress diary and making notes so that when I do a full write up of my evaluation and self
reflection, I have the tools necessary to write it in as much detail as possible. I plan to reference
my work by creating a scheduling diary in which I can take notes on all of the tasks that I
undertake during the project. This will also aid me with my time management skills and overall
benefit the project as a whole. I will also take behind the scenes pictures on set of
different camera set ups and rigs that I can then talk about in the technical qualities of my
evaluation.
