Luke Simpson proposes creating a short thriller film called "Third Eye" for his final major project. He will use filmmaking skills learned at college, such as editing and pacing. The film's concept involves a paranoid man whose home security system is hacked, making him believe an intruder is in his house. Research will include studying audience demographics and similar thriller films. Techniques like CCTV footage will be employed. The film will be evaluated through weekly reflections, feedback, and self-review to improve storytelling skills. Specific pre-production, production, and post-production tasks are outlined for each week.

Centre Name and Number:
York College 48357
Student Name and Number:
Luke Jonathon Bodie Simpson 348719
Project proposal title and date:
Third Eye
Main area of activity:
The main medium of my film I will work in film. The reason why I want to work in
film is because it is what I am passionate in. I loved making my film at the end of
the first year in our first FMP. For that arson and my love of films I wanted to make
a film
Rationale:
During my time here I have learned a lot of techniques. Before I came to college, I
knew nothing about adobe premiere pro and editing so for the first few months we
just learned the basics which was very good for me because I can use all of these
basics in my other films. The main thing that I learned is how to edit and pace my
film, this was a good thing to learn because if you use different edits or pace it
differently it will give the film a different feel. During the time at the college we
studied short films, documentaries and cliental work. I will use some of the
techniques I have use in other projects such as how I should pace my film I
learned last year that I shouldn’t rush my film and I should slow it down and add
more detail in the film. My film is going to be similar to the one I did last year so I
should really take the pacing in hand that I learned last year and I could take
some of the effects I used in my last project into my new project.
Project Concept:
The concept for my project will be about this paranoid person who wants to make
sure his house is safe so he has this unto date security system and he is always
looking to upgrade it but while he is looking at a new system his computer gets
hacks and his computer gets hacked and his computer starts glitching. He then
goes and checks his other cameras and he sees a guy peeking around the corner
of his garden. This guy hacks his camera and It looks like he is glitching forward
without moving. The paranoid person get scared and runs into his panic room and
he thinks he is safe when he is down there but the power cuts out and he is left in
the dark alone. When the power switches back on the guy is in front of him and
then jumps at him. It then will cut to a news scene and the news anchor talks
about the disappearance of this person and hen say that it is the third this week.
Then he goes and talks bout the security company Third Eye saying that their
sales and stocks are rising. While this is happening the camera pulls out reviling
lots of TVS after the broadcast has finished all the TVs start to turn on and then it
will cut to black

Techniques:
I have already thought of a few techniques and effects I could use in my film but
the main one that I am thinking of are CCTV shots and the different effects I could
use. The different ways I could make it and different ways it could use the effect
such as them popping up on the monitor, left on the monitor or a POV shot of
someone or something from the camera
Research:
The research I will need to conduct to help my product I will look at my main
audience. This will help me what I should aim my film at and how I should make it
catering to the certain audience in my case it will be males aged 18-35. I will also
need to look at different films especially thriller films this will help me through my
research because I can look how similar films are made and how they are catted
to their audience and how well it did in the box office. The main films I will look at
will be Enemy Of The State, Zodiac, Panic Room and Se7en.
How will the project be evaluated and reviewed:
When it is time to evaluate my FMP I would try and get multiple ways of evaluating
my FMP one of the main ways I would do it is through our weekly reflections that I
will be doing. At the end of every week I will wright what I did throughout that week
and what worked and what didn’t. What I will also to evaluate my FMP is that I will
ask my friends and family to have a look at my film and say what they liked about
my film and what they didn’t like about my film and I could write that into my
project. What I will also do is I will look over it myself. Will see what turned out
well and what I could change for the next time I made a thriller film I will outline
some mistakes I made and how I could fix it for next time
