This document is a proposal for a film project titled "The Target Zone: Blood Moon". It includes a schedule of 15 weeks with specific tasks planned for each week in the pre-production, production, and evaluation phases. The pre-production phase involves contextual research, product and audience research, problem solving experiments, and planning. The production phase focuses on filming, editing videos and other promotional materials. Evaluation consists of self-reflection, peer feedback, and creating a presentation on the process and outcomes.

Centre name and Number:
York College 48357
Student name and Unique learner Number:
George Wetton 5313100938
Working Title and Date of release:
Title - The Target Zone: Blood Moon
Release date – 16th May 2021
Main area of activity:
The main medium I will be working in is filmmaking, but it will also lean into creative design when
creating such things like the posters, magazine, and DVD cover. Another area of field is sound
when I create my music for the film using Garageband.
Rationale: 150-word approx.
This year has been more aimed at the FMP because that has been the most important part of the
project. There has been a lot of preparation for it this year in terms of contextual research and
video. This has been a lot of editing and filming which is in good practise for this FMP coming up
this year. Though we did a whole range of different stuff. Project four had the first year had the
requirement of making magazine which shows that I already some experience of this field already.
along with this my video editing skills have definitely developed the most. Making a short film at the
beginning of year one, video game halfway through the year, our FMP’S last year and then the
factual documentary this year are just a few ways and means as to how my skill have developed
and got more better. We have also used Garageband for any sound editing, aftereffects to create
parallax’s and adobe illustrator for any other additional stuff. My skills and confidence have
developed massively over the past two year and I hope to show this through my FMP.
Project Concept
My project will include:
 Videos: Sneak peek/teaser trailer/ full trailer/ small excerpt clip/ music created for it.
 DVD: Cover art
 Posters: Teaser poster/ main poster/ 4x Character posters
 Front cover: Magazine front cover and article
This will all be done through using the softwares Garageband, InDesign, Photoshop and Premiere
pro. This will be done in the efforts to show people the advertising strategy and method on how
you sell a film. I will be showing a detailed research where I will be going through existing products
that are similar.
Then when it comes to my actual project. I will be as professional as possible. Holding multiple
cameras. So that it picks it up from different angles and having more than one shot. Just in case
something happens with filming. Unlike other projects. I will also try to give myself as much time as
possible. So that it will leave more time for re-filming after I have listened to criticism and audience
feedback. This project is a lot more personal to me because it based off a book that I have wrote
and is open to getting g published soon. So this will be beneficial to me when it comes to this
project and outside college work.
How will your project be evaluated and reviewed: 150 word approx.
There will be a variety of different ways and means of how I will evaluate my work. A lot of it from
my perspective but also asking the opinions through others. This will be seen through stuff such as
surveys and one to one interviews. Where people will be able to give the constructive criticism on
the product. Giving out the strengths and weaknesses of it. This will be done before and after the
product.
In terms of my own self-reflection this shall be done through the weekly reflections. This will be
way in which I keep myself grounded to my work and plan to get everything that I have planned
done in the one week that I hope it is.

Final thoughts
*I will stick to this plan as best as possible but due to contingency and further problems down the line
(especially because of Covid19) It is not a 100% guarantee that the planning will be completely done in
this order when it comes to the production side of my work.
