Audience project weekly diary
Lucas worked on a group project researching 16-24 year olds over several weeks. He conducted surveys, researched popular sites and demographics, and helped define the project topic. Lucas then began an individual mini-project exploring the theme of "illusion" through an experimental film shot in York. He planned, shot footage over a day, and spent weeks editing adding effects and refining the film. Lucas received feedback and made improvements before completing his evaluation. The weekly diary documented his progress on both group and individual components of the project.
L3 cmpt y2 evaluation template 2
The document provides an evaluation form for assessing projects. It includes sections for outlining the project, research undertaken, personal response, evaluating audience design and success, analyzing elements that worked and didn't work well, discussing skill development, feedback received, and an action plan. The respondent summarizes their film project on illusion, noting they were happy with the end result and able to experiment technically, but that group work did not go smoothly and they took on most of the work. They also discuss what they would do differently in the future, like planning better to use a cinema location and experimenting more with stop-motion animation.
Planning the illusion of cinema
The film will explore the illusion of cinema through following a soul wandering the streets of York. It will examine how editing, sound, and camerawork can make the impossible seem possible on screen. The loose script and mood board provide inspiration to shoot experimental footage in York mixing surrealism with Soviet montage techniques. Equipment, costumes, potential issues, and a shot list are planned to structure the one-day shoot while allowing for spontaneity.
Illusion research
This document discusses exploring the theme of illusion through cinema. It will focus on how cinema creates an illusory experience for viewers, like a magic trick, transporting them to a dream-like state. Specifically, it will examine Soviet montage in the 1920s, which helped establish cinema as its own language through editing techniques. It will also cover surrealism, which emerged in 1920s Paris and aimed to depict unconscious thoughts and desires. Key figures that will be researched include Freud, Breton, Eisenstein, Kuleshov, Melies, and early surrealist artists who influenced the birth of surrealism in cinema.
Audience blank proposal 21
The document proposes a video and visual branding project titled "The Grid" aimed at 16-18 year olds interested in music and the future. It will create short documentary and engaging videos incorporating themes of music and the future to appeal to and connect with the target audience. The project will be evaluated through weekly production diaries documenting progress, issues, and plans for improvement to develop good production habits. Specific weekly tasks over 7 weeks include research, theme development, branding, content production, and evaluation.
Task 1 audience investigation
This document provides information about investigating and profiling a target audience of 16-24 year olds. It discusses demographic trends showing this age group has significant spending power and is developing their identity. Existing social media platforms like Instagram have simplified their logos over time to appeal to younger users as the target demographic shifted. Interests of 16-24 year olds identified through surveys include music, film/TV, social life, plans/goals, and other interests like sports. The document outlines branding concepts for "The Grid" focusing on relevance, modern design, and simplicity to connect with this demographic.
A conversation screenplay
1) Jacob is getting a haircut from Marco at the barbershop. However, Jacob is uneasy because the usual barber, Elliot, is not there and did not contact him about being absent.
2) During the haircut, Marco and Jacob get into a philosophical argument about success, money, happiness, and their differing life paths since school.
3) Jacob implies he has more pride and recognition due to his successful career and possessions, while Marco takes a shot at him for only caring about mingling with "simple folk" and not truly being friends with Elliot. Their discussion grows increasingly tense.
Essay fellini
Federico Fellini is considered an auteur filmmaker according to auteur theory. His films had recognizable recurring themes and visual cues that reflected his artistic vision, even as his style evolved over his career from neorealism-inspired films to more fantastical works. A key turning point was his 1960 film La Dolce Vita, which shifted to a more abstract, surreal visual style while still exploring themes of reality and superficiality. Throughout his career, Fellini maintained control over his films and worked frequently with the same collaborators. While his style changed in its use of surreal imagery and dream-like sequences, core elements of his films like biographical influences and theatrical performances remained consistent in establishing

Presentation5
The document summarizes pros and cons of several university open days for media courses. The University of Greenwich has a beautiful campus near London but its media courses lack industry connections and selectivity. The central London university has excellent facilities and connections but accommodation may be far from campus and its media course has low student satisfaction. Edinburgh Napier offers study abroad opportunities in a nice city with good job connections, but its courses may not be as specialized in filmmaking as other options. Aesthetica Film Festival inspired the author to continue pursuing film direction by seeing young filmmakers' success and poorly made student films that showed room for improvement. Masterclasses with industry professionals were also beneficial. Pitching a VR film idea provided valuable experience pitching professionally.
Factual pre production planning
Lucas plans to film a 3-5 minute documentary about cycling. He will interview pro cyclists, fans, and focus on interviewing his father. Lucas needs to plan his questions, script, shots, and schedule. His schedule includes interviewing Mavis Evans at the Women's Tour finish line and cyclists afterward. The next day he will film his father cycling and conduct a formal interview with Mark Higham in his bike room. Lucas creates storyboards, equipment lists, and crew lists to prepare for the shoots.
Factual project treatment form 2021
This documentary will explore why people devote so much time and money to cycling, from recreational riders to fanatics. The filmmaker wants to capture his personal interest in cycling that stemmed from his father's obsession. He will interview his cycling-obsessed father, professional cyclist Connor Swift, super fan Mavis Evans, young cyclist Illan Hooftman, and ex-pro Kevin Dawson. While still developing the structure, he intends to set the scene of cycling, pose the question of why people do it, and feature interviews broken up by montages. The goal is to engage both cycling fans familiar with the culture as well as those unfamiliar, treating it almost like an exposé for the latter group.
Factual project research
This document outlines Lucas Higham's factual project idea generation process. It includes potential ideas like profiling obsessive cyclists or examining different levels of cycling fandom. However, Lucas notes he is not hugely passionate about cycling and the topics may be too broad for a 3-5 minute film. The document then covers conventions of documentary filmmaking and research on existing short documentaries to help determine structure and style. It analyzes production methods that create tone and make documentaries feel cinematic.
Factual proposal d2
Lucas Higham proposes a documentary film titled "Cycle Away" that will explore why people are obsessively passionate about cycling. The target audience is sport enthusiasts, with interviews of young and old cyclists. Footage will include interviews with avid cyclists as well as someone opposed to cyclists on roads. Higham will research existing cycling documentaries and conduct audience research. The film will use narration and focus on interviewing his father, an avid cyclist, to understand the obsession. Progress will be logged and the completed project will be analyzed by Higham.

UCAS pro forma
Lucas Higham is applying for film production degrees with a focus on directing. He achieved good GCSE grades including an 8 in Drama. He has been making films as a hobby since age 12/13 including a feature length film at 15. He runs a YouTube channel about filmmaking. He wants to direct films professionally and feels a degree will help him develop the necessary skills and make connections to help transition into the industry.
Progress log
This progress log documents the editing process of a film over several dates from March to April. On earlier dates, issues arose with corrupted footage and uploading to OneDrive. Rough assembly began with a focus on tight cuts, jump cuts, and creating an uncomfortable disjointed experience. Later, all sound bites were marked for potential use and classical music was considered but found to be copyrighted. Alternative royalty-free music was sought from YouTube audio library. Feedback on a cut requested a tighter beginning, focusing more on a character by masking lighting, and enhancing shadows.
7. evaluation(2)
Lucas evaluated his research process for his production, finding that exploring film techniques like mirror shots from other films helped develop his project's visual style. He organized his research and planning effectively to stay on schedule during the shoot. While peer feedback noted room for improving the acting performances, Lucas was mostly pleased with the technical and aesthetic qualities he achieved in his film.

The additional feedback provided more reviews beyond the top 3 chosen, which focused on constructive feedback highlighting both positives and negatives. The evaluator aimed to select reviews that offered helpful commentary to improve, but received a larger volume of responses overall.
Progress log
This progress log documents the creator's work on a film project from March 15th to April 19th. They had issues uploading a shot but were able to resolve it. Their goals for the rough assembly were to add jump cuts, tighten it, and make the experience disjointed and uncomfortable. They later went through all sound bites and marked potential fits, realizing the originally planned classical music was copyrighted. They then found royalty-free music but nothing struck them, so selected music from YouTube's audio library instead. Feedback from a viewer noted areas to tighten the beginning, focus more on the subject, and enhance shadows.

Research fmp
This document provides a summary and analysis of several films that the author watched for research purposes related to their own film project. It discusses Robert Altman's 1984 film Secret Honor, focusing on its one-location, one-actor setup and how it influenced the author's thinking about a potential contingency plan. It also covers My Dinner With Andre (1981), praising the film's engaging conversation between two characters, and notes technical elements that could be borrowed. Vera Drake (2004) is discussed for its portrayal of a kind working-class woman and potential to subvert audience expectations of a character. The Exterminating Angel (1962) is mentioned but deemed not relevant to take inspiration from. Overall, the document examines these films to learn
Initial plans & ideas fmp21
Lucas Higham is developing a short film project set entirely within a barbershop between two men who attended the same school. One man is financially successful while the other is not. The film will explore how the two men define and measure success. It poses challenges for Lucas as he aims to tell a compelling story in under 10 minutes with just two actors. Potential problems include scheduling with actors during COVID restrictions and securing reliable actors. Lucas is considering contingency plans like changing locations or having one character participate via phone if needed. He provides a mood board and film influences to help refine his ideas.
3. research
Robert Altman's 1984 film Secret Honor featured only one actor, Philip Baker Hall, who gave a tour de force performance as Richard Nixon in a 90-minute monologue. The document discusses how the film rides entirely on the strength of the central performance. It also notes that while the film received positive reviews, its one-location, one-character format limits its potential audience. The document examines whether this type of film could work as a contingency plan or source of inspiration for the document author's own film project.
FMP Proposal
This proposal outlines a student's short film project titled "The Conversation" which will explore how success is measured. It will feature two characters discussing this theme in a single location over 10 minutes. The student plans to research films like "My Dinner with Andre" that use a similar structure, and experiments with editing techniques. They will keep reflection diaries during production and conduct a final evaluation to improve their skills. Over 12 weeks they will complete tasks like research, screenwriting, pre-production, production, editing, and feedback.
