Short film ideas:
Idea 1: A guy is trying to get custody of his child but the mother of the child is kicking up a fuss. The mother of the child is a recovering alcoholic and is going through rehab which proves she is unable to take care of the child but insists to the judge that she has changed and is able to take care of the child. Will the father be able to take keep custody of his child or will the judge fall into the mothers sob story and allow her to also have custody of the child. (Genre: drama).
Idea 2: A guy and a girl are on a bus they often give each other eye contact and smile, when the guy gets of the bus he leaves his scrapbook which is filled with pictures of places he's travelled around the city, the girl travels to all those places and when she goes to the first location she think what can she do or leave to better her chances of finding him, she leaves a note at every location hoping he'll go back to the locations to find his book and will see the notes and think of them as clues to find his book and her. The first location he goes to find his book he sees the notes and finds them a bit weird but then like the idea and thinks of the notes as clues to find the book as well as the mystery girl that found his book and is leaving these clues. (Genre: romance).
Idea 3: A group of people are stranded in a forest and have to find their way through various mazes and obstacles to gain a sense of where they are and to find a way of getting back home. They have no phone or compass on them to help or no memory of how they came to the forest to help them find their way back. They can either work with each other and help each other find their way out of the forest or each go there separate ways and find their own way out of the forest. (Genre: Action).
Music video ideas:
Idea 1: (Song: Wonderwall- Oasis.) At a house party where everyone is enjoying themselves, as the night proceeds and everyone starts drinking more, a girl finds herself too drunk to make her own way home and also finds herself in a guys car who she doesn't really know, but as she's drunk too much she can't remember her own name or where she even lives. This guy could be taking her anywhere for all she knew, having noticed that she was missing from the party, a guy she came with to the party tries to find her and when we notices she is missing starts to panic. When he asks everyone at the party if they have seen her, someone eventually tells him that they saw her getting into a car with this strange guy from the party, he goes out looking for her and finally finds her before its to late, he takes her home and the next morning when cant remember anything from the night before and wakes up to messages from a random number when she calls the guy from last night and finds out what really happened and that he was the one to save her from her horrible night.
Idea 2: (Tera hone laga hoon- Atif aslam.) Couple are together at the beginning of the song, they break up because the guy cheats on her with another girl. Whilst they are broken up everything they look at reminds them of each other and brings back flashbacks of when they were together which makes them miss each other even more. When they see each other around they just make eye-contact with each other but don't talk to each other or make any effort as they think the opposite is happy without the other. The guy repeatedly asks for forgiveness from the girl but she just doesn't want to talk to him. The guy realises how much he misses her and decides to do a grand gesture and decides to propose to her and she excepts his proposal and they're both over the moon with each other.
Idea 3: (Tum hi ho- Mithoon.) 2 people become a couple and everything is gong well until their parents find out and forbid them from seeing each other and the guys parents are making him marry someone else who they approve off, he explains this to the girl he wants to marry what his parents are making him do and she understands but is also upset that they can't be together and is even more upset that his parents don't approve of her. She excepts the fact that this isn't what he wants to do but tries to convince him to speak up for himself to his parents but he explains that it's hard for him as he has to please them and that means he can't be happy and marry the girl that he wants to marry. He eventually tells his parents that he doesn't want to marry this girl just to keep them happy and tells them that they will have to except the fact that he wants to marry the girl of his dreams and that they'd have to learn to accept her into their family.
Developing my ideas:
I sent out a survey to find out what the best idea was for my target audience, here are the results.
Short film: A guy and a girl are on a train they often give each other eye contact and smile, when the guy gets of the bus he leaves his scrapbook which is filled with pictures of places he's travelled around the city, the girl travels to all those places and when she goes to the first location she think what can she do or leave to better her chances of finding him, she leaves a note at every location hoping he'll go back to the locations to find his book and will see the notes and think of them as clues to find his book and her. The first location he goes to find his book he sees the notes and finds them a bit weird but then like the idea and thinks of the notes as clues to find the book as well as the mystery girl that found his book and is leaving these clues. (Genre: romance).
Music video: (Tera hone laga hoon- Atif aslam.) Video about how the couple first met and how they go on dates and connect with each other, as they go on more dates they become closer to each other and start to go out quite often. As their relationship progresses the video will follow them on the dates they had with each other and how it lead to them becoming a couple and further progressing into the guy looking at rings and proposing to her.
Proposal:
Rationale: After having produced 7 various project in the previous year, I feel like I have been able to adapt and improve my editing and camera skills. Before joining this course I didn't have any experience in using Premiere Pro, but after using Premiere Pro to edit music videos, adverts and shirt film I feel that I have been able to adapt my editing skills and use them to get he effect I desire in a way that look appealing to the audience. Over the past year, I have also been able to adapt my camera techniques by experimenting with different camera angles and using them in productions to make them look more professional to the audience also going with the narrative of the productions. With all my skills and experience from the past year I was close to achieving a distinction in final project last year and I'm hoping to achieve A distinction this year. This project has already shown me how hard second year will be but if I put the effort in and complete outstanding work outside of lessons I believe that I will be able to achieve a high grade on my projects this year. In this project I will be working alone which will be harder as it's twice the work all on my own but I think it'll be achievable.
Project concept: I have chosen to create a shot film and a music video to the target audience of 25-30 year olds, both my short film and music video will be in the genre of romance as I feel that this age range will appreciate this genre as they have experienced romance in their lives. My shirt film will be about two people who fall out of love and eventually come back together after seeing how much the other means to them and contributes to their life. My aim in creating this was to show the target audience how much people mean in their lives and that they should appreciate them because it could be a completely different story and outcome. My music video will be a asian song which is different for me as I've never done anything like this before and I feel that it will be interesting to see and hear peoples thoughts on what they thought the lyrics meant and if my narrative helps them to understand what the lyric mean as most of the lyrics will be in punjabi. I wanted to incorporate and fusion of asian and english so that people who are used to listening to english songs are able to listen to something different as well as learning more about my culture. I will be researching in my target audience to get a better understanding of what they're interested in so that my productions can be as realistic as possible and targeted towards the age range of 25-40 year olds. I will also be carrying out focus groups where I will ask people of the target audience their opinions on my ideas and what they feel that I could do to make it best suited to their age range.
Evaluation: It's important in my research for me to get as much feedback as possible so that I am able to improve my ideas and productions to suit the target audience and therefore help me to gain the best grade I can fro my productions. I will also be completing weekly blogs which will allow me to reflect on what I have achieved that week and see what I still need to complete or improve to make it better. I will also be sending out surveys to people of the target audience age range so that I can get their thoughts and opinions on my work and see what I can improve to suit the age range more. I will also be getting feedback from my teachers as they're also in the age range so they can give me the best feedback as it would appeal to them. At the end of my project I will be completing a final evaluation which will allow me to reflect of my production as a whole so that I can see what went well and what I would do differently in further productions.
