FMP PROPOSAL
FMP PROPSAL
RATIONALE
The course has allowed me to experiment in almost every type of visual content, & has allowed me to understand what I personally like to direct & create. Some projects & topics I thought I would hate, I actually loved & learnt a lot from them, this knowledge has transferred over other projects. Documentaries are what I prefer to create, there’s something about stories & people’s lives that give me passion & a sense of achievement once it’s finished.
Both my documentary in level 2 & my level 3 FMP assignment were big insights into working with clients & creating something that felt & looked beautiful. Furthermore I have worked with both the clients after the projects had ended.
Although I didn’t achieve my original idea for my level 3 documentary, I did create something that both myself & the client where happy with & from it allowed me to understand that better planning was needed, visiting the locations & getting full confirmation directly was essential. It made me work under a time restriction to meet the deadline but still achieve a film that would meet the assignment brief.
I’ve learnt a lot from these projects, & I have developed my strengths & weaknesses.
STRENGTHS
I have my own visual style
The skills to easily work with clients
To be able to adapt from problems
WEAKNESSES
I don’t experiment enough away from my visual style especially in documentaries.
Although with projects such as the music videos & stylistic they gave me the chance to experiment both in production & editing.
Before joining the course, I didn’t think that any of the films I’ve created, would have formed such a diverse portfolio of work for my website.
PROJECT CONCEPT
What’sYourStory.com / The Art of storytelling Documentary
What’s your story, is a collective website for people to share stories & to be told to a wider audience. Where selected stories from people, projects & businesses may be selected in order for myself to produce a documentary on them, where they are later placed onto the site.
But in order for the site to work, it needs an opening film, a trailer almost & my aim is to launch the site, produce a video about the project in a style of a documentary & what storytelling is to other creative people/ projects they run. Prior this to use someone’s story to create a documentary on them would be added extension to show the success of the site but also throughout filming this project & gaining all this information from people I will be left with a load of interviews what I can also submit as induvial films. As I won’t use a complete 20 minute interview in the film but rather small sections, so why not use the interviews as content/behind the scenes for this project.
Anything from, Film, music, dance, business’s missions and really just anyone. Anyone that has a story & has a mission in life are the people I want to talk to, I want to interview high end people but also re-visit people I’ve previously worked with before & to make the project even more of a task I want to try to combine all my year projects into one, if this means finding creatives to work with me for example I want to include stop motion/animation I have little experience in this so finding another creative to collab with me, will make it much of fun project & also allows me to build my confidence further and meet new people.
AUDIENCE
From this my audience reaches everyone, but to scale it down from 15 - 75 because these are the types of people who can not only get involved but also the type of people who will view these documentaries & it's film.
