Today I pitched my two ideas for my final major project
(FMP). My two ideas are as follows:
Idea 1
·
Using skills that I have learnt whilst working
on multi-camera studio sessions I want to create a documentary (lasting around 10-15
minutes. The documentary will be an
on-location multi-camera band profile.
·
The documentary will contain two different
aspects; live performance and an interview, which will be linked together with
cutaways, for example, restringing and tuning guitars.
·
As the production will be a multi-camera
production I intend to use up to three cameras to shoot, giving me more variety
with shots. One of the shots will be a wide establishing shot, capturing
everything, and the other cameras will shoot facial close ups, guitar close ups
and possibly tracking shots.
·
Where I decided to shoot will effect the scale
of the production. For example, a full band profile may not feasible, whereas
an acoustic profile will be. The scale will also depend on the musicians that I
can work with.
·
In order for my piece to be successful I need to
incorporate moving image and audio.
Before production I plan on shooting some experiments to develop my
camera skills, as well as recording live audio to enhance my audio skills.
·
I want to exhibit the work by projecting my
piece of moving image onto a screen.
Idea 2
·
I want to create a series of short
experimentations documenting a space. I
plan on making around 6 short moving image pieces lasting roughly 2 minutes
each.
·
I plan picking 6 different themes that can
represent each piece of moving image.
From the response that in received it was clear that the
ideas that I had come up with were very good, but it I was told that I needed
to research more artist and filmmakers in order to achieve a higher grade. As I am interested in experimental film and
documentary I was told that I could combine the two to create something which
allows me to explore different areas.
