Final Major Project Pitch

Final Major Project Pitch

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.
