Final Major Project- Proposal

Proposal 

Synopsis:    The story of a young man who volunteers to take part in a programme from a company called Engsai Pharmaceuticals. The programme offers lucky participants to the be the first to trial a series of new "Life Enhancing" medication, This medication offers several different perks and super powers including telekinesis, incineration and short distance teleportation otherwise known as blink. Daniel is keeping a video diary noting down his experiences as he gets more and more super powers, he starts off by being to control his camera with telekinesis, later he tests out the blink ability by going to the park and playing frisbee with himself. he later tries out incineration by setting a table outside as a test. Side effects soon begin to occur when Daniel wales up with holes in his shirt, a sign of incineration, side effects soon become severe to the point he eventually combusts.

Style:  For my FMP visually I want this to look to look as realistic as possible so I am going to be filming this as a found footage piece with entirely handheld shots apart from one at the park which is Tri- podded shot where he is blinking across the park as a test. I also feel the handheld found footage effect will be useful as well because you'll be able to get closer to the main character Daniel as it'll be more personal experience.

Target Audience: For my FMP I believe my genre of film is going to be most suitable for a male audience of around 16 years to 27 years of age. My film fits into A science fiction feel because of the use of these superficial drugs which give extraordinary powers gives the movie this surreal feeling.

Logistics:  For my final major project I believed that planning in advance is going to be crucial on whether or not this is going to work or not. With a heavy emphasis on visual effects, knowing your shots and all the other minor details are going to play a massive part so planning and test shooting is essential. Before main shooting I have made several advertisements that promoted the pharmaceutical company to give it more of an open world style and to give it an extended universe.

Additional Material:   For my FMP I am planning to make a behind the scenes documentary for it, I feel this'll be good because this will show my thought process that goes into when I'm making a movie as this project is our fmp's this is something that should be a lot more personal and this should be the movie you should be doing a behind the scenes for. A behind the scenes for my type of movie is very viable and will be of great help as my movie will be using a lot of practical and visual effects in it and showing how I pulled off all of these effects will be good for a behind the scenes.
