My main concern for the extended project focusing on creating a short film which will be based in the 1970s. I’m very interested in 1970s culture and would like to create a piece based on the stylistic tones of this era. The narrative will revolve around a group of teenagers sitting in a back garden at the end of summer discussing their futures. My project is important because it is about the ending of friendships

which everybody experiences. I feel this will capture the interest of the audience as lot of them will be able to relate to the themes of this. Especially around the time when people go off to university and start their adult life.

Section 2: Project Concept (approx. 200 words)I am going to be creating a short film based on the ending of friendships in the 1970’s, specifically when a group of friends leave school and begin their adult life. My aim of this project is to create an authentic film

that could believably be based in the 1970s by making sure all my props and clothes reflect this. Some of

my main influences for this are people are Danny Boyle and Wes Anderson as I really love both of their work. For example, I love Boyle’s Trainspotting (1996) for how raw it is and the focus on characters and how Anderson uses such beautiful colour pallete which makes his work stand out. For this project, I will be researching the clothing of the 1970’s Britain and seeing how I can portray this in my short film. My target audience is people between 16-18, teenagers who are just about to depart into adulthood and are often leaving their old friends to go to university or start a new life. As this is a student production. I will be directing, in charge of editing, and working the camera so I can get my artistic vision across clearly. There are not many technical elements to this apart from camera work. I will use a Canon 550D and a Rode Video Mic to record. I will be filming outside so I won’t have to worry about lighting very much, and as I will have actors.

Section 3: Evaluation (approx. 50 words)Throughout the week of filming, I will be writing up a production diary to see what I have done each day. I will note anything that went wrong on these days. I will firstly evaluate my work by peer feedback from my audience and tutors. I will firstly start with my target audience and use my friends and ask for feedback. I will then show it to an adult audience, more people who had their teen years in the 70’s and ask them for feedback. I think this will give me a wider response. I will then look at my feedback on all of this and put in final improvements before finalising my project.

CHAPTER 1

Introduction

Write an introduction to the Chapter - This opening section’s main function is simply to get the reader into the chapter somewhat gradually rather than jumping directly into the first section.

It can be as brief as one paragraph; it can be as long as three or more pages. If you prefer a briefer introduction, then begin with a paragraph something like this:

This project portfolio is a report of my Extended Project for my first-year UAL Diploma in Creative Media Production & Technology- Film and TV. The project is a short film about a young boy called William dealing with all his friends leaving. This first chapter of the project portfolio presents the background of my project starting with writing about myself, what I learned on my course and who

or what inspired me for my project. This is followed by explaining what my project is about and why it is important. The chapter concludes with my research plan.

The Background of my Project

What makes me do my project

I’m very interested in 1970s culture and would like to create a piece based on the stylistic tones of this era

My personal experiences that influence my choices

As this is a student production. I will be directing, in charge of editing, and working the camera so I can get my artistic vision across clearly.

The basic premise of my project

My project is about a group of friends hanging out in one their back gardens discussing moving on and their next steps in life. The main character, William, finds the idea of all his friends leaving him frightening and tries to convince them to stay.

What I seek to achieve and how it relates to my target audience

I hope to achieve a short film that looks and feels like it takes place in the 70’s. My target audience is people between 16-18, teenagers who are just about to depart into adulthood and are often leaving their old friends to go to university or start a new life. I feel the idea of the 70’s will work well with my target audience and it shows everyone feels this way at some point, no matter the time era.

Who am I?

What is my project about?

I think a problem that everyone has dealt with is having to say goodbye to people, especially when they don’t want to. Having to let go of friends is a very hard. I think especially at this age; a lot of teens must deal with saying goodbye to friends when they go off to universities or work. I wanted to show this in my work, that as much as sometimes we want to keep our lives the same, with the same friends in the same place, that isn’t always possible. I hope the people watching will able to relate the character of William and his struggle of letting his friends leave.

My role in this project is screenwriter/director.

Why my project is important?

I wanted to create this short film, mostly for entertainment value. I think setting it in the 70’s gave me that extra task of putting more effort into research to make sure everything in the scene, even the things only the eagle-eyed viewer would spot, would reflect the 70’s. I also wanted to focus on the themes of friendship as I feel it’s a problem I myself have had to deal with and a lot of other people have so I feel that writing the character of William especially was a very personal thing as I could reflect my own thoughts through him.

CHAPTER 2

Literature/Resources Review

Introduction Include the introduction from your blog post for your Literature/Resources (2.1) here. The introduction should be relatively brief, simply providing an overview of the chapter

For example

“A large body of resources (films, web pages, literature, magazine articles, etc.) on the short film, roles of writer, producer and film director, the topic of unemployment and youth crime, professional skills and practices provide a basis for my Extended Project and final short film.

This chapter will present a review of different literature and resources I have consulted for this project and how it influenced my further research, study and development of the final idea for the project. The chapter will start with my Practitioners Report looking at two prominent film directors. It also looks at the magazines and web sources relating to

unemployment and youth crime. The chapter concludes with ideas and key conclusion of all resources used in this chapter. “

Here is some guidance for completion of this chapter. This is important, as it will:

Tell the reader what you have learnt from previous work/literature/resources and how you position yourself in relation to previous work in chosen discipline/theme/topic/interest, within which your project is located.

Provide evidence that you are well informed.

Examine and explore existing media products, practices and ideas in the spirit of creativity and imagination (What makes different media product distinct from one another?). Identify different media projects and other research sources related to your media project. Record and analyse findings. (You can use any media format to record your findings). Answer questions (What? Why? /How? /Look for specific problems and issues (theoretical and practical)/how media product communicates with the audiences/background of the artist and the project).

Media sources, literature search and evaluation

You should have already answered these questions in your Literature Review (blog post 2.1). So use that work to enable you to answer these questions.

Examine and explore existing media products, practices and ideas in spirit of creativity and imagination

Answer these questions What? Why? How? Look for specific problems and issues (theoretical and practice)

how media product communicates with the audiences/background of the artist and the project

Research Design Evolution

In this chapter, you will expand on what you wrote in your project proposal. Write about what you researched and how you collected your information/data (research activities). Remember, in this chapter, you will only write what you have researched and what research activities you used. In the next chapter, you will write about your findings, analysis and conclusions (2.2). In the following chapter, you will write about your findings and analysis using the same themes (see below) for the sub-titles.

Detailed below are possible methods you are could use for your research. This will be the research activities you have conducted. The secondary research about your subject will be in your Literature Review. (Chapter 2)

This is anything done by you, and it could be such as:-o Online questionnaire – you could ask your Facebook friends to comment on your project

idea and give you some additional ideas how you can make it better.o Get the feedback from your lecturers and peers and reflect on it in relation to your

journey.o You can contact companies, council, artist depending on what is your project about to

get their opinion on your project idea. o You can use your phone or tablet to research, take photos of possible locations and

places that you can use in your project. o Practical activities such as creating models, drawings, recording, filming, working in

Photoshop.

GO TO CONTENTS

Department of Media and Communication

You could use the following research themes as separate sub-headings

• Target audience

Ask yourself questions: Who? What? Where?

o Who is your target audience? Who are you aiming your product at?o What type of audience is it? Investigate the target demographic and record the

type of media or entertainment they consume. o Where can you find this out? You can use, ‘YouGov Profiles’ site to find out

about your target audience demographic. (secondary)o You can set up interviews or record a ‘Vox Pops’ (primary) to find information

about your audience.

• Skills and techniques

o Come up with the plan of what skills and techniques you will need to research to produce an effective, original and to near professional standard project.

o For example, you can watch tutorials or read about how to achieve specific skills and techniques that you will need for your project (secondary)

o Experiment with range of skills yourself (primary)

• Production research

Explain what and how: o People needed for the production/availability (how: emails, Facebook, Skype

conversation, etc.) o Research production roles that you will need to carry out and how to do it

successfully (how: the internet, media books, etc.) o Production schedule (how: create your own) o Budget (How: secondary internet, primary ask yourself) o Recce research/location needed (how: take images, contact individuals for

permission, etc.) o Health and safety research ( How: take images, check locations yourself, ask for

permission) o Visual ideas (storyboard optional) (How: take images, create sketches, get

inspired by other people ideas, etc.) o Props (how: make a list, ask to borrow, make it, buy it, use what you have)o Production (techniques, hardware, workflow) ( how: research what you need /

how: try it yourself) o Post -production (Edit, colour correction, VFX, etc. ( how: read, watch how other

people/professionals do it, try it yourself)

CHAPTER 4

Writing and presenting my research findings

In this chapter, you will summarise the collected information/data and the statistical treatment, and/or mechanics, of analysis. You should start this paragraph by briefly restating the topic/theme of your project (take it from Chapter 1).

Explain the object of each question, research activity, point out results, and present those results in a chosen form of summarised information/data. Select method of presenting data carefully.

In a quantitative study, the results usually begin with a description of the sample (e.g., sample size, description of participants who were excluded and why, handling of missing data). Next, descriptive statistics (e.g., frequencies/percentages for categorical variables, means, standard deviations, and ranges for continuously measured variables) are presented.

In a qualitative study, the results often include many quotes from participants who were interviewed. Here you should also present your non-textual elements such as photos, videos, audio files, maps, tables, charts, mind maps, SWOT (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats) analysis, etc.

Findings/Data analysis

What strategies did you use to analyse your data?

What did you find out?

Conclusion - How did the research help me with my project? (Interpret Research)
