Centre Name and Number:
York College 48357
Student Name and Number: Harry Borwell 336973
Project proposal title and date: Thoughtless
Main area of activity: Film
Rationale: 100 words approx.
Review your progress throughout this year- what products have you made and what skills and
knowledge have you acquired? How will you use those skills? I learnt how to use premiere pro to
make a radio drama and music video, and add special effects like slow motion and explosions. I
learnt how to set up a camera, where to position it to get a good shot, and how to use it over the
shoulder, film and edit. I will use these skills to make the trailer really effective. I want to learn how
to use the boom. The sound quality in my music video wasn’t great. Using the boom will make the
sound quality better. I will ask someone in make-up to do the casts make up so when I do close
ups the camera won’t be so harsh.
What was your previous, similar production and how will it have a direct impact upon your project?
The music video made me learn new skills which I have improved on, which will have a direct
impact on the audience for my Trailer.
Project Concept: 200 words approx.
What is the concept for your project and what are you going to make? I’m making a trailer for a
new TV Comedy.
Plot: A family (two brothers, mum and dad). One son (Lee) is training to become a comedian. He
practices one of his acts, but it goes horribly wrong. He tries fixing it, but the situation gets worse.
Once the issue is fixed just in time, he tries practicing it again. What will happen next?
The purpose of the trailer is to advertise and entertain the audience.
What research will you need to conduct and how will it help you make your project?
I will look at trailers of TV Comedies seeing what they put in to make it entertaining. I will look at
tutorials of adding special effects on Premiere Pro. This will help so I can make the trailer effective.
I will watch episodes of The Big Bang Theory, Allo Allo and Fawlty Towers to see how they tell a
story. This will help me to tell the story of my video and will help with creating the characters in
more detail. I will watch behind the scene videos of comedies and dramas to see what they use to
film a stunt and how they do it. This will help so I can film a stunt for the trailer.
How will the project be evaluated and reviewed: 50 words approx.
How do you plan to evaluate the work? I will look at all the work I’ve done, and look at the
strengths and weaknesses of each. I will ask other people for feedback on my video, seeing what
they like and don’t like and what could be improved. Reference conducting on-going evaluation
(Production Reflections) and your final self-reflection (Evaluation), analysing your work and its
outcomes.
How will this process help developing your working practices as you continue with your
study/media career?
