Unit 2- Communication Skills: Proposal (Draft)

Proposal Structure (Draft)

Key: The spelling corrections is highlighted in yellow

1.Introduction

The whole purpose of this report is to get the pitch done and delivered it to the producers so I can get my idea for my short film across to create an imresson to see if it will work or not because I feel that my idea is good enough but the name of my short film that I want to make is called Paranoia which the genre of it will be a threllr because it will contain mystery and suspense for the audience

2. Film Synopsis

My short flim is going to be about a detective who comes to a crime scene of lifeless body within the woods with a rose and piece of paper of something possibly being wrote by someone which he go to open the paper to see what it is written inside of it but the camera shot will change to see the reaction of main character after seeing what was on the note which a coverage shot of a close up will ideal for this part.

The main hook of this short flim is going to be the detective coming across the lifeless body within the woods with the twist is when he is about to open the note when the coverage shot will change to another shot.    

3. Film Rating

The rating for my short flim will be a 15 because it will contain violence of the stabbing and blood involved in it as well by which it fits the guideline of BBCF rating for 15 films that are shown in the United Kingdom.

4. Primary Research

In the primary research phase, I look at different short flim that were in a playlist to see who are going to be my target audience for the film that I am going to be making and releasing it to them by looking at the comments of each person to see if they liked it or not and check their profiles to determine their age and profile. As I looked through the comments through the Short Horror Playlist on YouTube, I saw no comments that were from teenagers at all but only adults instead.

5. Secondary

Since there was adults commneing on the Short Horror Playlist on YouTube and possible that they are at the age of 18 or over, I decided to look at short films festival that I could send to see of what they think about it because I think that the adults could be the main target audience for these short films rather the teenagers. 

6. Summary

The Conclusion of this research is that the auldt are the mina target audience for these short films because they are going to the short film festivals to see other people's efforts of what they made but the main reason why they are going is to see if the business people are interested in their short or feature and possibly get in contact with them to see if they want to promote their films in different countries and show it.   

7. USP

The Unique Selling pnit of this short film is going be the victim's body with the rose and the piece of paper because I am leaving to the audience to interpreter of what could is happen next as the camera shot will change to the detective's reaction to what the piece of paper said because if I showed the note on the piece of paper then this short film will become boring and predictable to watch as I wanted to fit in with the genre of the short film which is thriller.     

8. Budget

As I ma going to have a budget aonud £10,000 that is funded by the British Film Institute through the National Lottery but it is divided to 12 independent organizations that are experts in a particular area, so I will need to use the money correctly to get right equipment and people who are capable of doing a task that is sent out by Myself.

Snoy HDR-CX405 Full HD Camcorder (30x Optical Zoom): £149.99
PhotoSEL LS21E52 Softbox Studio Lighting Kit: £85.00
RODE Boompole 3m: £78.65
Hama Star 61 Tripod: £17.99
Transport: £1350 (depending on taxis or bikes)

Since these types of pieces of equipment are available to us in the college, we do not have to pay for it but in the indursty, you are most likely to pay for it. 

9. Regulations

The regulator that is going to be looking at my short film is BBCF who are non-profit organization that give certificate ratings to different films that is shown across the United Knigdom

10. Changes of idea

The revisions taht had to made was the iead for my short film because it could have been too long to show as it had a back story and had to be a minute worth of footage but although it could have worked if it was shorter.

11. Locations

The Loaoin that are going to be in my short film is an empty building that has been left for years to show the scene of the stabbing and a fight between the victim and a unknown person. Another location that is also going to be in the film is a local hospital to show the scenes of the treatment and the victim having flashbacks to show what happened in the past.

12. Distribution

This short film will be distriubted  into Youube as part for our coursework but it is also being distributed to film festivals which business people can watch it because they may gain an interest of the film and contract me to see if they are able to show it in different countries for example: United States of America, Japan, Itly etc, but the way it can get people's attention is to promote and advertise it on TV.
