Project Proposal
Rationale
When I first started the course, I thought my skills were lacking and needed developing on all accounts in order to achieve a high grade. I would never be able to amount much to this course. Thinking I would only be able to achieve a grade pass. Turns out I was wrong because after the 1st year came to end it would appear I was leaving with a merit grade. Not only did this leave me pretty perplexed but gave boost in confidence in my own skills. Which carried over to next year and we began our next project the horror trailer I did think we were perhaps started a bit of strong but it didn’t deterred my confidence much. Thanks to that experience not only did I get to advance my premier pro skills but I got to show of my planning, flexibility, lighting and camera skills. To create effective video that I’m quite proud of.
Project Concept
My project idea is to create film documentary about Good vs evil. Exploring the concept of an upstanding citizen against one which is not. Delving into the grey area and deciding whether doing bad for the greater good is acceptable. How we will gather information for this topic is by looking at history of the laws of the world to let’s say 1844-2023 and use England laws as example due to the police department been form in that time. Why this is an important factor in this case study is because it helps to give a better idea which laws were carried out and how the perpetrators would be dealt with depending on what crimes they have been charged with. I will use this channel/website to help gather the necessary information required fulfil my final project. I will create a survey for people. Asking questions such as what people believe make a high citizen and not as well get opinion and thought whether it would be okay to break a few morals if it was supposed for the greater good.
As far as equipment go what I will require for this project it will require cameras to record footage for this film, Script/questionnaires, consent forms detailing they accept being filmed and a cast crew. For computer program I will use premier pro as well as adobe audition to probably adjust the sound if it becomes a bit screech or silence.

Evaluation
I will reflect back on my video by writing journal. Recording the details of this journey of how I have ventured through and how I’ve mentally dealt with this project. This will help to show how far I’ve come over the past 2 years with my media how handle certain situation out my control.
Scheduled draft
This is my first idea for a schedule where I have written out my daily life timetable showing when I get up, when I'm busy and able to work more on my project. Though it's not final due to life schedule always changing whether that because of my volunteer work at the cancer research needing extra help maintaining shop organising goods, helping clearing up the shop or manning till. Another inconvenience is my driving lessons I can nether fully predicting when the next lesson may take place or what time making it problematic when it comes to catching up on work.
​
Luckily though Tuesday is a pretty predictable as nothing happens on that making it a key day to catch up on anything I may have missed . Not to mention collage is pretty consistent never changing date or time helping me mostly keeping up to task.
​
Why I have not been clear with what is happening with collage work is because I have not got a complete idea what I'll be up to each day is because I have no idea what each day will bring not to mention I a have not started hiring cast members. When hiring cast what you got to keep in is that there schedule might not always align with what I might predict forcing me to have rethink when best it would be to record a scene. It's also why I chose to week timetable for draft instead of daily draft for now.

Risk assessment
Production
When filming I had a difficult time recording due to my contentious stuttering and poor memory. Now in my opinion I think it was more because I didn't have much time to memorise the whole script. As for my constant stuttering it caused a few set backs and retakes. To render this issues I chose to two record two paragraphs at time instead of one page at a time. Which not only worked but cut filming time down.
​
​
Script After
To avoid taking to many retake as well as to catch a breath I drew lines to show where to pause recording. Thanks to the script perhaps being a bit too long we may have shorten it in a few sections so it could be read a little better.
Editing
My editing skills have improve as I have manged to make both video and audio transitions run a lot smoother without cutting between scenes. although the character intro have proven to look amateur as though scene transitions don't seem to mash all to well as well as the final scene being little to long. I'm hoping by making it appear to be more of emotional timeline tribute it will give our viewer an early insight to who these characters are and what each one journey in tales.
​
As for sound I have had a little mess around but nothing that plays a massive impact on video but could still do with some work on.
