To start of any project, you must first write a proposal. A Statement of intent if you will, on where you are planning to go and how your going to get there. This includes the idea itself, why you chose the idea, the skills you will need to achieve your desired end product and how you will assess your success at the end of it all. A proposal is a useful tool for reflection as you can compare your end product with your beginning idea, learning what had to be changed and what challenges you faced. You can then use this knowledge in future projects to better assess a production.
Looking back at my UNIT 12 research, I think my proposal is a good one. I looked into how ideas go from mind to paper to screen and a recurring theme I saw was that of using short screen tests or films to sell a bigger idea. This is exactly what my idea is and from my proposal it makes that clear. One clear strength is the kit we will be using. Giving the short a very cinematic feel will be important to selling the look of the film, as well as solidifying us as professional filmmakers in the eyes of an executive. Also, having the unique style we want for the short will help to make it stand out from the sea of wannabe TV show pilots.
Taking into consider my primary and secondary research, I believe that the proposal best reflects what I want to achieve and how I can achieve it. Granted, things will change and challenges will arise, but for now, it is a pretty tight proposal. To conclude the analysis I have produced a Strengths and weaknesses of the proposal:
