    Pathway: Media Production (Film and Print)

    Project Title: Short film and film posters


    Section 1: Rationale
    (approx. 150 words)

    The skills which I have developed throughout my 3 years of doing media studies at Priestley
    college are in all types of areas such as research, pre production, production and post
    production and this will help me when coming to my final project. Over my time I have definitely
    strengthened in these different areas and especially in my practical skills as I have extended my
    knowledge and also my use in handling the equipment which has helped me massively in
    making the choice for my Final Major Project. I have also shown good skills and a keen interest
    in creating videos and photography wich will also help me moving forward.

    Section 2: Project
    Concept
    (approx. 200 words)

    The concept of doing a short film and also doing 3 different posters for my short film is to
    engage my audience with the use of my posters and my short film will be to also engage the
    audience but to keep them engaged throughout. However, my personal aim for this project is to
    develop my and expand my skills further in both my practical and written skills during this unit
    as it will push me further and help me gain experience of working on higher quality productions.
    With doing the short film and posters I want to gain more knowledge and understanding of
    capturing higher quality images for my posters and also higher quality footage for my film as
    this will not only make it more appealing for the audience but it will also allow me to develop my
    skills in editing and filming. I will also be developing my confidence skills which will be
    massively beneficial with my development.
