Movie Project Proposal

Sam Towner and Mat Corderoy

For our short film, we have decided to undertake a heist.

Story line:
The planning for the heist will begin in Sams room. The plan will be to steal Oliver Heldens Decks.
We know that Oliver Heldens is unlikely to be in a sports hall in West Kingsdown, so we have planned the story
around a family event he is DJing at. He has dropped his decks off at the back off the sports hall, and headed
back to get the rest of his gear, such as lights, stands, and smoke machines. Our plan is to steal his decks,
open them in the boot to look at how beautiful they are, and head back to Sams room before he returns to the
sports hall. Unfortunately, we have been snaked and there is nothing but a teddy bear in the decks. We can
only infer he had knowledge of the heist. When we get back to Sams house, we need to burn the evidence,
and head back to college and act that nothing had happened prior to our late arrival we were stuck in traffic.
Music:
As this is a heist, we will create intense music, to set the mood. The music will crescendo at numerous
points in the film to indicate a build in anticipation. At comical points in the film, we will design light hearted and
funny music. Additionally, when we see the decks behind the sports hall, we will use holy music, as a comical
point in the film, but also as a sense of achievement.
Sound Effects:
Most of our sound effects will be soundscapes. We will use foley for walking, opening and closing doors
and hatches. We will also record thuds, gun sounds, and the car.
Items we need to execute the film:

The Jazz
2 masks
2 suits
2 guns
Sportshall
Deck case with teddy in it
Planning board

Directors Cut:
This will take place
after the final product. We will
duplicate the film file, and talk
over the film, and explain how
certain soundscapes and
songs were executed. We can
talk about camera angles and
justify them. We will also
provide our opinion on the
final project, and how it could
have been improved.

Timeline
Week 1 (26th 1st)
During this week we will spend the time to think of the topic for our short film. This will take time as we
want to make sure we are comfortable and fully capable to ensure that our execution will be the best
it could possibly be. Once we come up with an idea, we will be able to design a plan, such as a story
board and necessary items and locations.
Week 2 (4th 8th)
By now we are ready to start recording, we will take a few days out of college to go of and record, it
should take some time as we want to make sure we get it perfect and that there are no mess ups. We
will edit our scenes that we filmed and put them into a film. It is important that we have good
transitions between scenes.
Week 3 (11th 15th)
We can then put the film into Logic, and start to design the audio. The vocals will probably be the
hardest part of the audio, so we will tackle that first. Once we do that, we will do the sound effects,
with as much Foley as possible. We can then go on to designing the music. We will mix and master
the track and export the audio to the movie. While Sam Mix and Masters, Mat will be able to start on
the script for the directors cut, enabling us to record, mix and bounce in the following week.
Week 4 (18th 20th)
We will record our Directors Cut, mix, master, and then upload.
