down small time criminals and quickly becomes loved by some of his community
but hated by others. He struggles to balance his home life and his newfound
superhero life. While enjoying and making the most of the powers, he questions
why and how he has them. He also questions whether his father's death has
anything to do with his powers. His best Friend discovers his powers and wants to
be a part of his new life.

ACT 2: A man reaches out to the protagonist and says he knows why he has his
powers and what he’s supposed to do with them. This mysterious man defends the
protagonist and teaches him about how his ancestors where tasked with being a
superhuman defender of ancient relics and the abilities pass down each
generation. The man also teaches him of another person with abilities that was
supposed to become the protector but was replaced. The protagonist looks into
the relics and discovers that most of them have been stolen over the last year in a
string of brutal murders.

ACT 3: the hero starts to question his new friend and tries to find a background on
him but cannot. The mysterious man reveals himself to be a descendant of the
original bloodline and is threatening to hurt the things the hero cares about if he
doesn’t end the prophecy. He Sais if the hero does not, he will end the bloodline
himself. To prove a point, the man murders the hero's Friend which leads to a city
level fight. The hero unlocks his true potential and traps the man in an alternate
reality. The movie ends by teasing new villains.

4. Why have you chosen these media products to market your film idea?

A teaser trailer would be cool however would not be do able with the story I'm
going with. I think a graphic storyboard would be a good way to give a detailed
look at the movie I've made. A poster would also be a great way to market my
movie as every film needs a poster. A DVD cover would be a cool way to re
interparate my poster.

How to survive a final major project

1. Do something you enjoy – look back on projects this year and think about
what skills you’ve learnt and which you have really enjoyed. What job would
you like to do in the future? How can you apply it to your project?
LOVE YOUR PROJECT

2. Do lots and lots of research – primary and secondary are both essential.
Use a wide range of methods and resources (as covered in unit 2).

3. Manage your time. Just think how fast this year has gone so far. Plan ahead
and don’t fall behind. MAKE USE OF INDEPENDENT STUDY TIME.

4. You must document everything what happens as you go along. Your entire
journey from start to finish should be fully recorded. Describe and analyse as
you go along. Every aspect of your project should be fully considered. Your
Project Action Plan and Timetable will be vital to the success of your FMP

5. Research, design, experiment, build, evaluate. Your project should evolve

over the allotted time. Be flexible and adaptable if your FMP decides to go in
a different direction than first intended

6. Critically analyse and evaluate – this will refer to the research you undertake,
the pre-production, production and post-production. Don’t just describe but
analyse, interpret, research and evaluate.

7. Listen to advice from your lecturers in formative assessment

sessions throughout the project. You might just find that as we are used to
marking work we know what the requirements are to make good/exceptional
projects. Remember, your work will be graded at Pass, Merit or Distinction,
so aim for the best grade you can and take advice on board when given
