1. Please write the synopsis for your chosen film idea below.
The must use 3 act structure
Incorporate 1 element of enigma
200 – 300 Words
My idea for my film is a superhero movie all about a guy who has already been
given his powers and been living with them for a couple months now. He has not
completely learnt how to use them but he has learnt a lot from what he has done.

This is then lead into his everyday life where he wakes up to a police radio and he
gets ready to go and stop whatever is going on. This will show his dedication and
his enjoyment of running, kind of being a way to get away from life and chill.

I got this idea from watching the series produced on YouTube by Ben Vasey by
the name of ‘The Bolt’. This is something I have watched a lot and I would love to
make something similar as it really interests me. I love the idea of making the
effects in the film and I think it will be amazing. I think I will make it into a movie
trailer as it would make a lot more sense that way. As I think it would be better
than compacting it all into a short film. Then maybe in a later date, I can complete
the movie and properly make it into a decent sized video.

I will also be using existing films like The Flash and other films using speedsters as
a background on good ways to use speedsters in live action

How to survive a final major project

 LEVEL 2

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

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
