FMP After Pitch - Changing Idea

After I Pitched my FMP idea for Alone I ran into a complication one of the reasons I chose this as my FMP was because I had the location which was my house and was completely free and able to be used but I could no longer use the location due to the fact the owner was returning home and I would not be able to film at nights as I hoped to. So I then went back to my previous ideas before the Pitch and Realized Idea 5 would be easier to do and it would not be rushed so would overall be of better quality after thinking it Through I decided to change ideas and work on Idea 5 instead which would be easier to do and be less rushed.


FMP Pitch Review


I decided that I would use Idea 4 which was called "Alone" as my Final idea I then had to pitch the idea to the class The following are the slides are from my PowerPoint pitch for my FMP. After my pitch I only received one question which was concerning the amount of gore that my FMP would have because I was hoping for a 15 rating on my Final Product I decided there would only be one scene which would contain gore and would simply be dripping down the Protagonists hand.



FMP Advancing Ideas

After coming up with 5 basic ideas I decided to look over them pick 3 and advance them giving the ideas more thought and detail.

Idea 2 - (Table for One)

5 Men sitting around a old wooden table wearing dated suits and hats talking about a case of money that they stole one states there's only 5 people that know about the heist and there all in the room the conversation gets heated and they decided only one person can leave to ensure no one talks they all agree and put there guns on a separate table in the corner of the room apart from one gun a 6 bullet revolver which is placed in the middle of the table they then begin to spin the gun whoever is points at is then shot one by one they all die until 2 remain one man spins the gun but as he does so the other man shoots him with a concealed gun he then picks up the case and walks out.

Pros: Well Developed, Good Idea
Cons: Location, Props, Costume

Idea 4 - (Alone)

A young man is alone in his house for the evening or so he thinks then he begins to hear strange noises and he soon realises he's not as alone as he thinks he then begins to search the house baseball bat in hand as he's tormented by a mysterious figure who has one goal and soon enough a game of kill or be killed begins.

Pros: Good Idea, Access to location
Cons: Timely (has to be set at night)

Idea 5 - (Lonely Existence)

Waking up to a world void of all life Our protagonist has been alone for 3 weeks now he has questions but no answers he's finally accepting the truth of this lonely survival when he begins to notice something following him perhaps he's not alone as he thinks and the more he try's to look answers the more danger he's thrusting upon himself.

Pros: Good idea, Access to Location
Cons: Sound, Props

FMP Basic Ideas

FMP Ideas

These are my really basic ideas before there is any detail added for my Final Major Project

Idea 1

Shooting the Entire Project as a first person object for example a skull filming the entire project through the eyes of a skull leaving the audience guessing what the object is whilst telling the story of everyone around it. Idea is the object is something illegal and someone want to take it from The owner.


Idea 2

Dark room with some men (not sure how many) sitting round a wooden table all dressed in there best (like a 70s American gangster) discussing a case of money and how only one will leave with it the all decided there's only one fair way Russian roulette they place the gun on the table and spin one by one they die until 2 are left who have a climatic and off and spin the gun it points at a man that's clearly the dominant one he seems to calm about it the other guy picks up the gun and shoots but there's no bullets the main man then shoots a small pistol he walks over and picks up the case as he leaves the man he shot is choking up blood and says "cheater" before spurting more blood and dying.

Idea 3

(would like fog or rain) Dark outside a car pulls into view a mysterious man gets out he takes out a letter inviting him to a house he walks towards the house when he walks in its quiet and there's no electricity he uses a flashlight puts the letter on the counter and searches the house finds nothing he manages to short circuit a light into working the house isn't dirty but quite clean he sits on the bed the hears a noise opens the door and there's a silhouette of a girl outside who quickly disappears he decides to search the house again to be sure and he finds a blood trail (clearly not there earlier) he follows it to a dead rat in the garage the door quickly closes leaving him in darkness.

Idea 4

Serial killer horror set in a house in the dark: a man is being stalked in his own house by someone trying to kill him he ttys to find the killer before the killer finds him.

Idea 5

A man is left alone win the world he is the last human on the planet as he continues to search for a reason for this he begins to notice that maybe he is not alone as a mysterious figure is following his every move.
