Proposal

Title: The Tre Project

Production Start Date: Monday 19^th April

Production Crew: Daniella Griffiths and Biyan Li

Production Company: Awen Productions

Detailed Description: We are going to make a film on the idea of home. We are going to make a film about Biyan’s Step Dad’s opinion of home. We will try and relate the places of how they were then to now by using footage and quick photographs. We will collect some archive footage and film a new interview of Biyan’s dad perception of home and all his memories. This film will be a documentary. We are going to make our own music in logic pro. We will keep it to the style of the footage at that particular time of the footage that’s showing or the storyline. Most of the story will be a voice over by Biyan’s dad but there will be a few clips of the interview. We are going to get some archive footage of some streets in Cornwall according to peoples stories. If we cannot get archive footage we will film the current location and put a filter on it to make it look old and we will do the same effect on photographs that we take. We will film modern footage of the areas that we have of old footage and places that bring memories to people we gather stories from. We will gather stories of Cornwall from people by using an mp3 recorder. The film will allow an insight into how the culture and place has changed. We might use the effect of looking at an image in an old Cornish book then it transforms into footage. We might make a short narrative about the idea above with the drama students based on old story of Cornwall and adapt it to our view of home either through the area or the topic of that story.

Target Audience: Our target audience is probably aimed at 40 - 80 year olds as they love looking back to their younger years and remembering what a particular place was like when they were growing up compared to now. Also I think is suited at documentary lovers as this is going to be a documentary style.

We would like to make this film because it is all about Cornwall, which I love and it is a family relative of my friend. I think the mood and feelings expressed in this film will be a mixture depending on the story being told at the time. We have chosen to use the effects above because I think it portrays Cornwall and Graham’s Story very well. Also you are able to see and interpret these areas in all different ways. The footage and images portrayed in this way are presenting the old and archive feeling of the story in a realistic way. We want to achieve an interesting and different perspective of Cornwall and make people aware of issues and opinions that used to happen compared to now. We aim to finish this project by the end of term, which is the 9th July. This will be the film that we make and all the paperwork that we have to do. We have done all the research now so all we have to do is make the product and other evaluating and analysing work. Our team will be Biyan, Graham and me. There will be also some other people we could interview about their memories with her Graham. Biyan and I will be filming, editing and taking pictures and doing the paper work. Graham will be the person telling his story. The Archive footage we are going to use are the following: Marazion / long rock beach Zennon cliff path Morab road Queens street Penzance town We will also take recent footage/images on these following areas and other recent footage that Graham remembers in the footage/images. We chose these pieces of footage because this where Graham has the best memories. Also these are the places he’s going to talk to us about.
