Final Project Proposal / due Oct. 26

Once you and I discuss and agree upon one idea to pursue for your final project, your production process, shooting, and audio recording should begin immediately. You will also need to write up the idea in a Final Project Proposal. For full credit, these proposals should be 1 or 2 typed paragraphs, and they should contain the following information:

1. A one-sentence description of your project idea
2. Next, answer the following question: how will the video deliver my subject's meaning or story in a new or fresh way? In other words, how will your video be different than anything we've seen before?
3. 5 specific shots you plan to include to best express the subject matter.
4. 5 specific sounds you plan to include to best express the subject matter.
5. The specific sounds you imagine you will use for foreground, middleground,
and background tracks
6. The specific change or transformation you imagine will take place from the beginning of the piece to the end. Or in other words, what will the viewer learn, uncover, or realize at the end of the project that he or she was unaware of at the start. (Hint: Think about which images can achieve this transformation/revelation, which sounds?)
