Starting Points:

Final Major Project Brief Plan:

‘For my final major project, I have chosen to do a film based on ‘climate change.’ Not too long ago last year, I decided to get myself an old ‘Super 8’ camera, I did this because I wanted to add a realistic super 8 effect without using ‘Premiere Pro’ to edit footage.

Reflection:

Although I didn’t get around to reading the books previously mentioned in my research, I plan to read the books and put that knowledge towards my FMP, so that maybe I can apply it to my own work and do better because of it. I felt the essay went by quicker than I anticipated so the primary research (the Stanley Kubrick books and other reading material) was skipped. To compensate, I did heavy research on the movie ‘Clockwork Orange’ I read about ‘Brutalist Architecture’ and I have read a lot about Stanley Kubrick and some of his other movies too. Through mainly the secondary research the essay turned out better than I hoped.
