Darran Ervin Intro : Final Major Project (FMP)

This week i pitched my two ideas for my final major project.

My first idea was a 'Think' Advert using road safety but focused on the importance of car alarms.

Final Major Project (FMP): IDEA 1

Question: Is it Worth the Risk?

Car Alarms.

Shock value marketing.

For the car alarms in vehicles.

Due to personal experience my mum had a car with the most sensitive alarm in the world. Like:

If a strong wind blows it will go off

If the neighborhood car jumps on it goes off

When I sneezed the alarm went off

I planned to make it a 30 second – 1 min advert.

With one female main model.

Either:

Name: Marsh a.k.a Marshmallow

The locations i will use will be urban areas since these are places that people assume are the most dangerous.

Locations:

Peckham (House party 1)

Dulwich (House party 2)

Thamesmead (House party 3 Murder Scene)

Lewisham (Car Dealer ship)

Story/Plot:

Girl who buys a new car but unfortunately it has a super sensitive alarm. Which is a supreme hassle.

This girl loves to go to house parties or events where she can let loose and have fun, and she drives to all of these events since she loves driving all the time.

At each event she goes to something always sets off the alarm:

Strong winds

Stray cats

People leaning on the car

So she decides to get the car alarm removed by a mechanic or the car company itself. The man will foreshadow how it may not be safe to do this but she is sick and tired of this feature of the car.

She drives out to another house party. Everything is going well perfect party and she leaves sober and safely (maybe has a love interest).

She gets in her car puts her bag down in the passenger seat. Then a man in the back seat pulls her back and kills her in the car.

The car is in view of the house party (shacking up and down), however her friends think she’s having fun with a boy at the party.

Shot of the car shaking. Text shows up on the screen “We installed them for a Reason” OR “Is it worth the risk?”

FMP Idea 2

COMICON COSPLAY

Documentary title: Who Are You?

Question: Why cosplay?

I will be Researching on:

What is Cosplay?

What type of people cosplay and how it effects people now and future generations?

Do other people like cosplay?

Also is it worth the money, time and effort.

Why people cosplay.

Peoples opinions on cosplay

What Is Cosplay?: The practice of dressing up as a character from a film, book, or video game, especially one from the Japanese genres of manga or anime.

Personally I’ve loved cosplay but had not had the money to go all out and become my favorite characters from TV, films, games, manga and comics.

Last Year I wanted to go as Adewale from the game Assassins Creed: Black Flag.

March 19th-20th Saturday and Sunday at the NEC Center in Birmingham

Interviews and showcases will be of the different cosplayers, first time visitors and long-time veterans and ages around 16 – 40.

During The Comic con I will be posing these questions during the interview:

Cosplay Interview :

1. Do You Know What Cosplay Is ?
2. What kind of Cosplayer do you consider yourself to be ?
3. Why Do You Cosplay ?
4. If someone told you they hated your cosplay , what would you do ?
5. what would you do or say, if someone said they loved your cosplay ?
6. Is your cosplay homemade or bought?
7. Whats your favorite cosplay project ?
8. What was your first convention ?
9. What is cosplay to you ?
10. How far into character are you willing to go, at the end of the day are you "YOU" or are you your "CHARACTER"?

For people who don't go to London Comic Con. I created this survey on Quick Survey .com I have these questions for the public.

1. Do you know what cosplay is ?
2. Would you cosplay, and if yes How much would you spend ?
3. Do you know someone who does ?
4. Do you approve of it ?

The price for looking like you’re hero

These cosplayers are dishing out some serious cash to make themselves look like there chosen characters.

This could be seen as an art form or it can be viewed as a bad obsession.

Are they as good as the originals ?
