1. Initial Plans
William Young

2. Pre-proposal
Tell me in no more than 30 words your initial thoughts about your FMP?
E.g. what would you like to do, etc…
Something that I would like to do would be a docufilm trailer/posters for
the docufilm, about Monty Oum, the creator of RWBY, one of my favourite
anime series.
Why have you decided work in your chosen medium? E.g. video, digital
graphics, etc
I want to do some posters because it would give me a chance to reference the
works of Monty Oum, and I want to do a video because I enjoy the creative
process of making any kind of video (a trailer in this case).
Who is the project for? Think about the intended audience… The project is for fans of Rooster Teeth and their works, since Monty Oum was
the creator of RT’s most famous work (RWBY)
What about your project makes it personal and important to you? The project will be about the creator of one of my favourite anime series, a
series that I’ve loved since it began in 2013. I was really sad when Monty died,
and I’ve always enjoyed the tributes that have been uploaded since 2015 (the
year Monty died).
What effect do you want to have on your audience when they see
your product?
I want the people who view this docufilm trailer to be interested in learning
about the main focus of the movie is (Monty Oum), the things he worked on
(particularly RWBY), and hopefully entertained by the trailer to the point that
they’re persuaded to want to watch the movie.
I want the people who view the posters for the Monty Oum docufilm to
remember it very well and have it stand out in their mind. They should be able to
recognise the poster as something they’ve seen before when they see it again,
and should be intrigued by what’s going on in the poster, in order to want to go
and see the docufilm.
Describe the tone/mood/style of your potential project [which
techniques/characteristics are you employing?]
The tone that I wish to take for the Monty Oum-docufilm is a comedic one, given
that the two main things that Monty developed (RWBY and Dead Fantasy) are
comedy series’, and their creator was known as a rather funny person. I wish to
emulate this tone in my docufilm trailer.
Why have you decided to work in this style/genre? I’m choosing to work in this style and genre because I’m good at it, and can make
this project the best that it can be if I make it in this style.

3. Skills Audit 1
Strengths:
• I have a good imagination when it comes to making
projects that I'm passionate about
• I give things that I'm super-passionate about my full
attention in order to make them the best that they can be,
in order to do them justice.
• I'm good at making posters and videos because I am skilled
at cutting things together, whether they're images or video
clips, and making them look like posters you'd see someone
make for a movie/TV show, or short film.
• I'm ambitious, which lets me try things that others wouldn't
usually try when it comes to things that I'm creating.

4. Skills Audit 2
Weaknesses:
• I'm stubborn. I don't like to do things that I don't want
to do, and that can make me suffer, grade-wise, as a
result.
• I'm not a confident speaker, so I wouldn't be able to
communicate my ideas as well as I would like to
verbally.
• I'm a very private person, and I'm not the best at
accepting help from other people when they offer their
assistance to my project, because I think that with their
help, my project won't be my project anymore, it'll be
both mine and theirs.

5. Mood Board

6. Mood Board Analysis
How does your mood board inspire your project?
• My mood board is inspiring to me because it's full of things I like,
and things that have spawned from things I like.
• Things I like on my mood board include Monty Oum, Rooster Teeth,
The Dark Knight and Captain America: Civil War.
– Things that have spawned from the things I like on my mood board include
RWBY, Dead Fantasy and Haloid (all series that Monty Oum either created
all by himself, or had a large creative role in)
• The posters that I posted in my mood board are all posters that I
wish to take inspiration from when making my posters for my
Monty Oum docufilm.
How will your mood board influence your final product?
• This mood board will influence my final product by me creating my
docufilm trailer in the style of things that Monty Oum (the person I
am making this trailer/docufilm poster about)

7. Key Influences
RWBY (2013-Present)
• I first discovered RWBY through the 'Red Trailer', the first piece of
promotional material related to the show, a couple of months after it
was uploaded to YouTube in late 2012. I was hooked on the series that
the main character in the video, Ruby Rose, was a cute girl (I was 11 at
the time of first watching the video) with a really cool weapon (a giant
scythe that also functioned as a sniper rifle), and I was one of the first
to see the 'White Trailer' that aired on YouTube a few months after
the 'Red Trailer' aired, and from then, I was hooked on RWBY, Rooster
Teeth (the company behind series' like Red vs. Blue and Camp Camp)
and Monty Oum (the main creative force behind the show).
• RWBY has gone on to have six seasons (titled as 'Volumes'), a couple
of videos games, several manga and comics adaptations, a manga
anthology, a comedy spin-off series, a young adult novel is in the
works, and Yang Xiao Long, one of the main characters in RWBY, has
appeared in the popular web series "Death Battle!!" (which,
incidentally, is owned by Rooster Teeth, the same company that
makes RWBY), where she fought Tifa Lockhart from Final Fantasy VII,
and emerged victorious.

8. Key Influences cont.
• The reason I'm influenced
by RWBY is because all the
genres that it's classified as
(science fantasy, action-
adventure and comedy-
drama) are genres of
entertainment that I enjoy
and watch really often. As
well as that, the show has a
diverse fanbase, and
theories regarding the show
are always interesting to
listen to.
