In short, here is the project production proposal for the latest idea

1. Working Project Title: "With Cranes"

2. Medium: Digital Film

3. Intended Audience: Those with an abstract view of the world and interested in the digital film genre of entertainment

4. Describe Project in one sentence: A satirical, psychological crime drama from different perspectives and themes.

5. Summary of Project in approximately 250 words: A serial killer, bent on gathering one thousand paper cranes to earn one wish, kills the same amount of people. Each person’s blood is soaked into the paper folded into the one thousand cranes. One victim survives the killing spree and, not knowing why, seeks out the blood and soul parts they lost. In the process of finding his lost self, he goes from rich to poor due to lack of care for anything else. A modern day Oracle, whose parents were killed by the serial killer and seeing all the deaths as visions, seeks to stop the killer before she is driven crazy. An unofficial detective, intent on finally catching this serial killer, chases down what clues he can. The detective catches the survivor and interrogates him, not learned too much before the Oracle is in the mix too. All three characters find the killer watching them and chase after the killer until they reach the killer’s hideout. The three characters finally catch the killer, after nine hundred and ninety nine deaths, who kills themself in desperation to complete the thousand cranes. The survivor picks up his crane, reclaiming full senses and foiling the serial killer’s plans. After the killer sees this, they die knowing they had failed and that their wish will never be granted. The survivor later comes back and quietly kills themselves, knowing they have nothing left to live for.

6. Main conceptual goal(s) to be achieved: Explore how a crime drama/serious story can be twisted in tone, but still retain the narrative wholeness.

a.) Conceptual themes: Psychological exploration of crime victims and those involved in crime investigation.

-How instinct can be more truthful than conscious thought.

-Visual representation of mental ailments.

b.) Historical themes: Investigation techniques from the past and the present.

-Misplaced individuals and how they can be the same in many eras.

c.) Cultural themes: The effect of media on people and information

-How investigation can take many forms through modern media

7. Discuss technical pursuits and how they parallel with your

conceptual themes: The camera will be used from extreme angles to add emphasis to the people and their states of mind.

-The use of sound from objects in the frame will add to the distorted tone of the piece.
