The must use 3 act structure
Incorporate 1 element of enigma
200 – 300 Words
The movie focuses on Bob, a nervous guy in the middle of his college course. One day on
his way home he meets Steve who’s the exactly the same age but is a much more
confident and wittier guy and the two instantly bond. However, what Bob doesn’t know is
Steve is an alternate universe version of himself brought over here by a freak accident
when he was messing around with a machine in the basement of an abandoned science
lab.

Steve is conflicted whether he should tell Bob or keep it a secret while trying to get back
to his own time.

The plans however don’t go well, when they realise they have developed feelings for each
other. This puts Steve in a position of having to reveal to Bob that despite the different
upbringing, they are technically the same person due to the alternate universe where Bob
was swapped at birth.
Bob is shocked but happy he knows why he doesn’t resemble his parents and accepts
Steve and the two of them kiss.
The happiness is short lived when universal anomalies start happening and they both
know what they must do.

By working together, they’re able to reopen the portal knowing Steve needs to return.
Bob and Steve have an emotional kiss goodbye and close the portal together on either
side.

Thanks to the emotion support from Steve, Bob finds it in himself to become a lot more
confident.

How to survive a final major project

1. Do something you enjoy – look back on projects this year and think about
what skills you’ve learnt and which you have really enjoyed. What job would
you like to do in the future? How can you apply it to your project?
LOVE YOUR PROJECT

2. Do lots and lots of research – primary and secondary are both essential.
Use a wide range of methods and resources (as covered in unit 2).

3. Manage your time. Just think how fast this year has gone so far. Plan ahead
and don’t fall behind. MAKE USE OF INDEPENDENT STUDY TIME.

4. You must document everything what happens as you go along. Your entire
journey from start to finish should be fully recorded. Describe and analyse as
you go along. Every aspect of your project should be fully considered. Your
Project Action Plan and Timetable will be vital to the success of your FMP

5. Research, design, experiment, build, evaluate. Your project should evolve


over the allotted time. Be flexible and adaptable if your FMP decides to go in
a different direction than first intended

6. Critically analyse and evaluate – this will refer to the research you undertake,
the pre-production, production and post-production. Don’t just describe but
analyse, interpret, research and evaluate.

7. Listen to advice from your lecturers in formative assessment


sessions throughout the project. You might just find that as we are used to
marking work we know what the requirements are to make good/exceptional
projects. Remember, your work will be graded at Pass, Merit or Distinction,
so aim for the best grade you can and take advice on board when given
