Organise yourselves into the groups that you want to work in for your practical productions (remember that the maximum number allowed by the exam board in a group is four).
Look at the brief you have been issued with for your practical production coursework. Your task is to prepare a film pitch (where you would pitch [try to sell] your idea to a film studio/ production company to get the budget you require of £5m).
Prepare a presentation can be on powerpoint, video, multimedia (moviemaker) etc. to include the following for your pitch:
- Overview of the idea (Film Treatment) explaining the genre of your film, a synopsis of the narrative (referring to narrative theory), details of setting, characters etc (use Propp's character terminology).
- Which production company(ies) would you be pitching to? Detail them and explain why they would be relevant for the genre of film you are aiming to produce.
- Explore fully how your film would appeal to more than the mainstream 16-25 youth market.
- Address what content is likely to be in this film that would mean the trailer could only be shown in cinemas showing films that have been classified as 15 or 18.
In Wednesday's lesson you will pitch your ideas to the 'film board' to see if they consider your idea suitable for funding. You must all play a part in the pitch process!
Remember from here on in this is all about being CREATIVE, let's see the creativity start flowing now and not just have people reading from the whiteboard!
To get an idea of how NOT to pitch a film please see the following Ben Stiller and Vince Vaughn attempt!
