Overview of the lesson

• The lesson will be divided into two halves.

• 2 members of the group will edit their scene.

• The other two members will finish their storyboards and

begin plan for the pitch.

• You will then rotate mid-way through the lesson.

Storyboard

• You are now going to produce your storyboards using all the correct composition and framing.

• Storyboard – You need to produce a storyboard of the scene you are going to produce, there should be at least twenty frames in the storyboard. These images should include any dialogue that you are going to use within the shot and also the movement of the shot e.g. pan, tilt or tracking shot. Use timings for how long each shot will last to identify that the scene is at least two minutes long.

Storyboarding

• You are going to create you boards using the template

that will be given out. It should look similar to the one

below.

Pitch

• This is like a presentation where you will sell your idea to

the class.

• You will need to create a presentation in powerpoint to go

with the pitch in the background.

• You will all pitch individually.

• It is your idea that you are pitching, from these will be

selected the best ideas to be made for production.

Pitch

You all have to pitch your idea of your film. The pitch should include the following information:

• A logline – a one or two sentence summary of your films narrative.

• Genre – what is the genre or sub-genre of the film?

• Narrative – what happens in the story, give an overview of the whole film?

• Stars – who would be in your film? Why would these stars be good in your movie? What is their appeal to the audience? Have they been in horror movies before?

• Target Audience – who is the target audience for your film (age range, gender and socio-economic grouping)?

• Justification – Why would your film appeal to the target audience?

• Overview of the scene you would produce for the film – include the storyboard in your pitch, or show it to the audience.

This information will be put back on the board after the edit demonstration.
