Project Brief
Within your groups, you are challenged
to conceive, develop, script, shoot and edit an original 10’ documentary which
fits the following brief:
– BBC3 – ‘My Hero’ – stories of heroism.
– Or
– Canterbury
Cathedral – film for their YouTube channel about the artists and artisans work
to keep the beauty of the cathedral alive
The project is split into two creative pipelines,
which you must follow to complete the project successfully.
Part 1: The pitch & prep:
1)
The idea for
the documentary must be finalised and presented as a 25-50 word pitch (like a
tv listings billing) together with the creative vision for its visuals and
storytelling approach, details of access regarding proposed characters and
locations (real possibilities not just a wish list!) and explain the relevance
of your choices - the pitch session on Mon 17th March.
2)
The completed
draft script (typed, printed and properly formatted) and evidence of
accompanying research (either on blog or hard copy) must be submitted on Mon 24th
March 1500 - 1700.
3)
YOU
WILL NOT be allowed to proceed into the production phase unless this is
submitted by the above deadline.
Part 2: The shoot
& edit
1) Using your
script as the blueprint you must then continue to research and set up your
shoot arranging all relevant : scheduling,
cast, crew, locations, shotlist/storyboard.
2)
The final version of the film (on DVD/CD)
and all relevant research and development work (on the blog) must be submitted by
1500-1700hr on Monday 12th May.
