You should all now have finished your scripts and be ready to finish your pre-production. Any of you who have not will, unfortunately, have to come in to finish the scripts in detention.
The next step you need to do is to create some storyboard shots for your film. I have storyboard shots on file; ask me for them and I will put them onto your computer.
In the meantime, have a look at this link:
http://www.thestoryboardartist.com/Site/Hound.html
It provides an examples of a storyboard from the film Hellboy 2, produced by Josh Sheppard, a professional storyboard artist who has worked on nearly 40 films.
You will not need to produce storyboards as detailed as these but you will need to produce at least 4 or 5 simple storyboard sketches, showing what happens in key scenes. Each will need a simple sketch or photograph accompanied by a written description of what happens in the scene.
Once this is finished, you will have to answer the following questions in a post on your blogger.com:
What is your target audience?
What locations will you need to make your film?
How many people will you need for cast / crew?Will you need permission for filming in certain locations?
Are there any potential health and safety risks? If so, how will you make filming as safe as possible?
How can you group your filming into a schedule (so all scenes set in the same place are filmed together, to save time)?
How would you pitch your film to a producer?
For this last question, you will have to write a two minute pitch, describing why your film is exciting and interesting, and why it should be made. You will all pitch your films to the other people in your group and discuss which of your films should be made.
