SUMMATIVE: Pre-Production Pitch
Project Brief
You will be completing the following pre-production elements for a 3-5 minute short film to create a pitch:
Story Arc (Set-Up, Inciting Incident, Rising Action, Climax, Falling Action)
Script: Fully script the following scenes:
Scene 1 (Set-Up)
Scene 2 (Inciting Incident)
12-Cell Storyboard (12 different shots - 2 per part of your story arc)
Story Arc
On a Google Doc: Create a 6-part story arc.
Make sure your Google Doc is in your "Video Production 2" > "Short Film"
StoryBoard
Using the storyboard paper, draft 2 shots per part of your story arc. These won't be all the shots in your story. Just to show the basic idea.
For each shot you need to explain the location, shot size, framing technique, and camera angle
In your Google Drive in "Video Production 2" > "Short Film" use the scan feature to scan your paper (front and back).
