If you want to try to hook up with potential actors, soundtrack composers, and possibly make-up/costume/props whiz-kids, then get the following to me by the end of Thurs 22nd (copy/paste into
Word and add details, then email
Word doc to me):
YOUR FILM'S WORKING TITLE:
TRAILER OR SHORT FILM?:
SYNOPSIS (no more than 2 sentences, preferrably one):
(SUB-)GENRE/S:
COMPARABLE TO (any films/TV shows its
somewhat like):
WHAT I'M/WE'RE AFTER: COMPOSER?
ACTORS? (give brief details of character role, with any appearance requirements - age, hair colour, height etc)
MAKE-UP/SFX/PROPS/COSTUME/MISE-EN-SCENE (give brief details)
YOUR BLOG/S ADDRESS/ES:
There are no guarantees with this; you're asking fellow students, as busy as you are, to give up their own time to work on YOUR project for YOUR grade. IF we do manage to get some volunteers, I expect you to show your appreciation, and to listen when these folk make creative suggestions. Think back to our discussions about the
auteur theory, and how this concept soon breaks down when you consider the influence of lighting technicians, casting directors, editors, sound recordists, actors... Film-making is always ultimately a collaborative process, even when its the vision and energy of an individual that has got a project going, a point well worth remembering!
If I get enough responses I can put a dossier together to pass to colleagues in Creative Arts, and hope they can find some lesson time to talk through this, with the intention of using a lunchtime 1st week back to bring together any interested volunteers with yourselves. If you can't manage to put this together and email to me by the end of play tomorrow you've missed your chance.
