Too long

Story board
Give some context – make it more comical


For our video I thought that our story board and script was very thought out and planned, which enabled us to film quickly and efficiently. In hind sight, the video was too long for a solely information based video and the audience may quickly loose interest. This could have been easily corrected if we added some more humour to the video.

Script:

Joel Peters and Harrison Leighton

Setting: In the media office sitting on mrs eyres desk.

Joel: So you’re a young budding filmmaker who doesn’t have any experience or much of a budget. Well lucky I’ve done my research on 3 websites to help you succeed in your filmmaking.

Joel: Of course, follow me and listen to my words of wisdom to find out how to thrive in the creation of your film.

Setting: Headteachers office.

Harrison: I’ve heard about 2 websites that would help me become a budding young filmmaker, please explain the vital information I need to thrive in my production.

Joel: Are the 2 you have researched, WE ARE UK FILM, Creative Europe

Harrison: Why yes they are, what a coincidence.

Joel: WE ARE UK FILM bring together the UK’s film national and regional agencies, producers and sales companies less than one umbrella to provide clear information about the outstanding locations, services, films and talents. They stand out to represent the UK film industry and enable connections with both national and international partners.

Harrison: Do they work with anyone else and have partners?

Joel: Why yes! Yes they do! They are in partnership with BFI – British Film Institute, The British Film Commission (BFC) They have commercial partners such as Disney and Warner Bros. UK and its UK-based film production operations, Working Title Films, Elstree Studios and Coutts, Creative England, Creative Scotland and many more.

Harrison: But I need funding for my film, what has this got to do to help me?

Joel: Well, companies such as WE ARE UK FILM, source their funding from these companies that they work with. Their partners help invest into their productions which will be used in pre and postproduction.

Harrison: So I have to find a willing investor?

Joel: That’s one option but let me explain how other companies source funding for their films…

Setting: computers

Harrison: Ive heard of Creative Europe. Who are they?

Joel: Creative Europe is a company that helps finance young budding filmkaers such as you, Harrison.
They host events all across the nation and organize their own free seminars and workshops about themselves.
they don’t just support film makers, they give opportunities to producers, video game developers, distributors and other areas of expertise in the new media sector.

Harrison: How successful have any of these people been? Has anyone succeeded from these investments?

Joel: well, the results have been phenomenal. Over £40 million was invested in the UK’s audiovisual sector: 113 UK companies and 55 UK cinemas in the Europa cinemas network have been benefited from the grants.

Harrison: know I know about 2 companies.. What about the third?

Setting: Cafeteria

Joel: Considering you are an individual making a short film and not an established company, methods such as crowd funding would be a more suitable option for you to source finance. By crowdfunding, you can obtain the money online and also spread aware

    It would be useful to put your storyboard, script and video within this post.

    You have missed out some other elements of pre-production/production - Research, lighting, location recce. Please put these in to the right boxes.
