Script for Short Film Presentation

Slide 1 – Introduce myself and what the film is called

Slide 2 OUTLINE OF IDEA – The outline of my idea is about a married couple who are called Mark (44) and Amy (43). Mark recently encounters difficulty at work as they had to dismiss him from his job as they couldn’t afford to have him anymore. Because of this Mark takes up a nasty habit of drinking and a taste of violence. This story is about how Amy tries to help Mark to get over the hurdle that he has come across.

Slide 3 WHY I HAVE CHOSEN THIS IDEA – I have chosen the areas of domestic abuse and alcohol abuse because I feel like it is not spoken about enough, and is happening to people every day and anyone can be affected by these areas of abuse.
From my target audience research, I found that there is a gap in the market for a social realist film about domestic abuse and alcoholism short film.

Slide 4 TARGET AUDIENCE – The target audience for “Change” is for ages ranging from 18-45 year olds. I have chosen this age range purely because they might be able to relate to the themes and issues that are being conveyed. Another reason why I have chosen this age range is because it will create awareness about domestic abuse and alcohol abuse.

Slide 5 EQUIPMENT – KF Productions will be using equipment provided by The Beacon School. Due to an agreement we are able to access this equipment, free of charge. I will be using a:

Camera – Canon Legria HF R66

Sound Recorder – Tascam DR 05

Tripod – Libeck Fluid Head

This is all very important to my production because a company in which KF Productions are in partnership with has allowed us to loan this equipment for our production free of charge.

Slide 6 LOCATIONS – The locations that are going to be used in change are locations that are recognisable by anyone as the genre of the film is social realism. This is a convention of social realism. 

Slide 7 PERSONNEL REQUIREMENTS – The personnel requirements for the production will need a small skeleton crew of up to 5 people, their roles include:
u A director, writer and producer which is done by one person only
u Lighting operator
u Assistant cinematographer
u Director of photography
u Sound recordist

I have chosen these particular roles because I feel like they are a vital part of the production process.

The director/writer and producer are a main factor because they have the idea and the vision for the finished product, they interpret the script and the story to themselves but keeping it as close as possible.

Lighting operator is important because they would need to light up places that are not covered by the indoor lights so we would need a lighting operator to put in lights so the set is lit up.

Assistant cinematographer is important because they can throw ideas to the director of photography and work together.

Director of photography runs all the camera operators and is in charge of how the frames look, also he is in charge of the lighting operators, he has an important role to achieve.

Finally the sound recordist, I have chosen this role because we want the best quality sound when filming because we want the audience to get the  best experience out of the film.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               
Slide 8 BUDGET – The budget KF Productions has lined up for this production is a minimum budget of little to nothing, a desired budget would be £10,000.

Slide 9 Project Schedule - The schedule I have chosen to use is that I film 4 days a week for two weeks. I feel that this will allow enough time to capture the footage I need to make this a great and successful short film. The editing process will take 3-5 days. 

Slide 10 DISTRIBUTION - The distribution for the short film would be on YouTube or Vimeo as it is easy access for anyone who has access to the internet and on top of that it is free so it doesn’t affect my budget.


Slide 11 - Thank you for listening to my presentation. Are there any questions?
