Please ask these questions of any idea the group has before proceeding to develop a treatment and pitch to present to the teachers. You will need 8 yes’s in order to move forward! 1. Is it practical? 2. Is it an idea that works to the strengths of the group? 3. Will it show off the skills you have learnt so far on the course? 4. Is it something you can reasonably shoot and edit in the time available? 5. Can you get access/ permission to shoot in the chosen location at the chosen times? 6. Can you organise lighting to use in that location? 7. Have you included dialogue? If so, will it work to shoot conversation in that location? 8. Do you have guaranteed high quality reliable actors to play the characters?
