Pitch #2

Today, take a few minutes in the beginning of class and complete the handout for an idea for a film pitch. You will be required to write a film script (and for this purpose may choose between various film pitch assignments). Wondering what idea to come up with? This may inspire you.
As you consider an idea, take a moment to view this video (at least the first part of it). Learn this simple rule about film making (and also writing...)

Your pitch should be anywhere from 1-3 pages in length and include details about your film idea, character names, and have a beginning, middle, and end. See previous posts for advice on pitch writing.

NOTE: This is an individual assignment. Since the goal here is writing a script, not making it (at least not yet), please work alone. It is hard to enhance your script-writing abilities if you only work collaboratively.

Please read this article by Mickey Grant about making a film.

Pitch #2 is due by Friday.
