The Pitch

You will have to pitch your ideas to the producers. Here are some, but not all, of the questions you may be asked:

1. Can you show me your storyboard, overhead diagram, shot list, sub-events list?
2. Where is your location going to be? What problems do you anticipate with your location?
3. Who is directing? Acting?
4. What props do you need?
5. What is your back-up plan in case of weather problems or someone is absent?
6. Explain the story and story structure to me.
7. What is the point of view? What is the point of focus in every shot? Will the audience understand where they are and what they are seeing?
8. Who or what should the audience care about?
9. What visual components or video techniques are you going to focus on?
10. Have you rehearsed any part of your production at the location yet?
11. How does the 180 degree line play into your production? Will you break the rule? Why or Why not?
12. How will I see some of the power ideas demonstrated in your production?
