Manchester trip

Plans are currently being made for the short film shoot (25th-29th June)


The Story

We are giving the group the opportunity to create the story for our short. Therefore, we would like you all to produce an idea for a script...the story can be about anything - but be realistic! It is unlikely that we will be able to stage a police shoot out and we only have 3 full days to shoot it!

Paul and I are in agreement that a simple story is best, with one or two main characters. If you are struggling to make a start on your story, consider things that are happening around you - friends, society, etc.

“A good place for you to begin is to draw from your whole background of experience” (Linda Cowgill, Writing Short Films)


Key dates

23/02/12: Ideas are to be presented (informal pitch) to the group and discussed openly (feasibility)

01/03/12: Final idea/Script (this can be developed once picked, however)

Paul and I will make the final decision on which story/script we will be shooting in Manchester...

Cost

It has been decided by Chris that, due to ever expanding costs, students need to contribute £50 towards the trip.

We realise that this has changed but it means that people have to make a commitment to going and we still feel that this will be a great trip for the cost....

  2. Just a question about the script what are we restricted on.(as in definitely not aloud to do.) It was mainly language in the script I was worried about. thanking you. :D

  3. write it...dont censor your script. however, make sure that the language is relevant - don't have swearing for the sake of it

    ultimately, the language won't be what we're looking at - we want a great story!
