Statement of intent: 100 words explaining what you plan to make.
Example statement of intent [133 words]:
I plan to make a 60 second fantasy TV drama scene called 'Eternal Thirst'.My fantasy drama consists of an encounter between a 14 year old girl coming back from tuition on a Saturday morning with a Bloodthirsty hooded man following her.You will see how she faces her challenge and if she makes a friends to help her along the way.
Plan
The scene is set in an secluded alleyway and past a cemetery.
It will start of as a harmless walk.
The girl begins to hum along with the voice inside her headphones whilst attaching a plaster to the blood on her finger.
This then leads to the hooded man slowly getting up from a slouching position from the gates of the cemetery.
He starts to follow her.
He hides between poles and trees so she cant see him.
She hears some grunts and growls and starts to walk briskly, she then begins running to an alleyway nearby her house thinking that she's safe.
The man appears out of nowhere and chases her which causes her to trip and injure herself on the spiky thorns.
She gets back up panting and scared for her life as she now sees that the man has now vanished and is nowhere to be seen.
Slowly the man creeps up behind her, grips her shoulders and bites her neck.
The screen goes black with a sound of a loud thud as she now wakes up in transition, growling in pain begging and crying to be set free.
She gets up limping to find a door on the alleyway
she sees that it leads to a house and starts banging on the door
A little boy appears with his football shocked to see what he's witnessed
the blood scares him as he screams mum only to remember that she's in the bathroom and couldn't possibly heal him.
He tells the girl to wait as he quickly came back with bandages and a big dusty book
He tells the girl that its his mum's spell book and that she wouldn't find out about it
he opens up the book to find the healing humans and animals page
He reads out a spell
a thunderstorm awakens as they fall asleep
3) Casting: Who will be in your preliminary exercise scene?
4) Plan your locations: Where you will film your preliminary exercise? (You can film off-site if you wish to do this for homework - this is what we would strongly recommend). Important note: You CANNOT take any students out of any other lessons OR disturb any other lessons in the school. If you wish to film in-school then you will need to film with Mr Harrison supervising or after school with a Media teacher present.
