pre- production for short film (script and SB)

The Main Script

CHARACTER1:            Hi, you’re watching this for a reason… and thatis             
                                     because you’re broke and you wanna make a
                                     film. There is also a reason as to why
                                     I am here, to show you how to get money for
                                     your project.

                                     There are lots of ways as to how to get lots of  
                                     funding. An option you should definitely check
                                     out is crowd funding. This means checking
                                     Websites like Kickstarter, Indiegogo and
                                     GoFundMe, you will be required to create a
                                     campaign which would run for about a month
                                     that will convince people to fund you your
                                     project. Not all campaigns will go through and
                                     get their target but it’s all about learning so
                                     don’t just drop everything once it’s over try
                                     something else! Isn’t that right random person
                                     from the set.
                                    

CHARACTER2:            Yup.


CHARACTER1:           Thank you for that. So as I was saying there are a
                                    lot more ways as to getting money for your film,
                                    one of which being sponsor ship this can be done
                                    in the form of product placeme- OI! WERE YOU
                                    GOING!

                                            CAMERA MAN STARTS RUNNING WITH THE
                                            CAMERA SHAKING IT AND RUSHES TO A
                                            PERSON DRINKING A WELL KNOWN DRINK

CHARACTER3:          mmmmmmm. What a tasty drink. Wait whys
                                   there camera here?

CHARACTER1:          (V/O OFF) HEY! Come back here!



                                              SCENE2.
   
                                             A CLASS ROOM HE WILL

CHARACTER1:          moving on, another way of getting the
                                     funding you need for your film could be
                                     done through grants from specific film
                                     specialised investors. Now there are lots
                                     of different ones for example channel 4
                                     that invest £15m annually in to the
                                     industry covering many different type of
                                     project from small independent films to
                                     large scale productions. Also BBC is
                                     committed to creating young film
                                     makers to have a better grasp of the
                                     Industry and to teach them new talents to
                                     Develop their skills. The way to get in
                                     contact with BBC would be via an agent and
                                     Individually as an established producer. 



                                                        -2-



AGENT:                         Here sir.            


CHARACTER1:           Not that kind of agent. BUT. This opportunity is
                                       all around the UK from creative Scotland, ffilm
                                       cymru wales and northern Ireland. Find this
                                       Information at weareukfilm.com (saying it
                                       Incorrectly)
