TOPLINE & BIG QUESTION

In November, you had a list! https://a2mediaclass.blogspot.com/2019/11/planning-advanced-production.html

The order of posts relating to your film treatment:

1. Initial development / mind mapping /  brainstorming
2. Top line and Big Question
3. Film Treatment https://www.shorescripts.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/YoungMansGame_Treatment.pdf ALSO  https://charles-harris.co.uk/2013/10/12-essential-tools-for-writing-a-successful-film-or-tv-treatment/
4. Shot list
5. Storyboard

I learned  from Frank Ash, creative consultant with the BBC Academy, about what he call 'digital storytelling' : how to connect to an audience by creating a relevant story and how to leave them with a sense of anticipation and suspense.

When I start to plan my own Advanced Production, I will be devising a top line (one 'elegant sentence' that sums up the film opening treatment) and deciding on the big question (what happens next?).
