Film Pitch Assignment

I'd like to hear your movie pitch on the 29th and 31st. There are not too many sites on the web with sample pitches, but a few. Your pitch should tell the whole story of your movie, dramatically, so as to entice interest. You are JUST TELLING THE STORY. However, be prepared to answer questions about budgeting, locations, etc.

The written part of the assignment should include:
  • your pitch (or the notes you used in your pitch)
  • a synopsis (no more than 2.5 pages)
  • a tagline (a single sentence that tells us the story)
  • a single scene of roughly 5 - 7 pages of dialogue/action
  • the breakdown of the movie into its three acts, including plot points
  • anything else you decide to include that gives me a better idea of what the movie is about

The written part is due on Friday, the 2nd. We MIGHT have a short vocabulary test that day, but most likely we will review Syd Field, then act out some of the scenes.
