  1. WORKSHOP 1PRE-PRODUCTION STEPS TO TAKE BEFORE YOU SHOOT

  2. CONCEIVING OF APROJECT THE TOPIC SENTENCE – Can you describe your idea in a sentence? Project Aim – Describe the desired outcome of the project using a verb Is this a clear aim that can be distilled into a single sentence or idea? Decide upon the best way to convey these ideas

  3. CONCEIVING OF APROJECT BRAINSTORMING! Growing your ideas Write down words, ideas, issues or anything that comes to mind (no filtering) Group them together. Do any patterns emerge? What are you passionate about conveying? Decide upon a theme or area of concern based on these ideas. Distil a topic sentence from your theme – this takes work!

  4. RESEARCH LAYING THE GROUNDWORK FOR YOUR FILM Gaining knowledge on a subject Once you have a topic sentence, you can make a list of areas of study. Get your hands on as much info as possible – books, articles, documentaries, newspapers. Study and become knowledgeable in the subject. Begin to relate all the research back to your topic sentence: organize information into categories and subcategories as they relate to your overall idea.

  5. ORGANIZING INFORMATION TRANSLATING YOUR RESEARCH INTO IDEAS Shape your information into Categories for the film Ie. Different categories to convey information: Interviews Dramatization Charts/Graphs/Infographics Stock Footage/ B-Roll Narration

  6. GOING FURTHER WITH YOUR TOPIC SENTENCE/PITCH Make a list of relative ideas or categories For instance a topic on Urban Agriculture might involve categories like: Tools- Plant and Vegetable Species Tips from urban farmers. Etc. Organize these categories based on what type of info they involveor what might be the best way to convey information regarding the categories. “Plant and Vegetable species” would need a visual component, either photographs or video, whereas “Tips From Urban Farmers” could be voice over narration.
