The script proposal
Write a (no more than) 1200 word report on your proposed product.
- What is the title of your proposed script?
- Provide an overview of the proposed product, e.g., identification of genre, concept overview, unique selling point (USP), suggested target audience, initial scenario (think of narrative structures and where the 'story' begins, e.g., Cameron's Titanic does not start in 1912).
- Will the product be proposed as a single, series or serial?
- What is the intention of your product? What do you hope to achieve by focusing on your proposed narrative?
- Is your proposed product high concept?
- How you hope to communicate your product and how will that appeal to your target audience (think language and characters).
- Is there an intended message?
- Who are the main characters? Provide details of the characters'; name, age, dramatic motivation and role in narrative. You may discuss actors and actual people here in order to say how they have inspired you but you must not say who would play the characters as that is not your choice as a writer.
- Are there any non-fiction talent requirements, e.g., role, age, on-screen persona overview?
Synopsis
Write a 300 word synopsis detailing the beginning, middle and end of you proposed narrative. Focus mainly on the central narrative but do also mention any other strands if necessary.
