| Course Requirements: You must complete both the pitching project and strategy project in order get credit for the course. Project: Each student will pick a project (either real or speculative) to base their semester-long project on. Starting in the 3rd session, each student will pitch their project to the class, as if we were potential financiers, co-producers or other potential participants. Feedback and class discussion will follow each pitch. Based on the feedback, the students should refine their pitch and be prepared to re-pitch it to the class starting in the 7th session. Finally, starting in the 10th session, each student will give a oral presentation of their business strategy for the film they’ve been pitching. You should include an analysis of the type of film you would like it to be, your priorities from a creative perspective, packaging issues, the type of budget necessary, and therefore why you believe the film will get made! Also, try to anticipate any difficulties you expect to encounter due to the material, and your answers to those issues. This is an individual project!
