WORKSHOP Content
PART A: Production workshop
We’ll start with a practical session that aims to help participants understand how to break down a script/idea and ballpark the costs: what’s involved, how many shoot days, and what the key elements are that make a script/idea expensive and complicated to shoot.
In this session, participants will break off into smaller groups with a production company EP/Producer who will guide them through this process. We’ll then come together to compare each group’s conclusions.
As a result, you’ll have hands-on experience of one way to tackle the brief, but you’ll also then understand how different, additional thinking and approaches can complement an idea/script project when other teams have presented back.
PART B: ‘Out of the box’ creative project case study
Following the production workshop, we’ll take you through an award-winning and high-level creative project that relied on top-level production for success. The case study will be jointly presented by the agency and production company involved and will be followed by a panel and audience Q&A.
