LA1: Use research methods to gather material: proposals
What is a proposal?
A proposal within the media is a document that you present to your prospective client outlining how you can help them achieve their goals. A proposal is neither a pitch or a contract, but it is a key part of the client acquisition process that converts a prospect into a customer. A proposal is for you to attract key cast and crew - the more experienced cast and crew you sign, the more likely you will get your film produced.

What is included in a film proposal?
The right introduction/synopsis is critical since it's the first thing you read, and shows how passionate the creator is about the project. The introduction passes as a first impression, so if the cast and crew of the film don't like the script it sets a bad first impression. A good script is the next thing included which links to the next important thing - the Log-line. Your log-line is you telling someone ( like a producer or director ) what your script/film is about, explaining the plot and main concept as interesting as possible.
Screenplay structure comes next and is used to divide a screenplay into three acts - the set up, the conflict and the resolution. This way you can briefly sum up the plot quickly and efficiently. you then need to think of the characters who will be in your film and why they fit into your ideas/the plot with their personalities and characteristics.
Next comes the film treatment, which is almost a novelized version telling of your screenplay from start to finish.
It MUST be detailed and flow smoothly as if reading a short story.
knowing your target audience is an important aspect since you would need to know what your audience is interested in.
