The Documentary Development Toolkit

The Documentary Development Toolkit: How To Develop Your Documentary Idea And Get It Commissioned.

This is a one day workshop aimed at giving film-makers the necessary skills to develop their documentary project into a solid idea that has strong market potential.
The workshop focuses on the core skills involved in taking an initial idea through to a proper development package that would bring the attention and finance of major decision makers.

It includes:

•Idea Development. Really giving an idea legs, and making sure your proposition is strong, relevant and something which the industry would have interest in.

•Proposal Development. How to produce a well-written proposal.

•Teasers and Taster Tapes. How to produce a compelling taster-tape - an essential ingredient of the pitching process.

•Pitch. An overview of the necessary skills in making a confident and successful pitch.

The workshop is practical and you’re more likely to benefit by bringing a documentary idea that you have been working on.
