By the end of this class, you will have made a Film Proposal independently.

CLASS PROJECT
In each lesson, you will be given a short task that will help you practice and apply the concepts you have learned. These tasks will be based on an example project – the creation of a film proposal for a short film adaptation of the classic fairy tale "The Ugly Duckling." by H.C. Andersen.

1. LOGLINE > In the first lesson, you will be asked to create a logline for your film based on the story of "The Ugly Duckling." This logline should capture the essence of your film and entice the reader to want to learn more.

2. SYNOPSIS > In the second lesson, you will be asked to write a synopsis of your film based on the "The Ugly Duckling" story. This synopsis should outline the main plot points and character arcs of your film. I will cover how to write a long and short synopsis.

3. TREATMENT > The third lesson will focus on creating a treatment for your "The Ugly Duckling" film. This treatment should include specific scenes and descriptions of the characters, setting, and action.

4. AUTHOR STATEMENT > In the fourth lesson, you will be asked to write an author statement for your "The Ugly Duckling" film. This statement should outline your personal take on the film and explain why it is important to you.

5. VISUAL STATEMENT > The fifth lesson will focus on creating a visual statement for your "The Ugly Duckling" film. This statement should showcase the look and feel of your film through the use of cinematography, light, and other visual elements.

6. AUDIENCE & MARKETING > Finally, in the sixth lesson, you will be asked to create a target audience report for your "The Ugly Duckling" film. This report should outline the demographics and interests of the people you envision as the primary audience for your film.

By completing these tasks and working through the example project, you will gain hands-on experience in creating a film proposal and be well-prepared to pitch your film to investors.
