Webisode Pilot Production

Write up a report 700 words documenting the requirements for your webisode pilot production 

My pitch is based on bullying therefore it will be named The Bully or Bully this pitch will follow the main story through out the entire episode/season. The protagonist in my webisode is a troubled character called Piggy who is anti social and is know as the teachers pet as he plays the role of goodie too shoes also he is very intelligent. He does all homework on time so class mates despise him and hate on him because of his efforts.

My webisode will be multi-stranded as it will be showing the point of views of the victim and the predators so it will show the life through the eyes of the bully and through the eyes of the bullied (Piggy). this show would be episodic as the story would be told through a series of episodes.

The dramatic question is: Will Piggy commit suicide, turnover over to the bullying side. confront teachers about his case or parents.or will he continue to get bullied, keeps his feelings and emotions all bottled up, lastly will it lead to drugs intake or simply him slitting his wrist.

the episodes will end using either open and closed narratives but i say open will be suitable/preferred as it's not foreseeable so audiences cant predict the end. every episode will end on teasers making audiences crave and thirst for more.

A non- linear narrative will be used as it will add more creativeness and power to the story and flashbacks/rewinds, memory flash will suit this story line as it is based on bullying so it would be good to show different aspects/outcomes.

Lastly, this pitch would justify the use of non-linear as it will help audiences understand/grasp the story better. Piggy will lead to drugs which would then lead to flash backs which would make him aggravated, angry bringing out the worst in him.

What is required (ie what is needed)? 

The requirements needed to insure success of my webisode is:

• cast- characters playing in my webisode
• director- in charge of ordering people 
• camera operator- in charge of the camera e.g. filming...
• boom microphone operator- microphone placing to pick up sound for a realistic feel
• locations manager- who's in charge of choosing a suitable location for webisode 
• vfx creative director (the process in which imagery is created/manipulated)
• sound editor- checks sound in film e.g. compressing,panning...
• script writer- the man with the plan writes out all scripts so everyone knows their role
• the talent

 all these things listed above are crucial in fact essential to my webisode as each person has a role to play as you know one person cant make a film on his own.

My source of finance: for my source of finance i will be using kick starter Kick starter- which is know to be the largest funding platforms for creative projects. My budget requirements, equipment, transport, talent (cast/actors), crew (production), materials, facility hire (studio or edit suite) 

availability of equipment: Most of the equipment will be supplied by the camera crew. copyright is a very important law in the world of media as copy right laws prevent people from stealing your hard work so basically you are given ownership over t things you created. For example if it was a painting, a photograph, a poem or a novel, music video, e-portfolio, webisode if you created it, you own it (belongs to you) and it’s the copyright law itself that assures that ownership hence it means people will need to ask for permission to use you work when the copy right laws have been enforced.

to be honest this is essential for my webisode as it makes sure that no one can steal my uniqueness and creativeness. if someone does while the copy right law has been enforced that person would have to pay for copyright hence they could go jail or be fined a lot of $$$.

 the cost of copy right law is=$114 in pounds= £75.28. health and safety is prime as the safety of everyone comes first. so : crew should take regular breaks, food should be supplied, ambulance or some one in charge of healthy(nurse/ doctor).The British Board of Film Classification (BBFC); as my pitch is a web series its will still be regulated as it will be seen by wide audiences so it will have to be suitable for it specific audience which is teen youth so it cant be to violent or show scence that might trigger offence in the eyes of audiences.
