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. When in film production, a proposal is for you to attract key cast and crew. It's a visual presentation of how your film is going to look and your vision as a completed end product. The more experienced cast and crew you sign up, 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 is like a first impression, so if the cast and crew of the film don't like the script it sets a bad first impression. The next thing included is a good script, which links into the next important thing - the Logline. Your logline 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.
Next is the screenplay structure. The classic structure is 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 personalties and characteristics.
Furthermore, the film treatment follows after the characters. A film treatment is almost a novelized version telling of your screenplay from start to finish, written in the present tense. It must be detailed and flow smoothly, as if reading a short story. Film treatments are used almost as a way to communicate before the screenplay is written.
An important aspect is knowing your target audience so you can create the film accustomed to them. You'd need to know the aspects of your chosen genre and why your audience enjoy it, and how you can explain why your chosen audience demographic will enjoy your film.
Something extra could be presenting a storyboard to present your plot more effectively.
