FILMING: TOPLINE & BIG QUESTION

 I watched a presentation by Frank Ash who is a creative consultant for the BBC. He has taught storytelling and creative techniques to teams. From this presentation, I have learnt how important it is to  intrest and grasp the audience in order for them to enjoy it. It is vital that the audience is left intrigued.

For Frank Ash, film makers need to think of what the top line and the big question are. He calls the top line 'one elegant sentence' which sums up the story for the viewers. He then says 'we need to leave the audience wanting to find out more' which is what he calls 'the big question'. 

Having learnt from Frank Ashs post on future learn, I decided to sign up for future learns film. The course promises to cover how our favourite films make it to our local cinema or television screen, through the film distribution process. The start date is October the 18th 2021.
