16.3

For UNIT 16 LO3 you need to be able to develop ideas by creating proposals and sample materials for two original audio-visual products.

The way this will work is that you will pair up and each create an individual proposal that you will then share. You will need to create a document that includes pictures and thumbnail descriptions of your central characters. 

P3  

Learners select their two most appropriate ideas for original audio-visual products, and create the following for each idea:

a) treatment containing:

• outline of form, content and style

• the product’s potential position in marketplace

• a specified target audience

b) sample pre-production materials

 If you want a merit or distinction for this unit then this is the criteria you will need to meet.

M1
Learners create treatments for both ideas that have a good degree of feasibility and are appropriate for the needs of the specified target audience. The treatments include key scenes in addition to working title, format, running time, synopsis and character list. The sample materials produced for both ideas are fit for purpose and generally of a good technical standard

D1
Learners create at least one treatment that suggests further development possibilities for the original audio-visual product. Learners produce sample material for their original audio-visual products, which have a high level of appeal and are generally of a high technical standard

Below is the breakdown for The Wire by David Simon. It provides an idea of how much of the series have been thought through. The full document runs to 79 pages and includes a detailed breakdown of each episode in the series. You should also include a short summary of what would happen in each of your 10 episodes.

The sample materials that you will produce will be the title sequence which will use the photographs that you take.
