Jungle Book practical
You will be producing a 2-3 minute interview with the marketing manager/producer/director/editor of the new Jungle Book. If there are three of you, you will write the script together then decide who will present, be interviewed and film (cueing script), if only two then take turns playing each of the roles and interview each other. The aim of these interviews is to get your audience to be excited about watching the film, it hasn't come out yet. The producer will talk about the exciting combination of actors and editor about the effects and the marketing manager can discuss all the ways they intend to promote the film. Go through your google slides and take notes of all the production and marketing techniques and devise questions for these.
Break it up into sections so that the interviewer can say let's take a look and we can see clips from the film or trailer. It will also give you a chance to prepare your next question and answer. Give us much information an be as interesting as you possibly can be and try to look at the interviewer when you speak. Maybe memorise a couple of lines at a time and then pause.
- Shot reverse shot (presenter and - marketing manager/favreau or his assistant/ distributor/Disney CEO) in the green room or with green sheet so you can insert Jungle Book backgrounds.
- Have a look at some film interviews, watch behind the scenes jungle book CGI clips
- Use your presentations, practise essays and fact sheets for the best bits to come up with questions and answers
- questions and answers do timings - for eg what are the most important aspects of the Jungle Book marketing campaign. Include gimmicks, merchandise and social media.
- Find the clips and images you need to show in the background
- The Jungle Book trailer is saved in the shared media drive
- Find somewhere quiet to film with a blank background and think about lighting, some classrooms in G block are perfect with their white slide curtains.
Recommended timings:
Day 1 write script - watch clips and interviews and come up with a list of questions
Day 2 film plan, location, set up, rehearse lines, print scripts
Day 3 film
Day 4 film and edit
Day 5 edit and upload onto blog by Friday January 27th
