Playlist Description:
(instructions given to teams) The DCWF Film Scramble January 15 2010 - January 18 2010 1. In this scramble, you will be creating a Movie Trailer. 2. You will be assigned a film genre at random. 3. The trailer must contain some overt reference to an unseen character named "Johnny Jenkins". The genres are: * Comedy * Mystery or Detective * Drama or Melodrama * Horror or Tragedy * Mockumentary or Exploitation * Romance or "Chick-Flick" * Sci Fi or Fantasy * Thriller/Suspense * Fable or Legend or Mythology * Family Film * Historical Fiction or Period Piece or Celebrity Biopic Note Your film Does Not have to be ABOUT Johnny Jenkins or have that name in the title. Length Your trailer may be anywhere up to 5 minutes. You do not "lose points" for having a trailer significantly shorter than 5 minutes; most trailers are 2 and a half minutes at most. Credits Rather than tack credits onto the beginning and end, consider how credits are presented in actual film trailers. Equipment There is no limit to the number of cameras you may use. Logline Please submit a logline for your film. A logline is a very short, catchy summary of the story, usually not longer than one sentence. example logline : "Transported to a surreal landscape, a young girl seeks a way home to Kansas, befriending along the way a scarecrow without a brain, a tin woodsman without a heart, and a lion without courage." A logline is not the phrase that might appear on a movie poster. (That's a tagline.) Miscellany Stock footage is not permitted. Stock photos are permitted if you have the rights to them. Animation is allowed but only if the animation was created solely during the span of the scramble. Post-Production 5 seconds of black A title screen with: team name or members, film title, genre and film rating* (G, PG, PG-13, or R.) 2 seconds of black Your film A title screen with: "This film made for the DCWF Film Scramble - January 2010 theDCWF.org" *We ask that while you may make a trailer for an R-Rated movie, that the trailers themselves be no harsher than PG-13. Submission Format Your film must be submitted on a DVD-R as data (as opposed to a playable DVD) Submission Details The data disc of your film and a sheet containing the log-line and team contact information must be submitted at the Blind Mule by 6pm on Monday Jan 18.
