RESEARCH: TOPLINE & BIG QUESTION

I learned  from Frank Ash, creative consultant with the BBC Academy, about what he call 'digital storytelling' : how to connect to an audience by creating a relevant story and how to leave them with a sense of anticipation and suspense.

When I start to plan my own Foundation Production, I will be devising a top line (one 'elegant sentence' that sums up the film opening treatment) and deciding on the big question (what happens next?).

Frank Ash has given me guidelines to plan my film opening. I turned what I learned into a comic using ComicLife (below).
