My Big Fat Greek Wedding Posts Here Please...

Week 8 Wonders

Hello class,

Ok, so don't forget your homework assignments:

  1. Look up the history of My Big Fat Greek Wedding and blog on how it was marketed.
  2. Print out the career links section from the companion website of Media Now.
  3. Look up the websites referenced on the syllabus and do a comparative analysis blog
Also, practice your pitches! Remember the format for the class exercise:

  • Logline
  • Style/tone/type of project.
  • Character descriptions (e.g. Mariah, an artistic, twenty-something instructor with an urban flare...)
  • Hero's journey - brief and to the point. No play-by-plays allowed!
  • Target audience and any peripheral information (look/feel/attachments [talent]).
Don't forget to let us know up front if it is a doc/feature/animation, etc. in the style/tone section. Remember, it's a pitch, not a marathon...

:)

Have a great week!
