1. GENERAL IDEA OF HOW TO DO THIS For all of the remaining slides, add info and fill in structure of big idea… Add aspects of his life, have a slide for each aspect, then a subslide for each specific scene in the aspect that I will use ie WAR – ALEX WAS A GREAT WARRIOR…. – MORE WAR INFO PERSONAL LIFE – BLAH BLACH BALH Then, next slide, THE BATTLE OF BLAH – DETAIL SUBDETAIL ROMANCE WITH BLAH – ROMANCE – LIFE – RELATIONSHIP

2. Alexander By sam raphael

3. What is Alexander about? The life story of alexander the great The reflection of alexander the great on his job as a ruler

4. Plot Alexander the great starts off on his deathbed in babylon He tells someone his life story We include flashbacks in with the story, making up most of the movie This allows for lots of wiggle room with what we include, exclude, and tweak

5. Aspects of His Life to focus on Battle/conquers – That’s what people wan’t to see

7. Birth Alexander the great – Born in 356 – Father Phillip II – Mother Olympias – Alexander III – Born in Macedonia

11. Tyre Tyre will be the main focus There will be the entire siege, as told by “Alexander the Great” There could be a few scenes trying to put a spin on the mystery of his death/poisoning

12. How do we go about making a successful movie? Coordinate scenes and ideas with pop culture Modernize the story – More people will watch a fresh and exciting film over a documentary! Add scenes based on the audience – Age – Gender – Interest

13. Who is the target The target age is 14-28 These are the people who are either just becoming allowed to go to the movies by themselves, or are frequent moviegoers This is the age that pop culture is based around

14. The R Rated movie Realistically, people ages 14+ see rated R movies (some even younger) – As much as people try to uphold the rules, very few movie theaters won’t stop an underage person from buying a ticket These kids want to see an R rated movie If we make it, they will see it

15. The Battle scenes Alexander the great conquered so much The more he conquered, the more battles we can show in the movie Movies like 300, and lord of the rings are famous because of their epic battle scenes Simply, the more fighting, the more people will want to watch.

16. Pop Culture Hire popular, attractive actors – People will see a movie just because an actor is in it Put popular songs in the soundtrack – People will buy the soundtrack – People will hear that that song on the radio is in the movie, and come watch it to see the video that goes with the song

17. Ads Many people see a movie just to see a movie, so it’s all about showing them that ours is the best choice An epic, exciting ad, even if the movie is bad, will make people come You can show every good part of the movie within all the ads, and people will still think there is more (until we have their ticket money)
