ITV put on short films and do Drama films, Entertainment and comedy. But ITV don't make allot of Short Dramas, because ITV doesn't get a big audience with Short Dramas and advertisers will not want to show the adverts to such a short audience. "We are looking for ideas of all shapes and sizes". ITV said this on their website

http://www.itv.com/commissioning/drama

they even make a big title saying, "What we're looking for" They put this on their website so people and media producers can look on their website and see the title "What we're looking for". Then they will read it and help ITV. But first they put on "What we are" They  how they make Big dramas such as 'Downton Abbey'.

Secondary Content Research: Internet

This page up above is on a website called, 'E-safety Support'. It is about how a big number of children have experienced bullying in a way and how teachers invited to tackle bullying through film. On this page it says, "Anti-Bullying Week 2014 (November 17-22) Into Film, an education charity supported by the BFI with Lottery funding," This means this page was made around or in the anti-bullying week in 2014 and it is supported by the BFI. The BFI is a charity governed by a Royal Charter. It allows you to access magazines and videos that people have made. So this is good for them that the BFI are supporting them.

Script

A boy is sitting on the floor, on his own and eating his lunch. While he is in the middle of eating his lunch 4 bullies walk up to him, but the boy doesn't notice. Once they get there they throw a stick at him to get his attention. The boy then flinches and looks at them sadly while the bullies laugh. One of the bullies gets closer to the boy and throws drugs on the floor next to him. The bully raises his fist and says, “Have them”. The boy then says, “What, but...”. The bully interrupts him and shouts, “NOW!” The Boy gets scared, then picks the drugs up and stands up. From the corner of his eye he can see a teacher through the window turned the other side of them.

What will the boy do?

Constraints

Resources - The resources that I will need to take is,

• A Camera
• A Stand (for the camera)
• Microphone
• Laptop (just in case for sound testing)
• Scripts of actors speeches
• Bottle of water
• Food (if needed)
• Costumes (if specific actors need them)

Copyright - If I wanted to add in some music or a song in the background while the short film is playing, I need to make sure I don't copyright the tracks completely without any permission. To make sure I don't face copyright issues, I can either change the music quality in the track, so It sounds different. I can pay for using the track, but then say or put in at the start or end of the short film that these tracks are not owned by me, or I can make up my own tracks.

Analysing and Evaluating Extended Answers

Irrespective of the independent nature of each question, evaluation of the feedback must include:

• Direct reference: Go and direct quotes from the interviewee's responses, get the evidence from their own phrases and words;

• Discrete analysis: A methodical breaking down of the responses, offering the clear explanation of the insights they bring and give;

• Conclusions: A decision or judgement should only be reached by the filmmaker by reasoning through the responses.

• Action Statement: In view of the conclusion how the finding will impact on the creative process. It is better to pay attention to the second response, since it fits in with the job of good drama to make the stakes high.
