You\u2019ve got an idea that you think might make a great short film, but what are the next steps? The June BFI Film Academy Lab was all about generating, developing and presenting your short film ideas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This masterclass was led by our resident script doctors, Theresa Boden and Gabriella Apicella. Theresa and Gabs chatted through the steps needed to develop your idea, including designing characters, deciding on story structure, theme and genre, and refining your tone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They explained the differences between a short film idea and a feature film idea. They also explained the process of making mood boards and pitch decks, and why they\u2019re so useful for filmmakers to develop ideas, establish a visual language, and attract funding for projects. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This event was part of the Storytelling strand of BFI Film Academy Labs 2021\/22.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"embed-fallback__wrapper embed-fallback-youtube\"><div class=\"embed-fallback__wrapper embed-fallback-youtube\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"BFI Film Academy Labs: From dream to reality: Bringing your short film ideas to life\" width=\"750\" height=\"422\" src=\"\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ynUFxn4aqDk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n  <div class=\"embed-fallback\">\n    <div class=\"embed-fallback__content\">\n      <h2 class=\"embed-fallback__title\">BFI Film Academy Labs: From dream to reality: Bringing your short film ideas to life<\/h2>\n      <p>This video is provided by YouTube who set their own cookies.
