There is no one-size-fits-all template that covers all situations. Proposal Kit templates can be customized as needed to fit any situation using the extensive chapter template library. Here are some key chapters typically included in this type of template. Use this template as your starting point and customize it as needed using the software included with each Proposal Pack or the Professional bundle.
The Cover Letter serves as the opening of your proposal, introducing your project to potential investors or sponsors. It should briefly explain the purpose of the proposal and why funding is being sought for your short film, setting the tone for the rest of the document.
The Introduction chapter provides an overview of your short film project. It's important to capture the reader's interest by summarizing the film's concept and significance, and why it stands out from other projects.
In the Synopsis chapter, you offer a concise summary of your short film's storyline. This includes the main plot points and key elements that will engage potential backers by giving them a clear understanding of the film's content.
The Production Plan outlines how you intend to bring the short film to life. This includes details on the stages of production, timelines, and key milestones, ensuring that investors see a structured and feasible plan.
The Promotion chapter details your marketing and promotional strategies. Describe how you will attract audiences to your short film, including any planned advertising, social media campaigns, or public relations efforts.
In the Staffing chapter, you list the key personnel involved in the production. Mention their roles, qualifications, and experience, demonstrating that your team has the expertise to complete the project successfully.
The Treatment chapter gives a detailed narrative of the film, including character development and major scenes. It's more in-depth than the synopsis and provides potential funders with a deeper insight into the story.
The Production Schedule provides a detailed timeline of the production process from pre-production to post-production. It includes specific dates and deadlines to show that the project is well-planned and time-bound.
The Plot Outline chapter breaks down the story into its main events and sequences. It offers a structured view of the plot, helping potential funders understand the progression of the film's narrative.
The Samples chapter includes any sample scenes, dialogues, or visual references that can give funders a taste of the film's style and tone. This helps to visualize the end product.
In the Resources chapter, detail the tools, equipment, and facilities needed to produce the short film. This demonstrates that you have considered all necessary elements for production.
The Artists Statement is where the director or lead creative explains their vision for the film. This personal touch helps funders connect with the artistic intent of the project.
The Sources of Funds chapter lists other financial contributions or support you have already secured. It reassures potential investors that the project has backing and reduces their perceived risk.
In the Funding Request chapter, specify the amount of money you need and how it will be used. Be clear and precise about your financial needs and how the funds will be allocated to different aspects of production.
The Budget chapter provides a detailed breakdown of all costs associated with the production. This should include everything from equipment rentals to post-production costs, showing that you have a clear financial plan.
The Project Summary offers a brief recap of the entire proposal, highlighting key points about the film, the production plan, and the funding request. It's a quick reference for potential funders who want an overview.
In the About Us chapter, provide background information on your production company or team. Highlight past projects and achievements to build credibility and trust with potential funders.
The Resume chapter includes resumes of key team members, showcasing their experience and qualifications. This adds another layer of assurance that your team is capable of executing the project.
The Distribution chapter outlines your plan for getting the short film to audiences. Detail strategies for festival submissions, digital distribution, or partnerships with distributors to show how the film will reach viewers.
In the Talent chapter, list the actors and any notable figures involved in the production. Highlight their previous work to emphasize the quality and appeal of your cast.
