What is the ScriptShark Market Pro?
The Market Pro is designed to help you analyze and market your screenplay, book, or story effectively. The Market Pro goes beyond notes - it helps define the 'hidden elements' producers and representatives take into account when reading for film and television. Additionally, it delivers strategic advice on the type of companies and artists you should consider as you send the material out. And like our coverage service, your material becomes eligible for ScriptShark's scouting services.
Who provides analysis for The Market Pro?
Market Pro Analysts have top-of-the-line development and production professional experience. This provides you with a unique perspective on how the industry will quantify the assets of your material. Developed to provide some of the same analyses entertainment professionals access daily, The Market Pro gives you that extra edge when promoting and submitting your story. Put the power of the Baseline Studio Systems databases in your hands. An expert at analyzing this information will be your guide.
What is the Market Pro designed to do?
Once you've finished writing, it's up to you to figure out the marketability of your material and which companies to send it to. Maybe you'll query everyone in the phone book, or post your material in the Spec Market. Whatever the case, take advantage of the most advanced strategic tool available to writers. This analysis will help you shape your approach to mass queries, re-think future drafts, and pitch the script to industry insiders.
How can the Market Pro help me 'Package my material?'
Have you heard the phrase, "This script needs to be packaged?" In today's climate, with so many spec sales depending on talent attachments, one of the keys to marketing your material is figuring out who can help bring your project to life. The Market Pro's extensive talent lists will not only give you an edge when pitching your project, but they will help define agencies and talent-based production companies to query when shopping your material.
Is this the same information the professionals use?
The MarketPro combines the data of BaselineFT and the knowledge of an industry professional. Accessing the best development information in the industry, the analysis will allow you to see how your material stacks up in the current film market..
Will my material be eligible for the Spec Market?
As with all materials submitted to ScriptShark, you will always have the option to post your screenplay in The Spec Market on BaselineFT. More importantly, however, the Market Pro Analyst will also judge your screenplay on execution, making it a potential candidate for ScriptShark's famous scouting services, as well.
Will this help in the submission process?
The ScriptShark Market Pro will analyze your material and provide you the twenty most effective targets in the query submission process. These targets range from Production Companies to Agents and Managers and will provide you with fax numbers for each so you can send in your query. The MarketPro also gives you strategies on how to approach potential Buyers with the material – phrases, reference films, and past successes to make your material more attractive.
Is the Market Pro for screenplays only?
The MarketPro is certainly well-suited for screenplays, but is also an excellent tool to use during the Treatment stage. There is no better time than when you are developing story and characters to examine how the concept fits into the selling market.
