Pitch Week

You will pitch your ideas for your production during the week beginning 2nd September.

Pitch your ideas for your production and accompanying print artefacts.

Present examples of rushes or generation of ideas.

Make it as interactive as possible

This will involve a recorded presentation.

Your audience will be asking questions as they will be representing the institutions who will commission your production.

For example, if you are making a documentary commissioners may be representing the BBC, Channel 4 and Channel 5.  Each of these will have a different target audience. You need to explain how your production targets an audience.

• Mind map of your ideas 
• Research into influence of exisiting media products (Where did you get your ideas from?)
• Storyboards
• Working Title
• Genre
• Style
• Target audience

You will embed this pitch into your blog and will be marked on your presentation skills

What we call 'softer skills' are vital in the job market and highly prized by employers.
