Studio Production: Pitch Review

So today i made my pitch for my idea for the studio production unit. I was pleased with the information I'd put into it, and was confident that I covered all areas with enough info to make my idea clear and understandable.

I think my pitch went well and was given good feedback. My power point really helped me outline my ideas and the handout that i prepared helped me cover any information that i didn't in my pitch.

I was asked a few questions about my idea, concerning the name and set, and also about the presenters and puppeteers. My tutors seemed impressed with my idea which was great and liked the diversity of the subject. The only helpful criticism that I received was that I spoke too fast and rushed myself (which I know is what I do when Im nervous!). This is something I will be careful to change when I next present myself or my ideas in a pitch situation.

Overall, I was pleased with my idea and my pitch and look forward to hearing the results tomorrow!


Heres a copy of my hand out which I presented alongside my PP Presentation...

Welcome to My World

This is a new 20minute pilot Children's TV Programme that focuses on religion and culture within the UK. The set for this programme will consist of a basic studio child-friendly design.

The main attraction of this production would be the two presenters, Ideally, a female presenter to work alongside a puppet, which would be either a male animal or monster/muppet type character.

The programme would consist of VT's and guests (adults) from different religions and cultures talking about their lifestyle. It would contain VTs on location in either homes or religious places of interest to inform children about different cultures within our society.

Each episode would look at a different religion or culture and would base the whole episode to that one subject. The presenters would talk to any specific guests e.g. - an English shop owner, an African dressmaker, an Indian chef for example. The pilot episode would focus on a specific culture look at how the lives of children are different from other cultures, what is a 'normal' day in the life of that culture and interviews with an adult of that culture to talk about what they do.

The programme will focus on the way in which that certain culture affects children and look at their lives (VT). The target audience is pre-school/ primary school (years 1,2 &3) and Children with special needs.

The show will look at every day life, for example, food, clothes and lifestyles of every culture and also touch on any religious/ cultural celebrations.

'Welcome to My World' would air on children's channels for either early morning 6am-8am or after school times 3pm-5pm.
