Documentary: Pitch Perfect

Concept, Contributors, Story
Will you watch it? Well, if you won't, the people you're pitching to won't buy into it... Know who you are pitching to. Know your "tone" as well as the demographic you are targeting. Know your story.

In this intensive workshop, you are guided through a series of target points: concept, contributors, story. We go through a tried and tested structure that hits these target points. You investigate what makes for a good story and the Broadcaster commissioning 'Strands' or 'Seasons' - You look at the hook of a good story and what might grab your audience. We'll think about marketing to sell your idea; locations and budgets, too.

The Three P's - Prepare, Practice, Pitch
Once you've prepared what you're going to say, you get to practice the pitch. It's essential that you have a structured speech that will allow you to get out everything about your idea that you need to in a reasonable amount of time. By practising, you'll also be able to identify those areas where your pitch drags, gets confusing, or simply fails to sufficiently sell your story. At the end of this course, you get feedback to your ideas and advice specific to your pitch.
