Unit 21 - Plan and Deliver A Pitch for a Media Product

  LO3 - Be able to pitch ideas on a proposed media product and respond to questions. When creating my pitch for my soap opera for the BBC, I created an original idea for the soap opera ' No Body No Crime' - aimed at 15-24 year olds in order to meet the considerations of the client brief. Within the creation of my soap opera in the future, there are aspects of the client brief and client considerations that will help the creation of the soap opera.

  LO3 - Be able to pitch ideas on a proposed media product and respond to questions. After viewing my pitch video, I received an email from the client with the following questions: 1. How will other story lines ensure that the target audience continues to watch the soap opera? 2. Only one parental figure is mentioned - what are your plans for other parents or guardians? 3. What about Evermore itself? What does it look like and what are your inspirations? Responding to Feedback from Questions 1.

This will make sure that the target audience remain interested within the soap opera and do not lose interest after the original planned storyline. By ensuring that the storylines that continue wi...

Added Pitch Slides Added Script Sections My product fits the product brief as it suits the target audience of ages 15-24 year old by focusing on topics that research shows is more popular within a younger target audience such as cheating, love triangles and murder.

As a response to the client brief recently put out regarding a new soap opera for the BBC, we would like to propose an idea for a new soap opera called ‘No Body No Crime’.    During the initial idea process we went through blue-sky thinking and more detailed mind maps to discover what ideas would fit the brief the best and how best to develop these.
