P5


Overall I was very happy in the outcome of my proposed pitch about a relevant UK TV show. The overall appearance was very professional and all the mandatory and crucial aspects were covered.

The first thing that was mentioned was the impact of social media on a specific TV show of this nature. It is a common thing nowadays for all the actors that feature in the production to have their own social media pages and a very strong fan base or following. It is also common for the show to be boosted positively or negatively based on social media and the public perspective of the show. The more positive the show is on social media the more overall viewers and ratings the show will have. This was mentioned in addition to some other statistics about social media stating that the show needed some sort of social media background and account to get the following that is needed.

Another thing that was discussed is that the car chase scene takes place through a fake market scene. The first point would be whether it was actually possible to shoot the scene in the market and on he streets of the town itself. Also would the budget stretch to such scene as the car purchase will cost a lot and the scene itself will cost a lot to film and make happen. This would all have to be considered in the budget beforehand and all measures will have to have taken place to ensure that the production team can shoot in the location.

I am very pleased with the main title and the whole title sequence itself. The background is entirely black with the text appearing out of the shadows which ties in with the name and title itself. The only thing noted was that the text could have been a bit brighter and that the slides became mixed up in the pitch where the notes where read out before the notes slide came on. The overall logo looks very professional and I am very pleased with the font and colour choice as it all resembles the right theme and ties in with the rest of the show.

The production schedule was said to be very thorough and precise. The only changes would be that the all actors were being used every day which obviously will put a lot of stress on them and they will become exhausted very quickly. The solution to this was to shoot certain scenes on certain days that required less of the actors compared to all of them for every scene. This way the scenes can be cut at the end to make it seem like they flow within the production.

I was very pleased with the soundtrack choice and the music that was going to be composed specifically for the show. The decision was to release an exclusive soundtrack at the end of all the production and release to showoff some of the incredible work and music. It is very popular today to have a soundtrack of a show or movie with many people opting to buy soundtracks so that they can have the music from the show. This means that it was a very good decision in trying to extend the life cycle of the show and keep people interested even after the last episode has aired.

I was also very happy with the posters that are going to be released for the show. They all closely resemble the overall theme and nature of the show and all look professional and are simple yet very effective. In 2017 people do not want to read alot on a poster, they want to have a glance and get all the information that they can about that show. The only thing to change would be the text on the first in that it doesn't have the typical shadow that the main title does which would help to tie it in with the main show when people are having a glance at the poster.
