A Casual State of Mind - Pitch to My Peers
How I think my pitch went.
Overall I thought that the delivery of my pitch was good and i spoke with a clear and load voice. However, there is definitely some areas that I can improve on. One area of my presentation delivery that I was happy with was my constant addressing of the group and not just looking down reading from a screen. This helps to make my presentation feel more engaging and interesting.
An aspect of my presentation delivery that I think it is very important to change is my body language. I am very obviously way too casual by sitting on the desk with my feet up on the chair. I need to be more formal and aim to maintain better and more professional body language when delivering my pitch to the moderator. However I think that my casual and more laid back body language was down to being in my classroom environment with my friends. This would be
completely different if I was presenting to an actual BBC representative in a formal environment. I know that if I maintain this poor body language I would not be taken seriously and my idea and creative thinking would not be considered for production.
The Questions I Was Asked
What is the aim of what you are trying to show to the audience?
My aim is that of surveillance, it allows the higher class audience see how the working class live and it also allows people to see what it is like to be a football hooligan and experience the violence through the series.
What is your USP?
The USP for my program is that football hooliganism has only ever been expressed in a film format so the unique part of my idea is the TV/series style with episodes and more depth.
How would you deal with budgeting when involving football games?
After doing research into other films of this nature they very rarely show the game and just show the before and after shots of the game. so permissions and filming payments don't need to be done.
Will the time frame have an impact on your budget?
The time frame may have an impact on the shows budget because of the background set, props, costume design/research and removal of modern things in post. this means that the budget will have to be lowered on other sections of the show, this has been done with the casting being younger actors so pay is not required to be as high. Most of the scenes are also filmed in the street and natural settings so a large set doesn't need to be made and finally this show will have next to no SFX which means the cost for post production will be less.
Will there be an issue with using official names like Leeds United in your program?
Yes. There will be an issue with the use of official team names and merchandise however, my way around this issue would be the use of a fictional club name for example Leeds United being the official name i could use Leeds City Football Club.
Do you think that, because this isn't as much as an issue now, that people will be able to relate to the characters?
No, I think that although the audience will not be able to relate to the characters involvement in football violence they will however be of the same age and likely gender so the will experience some of the same issues that the characters will face in there lives.
Do you think there is a problem with female representation in this show?
Yes partially i do, however the target audience for my film is primarily male that is who i am trying to represent. If I was to create a media piece to accommodate to every target audience and represent everyone then the story would suffer and the show wouldn't be as good.
Do you think it could cause back lash because of the transgressive subject?
No, there is hundreds of shows/ films based around transgressive subjects that receive no back lash many revolving around more serious or relevant issues than this one as football violence has somewhat died out.
