A2 advanced production Documentary Pitch Presentation

1. Pitch Presentation - Choices
Lauren, Emmanuel & Tacia

2. Brief
• Our task was to produce a five minute
documentary with a topic of our choice. Our
documentary should contain interviews,
cutaways and footage. We were also asked to
make a radio advert and a print advert.

3. Type Of Documentary
• We believe that our documentary is a Reality
TV programme. We believe this because there
will be facts and opinions in our documentary.

4. Introduction
• We will firstly introduce our idea with two
presenters explaining our reasons behind
doing a programme about sixth form.
• We will then show a short clip showing a sixth
form classroom. The presenters will still be
talking via a voice over.

5. Storyline
• We shall do a documentary about the decisions students in
year 11 have to make. This will be shown through interviews,
and we will see how different people react to sixth form and
college.
• If we would film for a whole hour then we would interview
students in year 11, 12 and 13, past sixth form students who
went on to university or work, teachers who work close with
the sixth form students, students who attend college and
teachers at college.

6. Sound
This sound is called ‘Battle’ it is going to be used to attract the
audience when the presenters are introducing the
programme. It will attract the audience, however not taking
the focus off the presenters.

7. Sound
This sound is called ‘Be There or Be Square’ it is going to be
used as background music whilst the interview is being done.
It will be on a low volume so not to take away the focus from
the interviewee and interviewer.

8. Sound
This sound is called ‘Funk Master’ it will be used similarly to
the introduction, however it will be used at the end of the
documentary just before an advert break. It will be the last
sound the audience hear.

9. Viability
• Our programme will be viable as there are no
other similar programmes about at this
moment in time.
• Students should want to watch this
programme as it may help them in making
their own decisions.

10. Production Schedule (part 1)
• The first part of the production schedule shows the
programme name, the intended audience and the writers.
It also shows when the coursework, script, storyboard,
pitch presentation, audience screening, filming, interview,
editing and evaluation was started and finished.

11. Production Schedule (part 2)
• The second part of the production schedule shows, again, the programme
name, intended audience and writers. The production schedule also
shows; crewing requirements, production equipment required, actors,
props and post production requirements.

12. Storyboard
• We created a
storyboard to show
different scenes that
we would like to
have in our
documentary.

13. Script
• This is our script.
This shows us
what we would
like the
presenters and
interviewer to
say and ask the
people we
interview.

14. Unique Selling Point
• After looking for similar products and noticing
that there are only a couple of products that
are similar to our idea, we realized that our
Unique Selling Point (USP) is that there aren’t
many products like this and that we should get
viewers because of this.

15. Actors
• We will not have any ‘actors’ as such, but we
will have two presenters and one interviewer.
One of the presenters may be the interviewer.
• The presenters will be scripted, and so will the
questions the interviewer asks, the responses
from the interviewee will not be scripted.

16. Locations, Props and Costumes
• The location of our documentary will be at Lea
Valley High School in Enfield, North London.
• The props we will be using is a camera, tripod,
tape and computers to edit (iMovie)
• The costumes that will be used is the sixth
form dress code, smart.

17. Locations (pictures + explanation)
• The location will be
at Lea Valley High
School, in one or two
classrooms to
complete the
interviews.
