If I’m being honest the feedback for this pitch wasn’t very good. It’s not that I think our idea is bad at all, I just think that were weren’t very good a putting it across to the tutors.
There are lots of areas of the documentary that we haven’t got solid plans for at the moment, because a lot of depends on what kind of situation our presenter will get themselves into. We have talked a lot about where we think the story could end up going but the truth is that until we start production, we don’t really know where that is going to be. I don’t think we were clear in letting the tutors know that we are prepared for whatever happens and we understand the difficulties that we are going to face. Having said that, I do think it was completely fair for the tutors to bring it up as a point as it is something that we do have to be aware of.
The liked that we already had plans for a presenter, with our host pretty much guaranteed before the pitch. I think Hannah has done a great job finding the presenter, managing to find a you woman, with a background in technology journalism, which fits our documentary perfectly. Weirdly enough, if we hadn’t already had the presenter sorted out, then we wouldn’t have as many plans laid out as we did, so it was lucky that we had that sorted.
Overall, I guess they must have had some faith in us because the project was green lit without a second pitch. Even though we had trouble sometimes with putting across what we meant, I think they could see that we were all passionate enough about the project for it to work, as we were backing each other up when things didn’t look like they were going so well. I have faith in the group that we’ll manage to pull it all together and make a fantastic new documentary.
