Documentary Pitch
On April 12th, as a group, we pitched our documentary to Beth Turrell and as a result, received feedback to help us move forward with our documentary. We worked collaboratively on the pitch and the presentation of it. When pitching, we had to think of it as a chance to sell our story.
The feedback we received is as followed (Turrell, 2021):
The concept and title of the documentary are good.
Ensure that there is balance within the documentary. To achieve this, try to think about those who are not in favour of protesting and/or those who are indifferent/don't mind the Police, Crime, Sentencing, and Courts Bill (Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill:Second Reading, 2021). By gaining differing views, it enables people to understand the other side of the argument.
Ask contributors and find out why protesting matters to differing organisations.
Look at news articles. In response to this, we also thought that we could look at social media posts that people have made, using their statements within the documentary.
Remember that emotional connection is important, so maybe decrease the amount of contributors.
Gain permission for footage you're going to be using and write thanks to in the credits. For the footage gathered that isn't ours, we will ensure that we ask for permission.
Simpler language needs to be used for a pitch and there needs to be more on contributor profiles.
Think about how it can relate to younger people (e.g. camera phone footage, immersiveness etc.).
When moving forward, we will take this feedback into account and will try our best to respond to it.
