Documentary Pitching

Elevator Pitch

00:00 / 03:48

The elevator pitch went well, I clearly explained two ideas for my portrait documentary and now have an idea of which one to pursue. The idea I have chosen to create is a documentary about my uncle and his music career.

Evaluation

Overall I think the documentary pitch went really well. I spent a lot of time and research preparing for this pitch to make sure everything was accurate and I had everything I needed. I also made my slideshow match the topic and theme of my portrait documentary.  The presentation of my pitch was also good, I explained my idea clearly, answered the questions asked and spoke confidently
If I had to present another pitch I don't think I would change much, however I did forget to put in a slide for the psychographics and socioeconomics for my audience. If I had added this into my slideshow I would've been able to explain my target audience in more detail.


Getting to research and watch different portrait documentaries definitely helped me with the creation of my portrait documentary. The first part of research I did was watching and analysing some documentaries which were quite boring, although I didn't enjoy watching them it taught me the layout of a documentary.
Creating mood boards was also very helpful for me to visualise what I would like. It helped me know what colour schemes I would use, ideas for B-roll footage and interview set-up.
