The Pitch!

When Simon first told us that for our lecture first thing on Monday morning we would have to watch a couple of episodes of the television show 'SPACED' I thought to myself 'not a bad task for a uni student. especially on a Monday!' So we sat down and watched 2 episodes, the very first one and the 5th from season 2. Both very good we were then set the task by Simon of coming up with a pitch for this programme. Never having done a pitch before myself I was slightly intimidated when thinking that i now had to plug the idea for this funny,quirky, comedy drama in 25 words or less! But luckily Simon gave us a little lee- way and aloud us up to 26, which for me was a life saver! After several attempts of writing this pitch out and all but a few ending up being over 30 words i finally wrote one I liked and thought captured the main parts of the show that needed to be brought to the attention of whoever I was trying to sell it to, and so here is my final draft for my version of a pitch for SPACED...
"Comedy drama about a twenty something couple sharing a flat. Relateable, funny, dysfunctional, this pair with their quirky friends do more then just share a flat!"


We were then set the task of making up a pitch for our favorite television programme. I found this a lot harder then the pitch I made for SPACED because the programme I had chosen was a big American young persons drama and so making up a pitch that doesn't make the show I've chosen seem like all the others that are like that in America was very hard. You aren't aloud to use the big names that are in the show, since if it was a real pitch you wouldnt know if you would be able to get these people. So i thought hard about what sticks out for this show and came up with this...
"a young persons American TV drama, revolving around the lives of a group of teenagers. Love, hate, relationships, trust and rivalry, from their teens to twenties."
See if you can guess it!
