Pitch Document


Title
'Watch This Space'


Logline


'Have you ever not felt welcome in a space? On the bus? At a party? In your office? This programmes explores the social constructs which dictate the lives of women of colour and keep them out of big and small spaces.




Genre
Lifestyle Documentary




Unique Selling Point
My unique selling point is the characters themselves, I am limiting my characters to about 4-5 girls in order to ensure their unique narratives are communicated. The diversity at the core of the programme is the main attraction, specifically as it's not something often replicated in Channel 5 documentaries - something the commissioning editor is looking for.


Convergence
The similarities I want to show over my cross-media production are the emphasis on the individual, specifically the importance of communicating one's narrative. I am interested in basing my magazine off the popular magazine 'Grazia' because the magazine is interested in both celebrity lifestyle as well as featuring real-life stories.

aims and intensions

Aims and Intensions 'Watch This Space' is a show detailing and exploring progressive ideology and the elimination of negative stereotypes. Although, my show's goal is to break down ideas probably ingrained in the mind-set of older viewers, the target audience for my documentary will be a millennial audience who are interested in starting questions over perhaps controversial topics, thus the audience would probably be aspiring towards a level of high education which will ultimately result in them having some form of influence in society, therefore the socio-economic group that would probably engage with my programme would be B1.

'Watch This Space' is a lifestyle documentary. The beginning will ...

Double Page Spread Brief summary - 1 of the interviewees Example article. This article has about 600 words and my double page spread will feature less text and be more focused on image, as after looking at example articles of Grazia I can tell they do appreciate and incorporate lots of related images in order to communicate their desired message clearly.

Aims and Intensions

Aims and intensions I am aiming to produce a documentary which fulfils the requirements and asks of the WJEC spectrum. I want my documentary to feel fresh and new from the very beginning in order to communicate a clear message poised on individuality and uniqueness. I am interested in producing a documentary about what it means to be a women and a minority in 21st century Britain, thus I think I will need to incorporate new methods of filming instead of old documentary style to ensure the message of diversity and appreciation of oneself is communicated clearly.  I am also hoping to bring a new tone to documentaries on Channel 5. Generally, Channel 5 produces quite mundane documentaries such a 'Big Week at the Zoo', that in my opinion are actually quite boring, and I can see why Claire Westacott, the commissioning director for factual pieces, is after something that instantly captures a viewers attention and explores ideas that reach out of day to day living.
