 Self Evaluation

On a scale of 1-10 i would give my self a 7 on this pitch.  Throughout my practice pitch I was confident and did not stumble that much but overall my pitch was two long and i think would of made the client loose interest and become bored.  The pitch as well was unfinished which is unprofessional and the storyline was detailed but lasted at least 5 minutes to describe and needed a more organised episode structure.  As improvement I have changed the story explanation into a structure of episodes that will make the story easier to be explained. 

Additional Potential Questions

Here are some additional questions that I think could have been asked in my Pitch.

How would my series fit with BBC 3's Target audience (16-21)?  

My Series is targeted at the same audience (16-21) but i will need to ensure that I make it appealing to them as for example the majority of BBC 3's audience enjoy comedy the most but the third biggest majority like dramas and so my series will fit with a big percentage.  Also the fact that the two main protagonists in this show are 17 will make the show more appealing to the audience as the majority of BBC3's audience is 17 and so the audience will be able to connect with the characters more.

How would my series set in the 40s be inclusive to a diverse cast even though this is a time of mass oppression and discrimination?

Well at the time when this series is set Britain and especially the north was an are area of mass inclusivity and immigration.  Bradford a city near the town the series is set was known as little Germany because of the immigration of many german immigrants at the time.  During the war an African American soldier described the British as treating him Royally and the UK's Ethnic minorities was growing in population at the time.

Questions in the Video

In the Proposal it says a member of any ethnicity can apply for any role but would it actually be acceptable for an ethnic minority to be a nazi?  Of course we will be realistic with the nazis and other characters but overall the characters where there wont be historical inaccuracies we will be inclusive to all races and ethnicities.  

How will you avoid offending anyone of any ethnic Minority by the fact there are nazis in your show that discriminate against anyone that isn't White?  Now of course any series or film with the Nazis in it will be disturbing and offensive to anyone watching as they where truly awful people but my series ensures that the audience knows that these people where the bad guys and show what they did was wrong.

In film there are many great examples of war films for example Dunkirk, how is your series different to any other series based in the war?  Now of course there are loads of great WW2 films and series' but overall what makes my series different is the fact that my series has protagonists aged 17 which is quite uncommon and the show is set in a remote area in the UK not somewhere abroad in Europe.
