Unit 4 LO1: TV Pilot ideas, research and proposal.


I formulated my initial ideas and collated them into a powerpoint, along with my research and excerpts from my proposal.  Included in the powerpoint is:
  • Genre Conventions of the type of TV show I wished to propose - in this case the conventions of television dating shows.
  • Research case studys or examples of existing dating shows, their formats, a video example of that show and information on how that show was received.
  • My initial idea information- working title, tagline, description, format.
  • Channel identity research- I produced a mindmap on ITV as it is the channel that is known for hosting the dating shows Blind Date and Take Me Out.
  • Primary Market Research- I created a survey using SurveyMonkey to find out  both quantative and qualitative information about my target audience such as demographics and their views on what does and doesn't make dating shows interesting.
  • Crew and Cast needed for the production.
  • Brief notes on locations that will be used in the filming of the production.
  • Brief notes on risk assessment.
  •  Equipment I will need to carry out this idea.
  • Budgeting
  • Potential revenue streams of the production

I also produced a few reams of paper associated with my ideas and research such as mind maps, diagrams of show layouts and storyboards.
