Planning and Preparing a Pitch (U21: P3, M2)


Learning Outcome 1 - Be able to create a proposal and pitch for an original media product based on a given brief


Original Video for pitch








Original Powerpoint for pitch

Updated amendments based on feedback

This is how my powerpoint looked initially before I edited it based on the feedback I was given at my practice pitch.








After reflecting on comments made by my critics saying that my powerpoint was "boring" I decided to change the theme of the powerpoint to make it more interesting to look at. I decided to go for a black and bright blue theme. I feel the black reflects the North London Hip Hop scene being in the dark and I feel the bright blue is reminiscent of the vibrant music scene that we have in North London.





Initially, I hadn't included a slide on my original powerpoint addressing the fonts I was planning on using. In this slide, I'm showing the font that I used for the logo/front cover of my magazine. I also included reasons as to why I chose these fonts.









Upon criticism of how I priced my magazine in my first powerpoint presentation, I decided to increase the price of both the physical and online copy of the magazine by 50p.










Updated Presentation


Potential Client Questions

 1. Why have you priced your magazine at 3 pounds for a physical copy and 2.50 online?
I have done this in order to give my magazine a USP of being environmentally friendly by encouraging people to buy the electronic copy through pricing strategy.
2. Why did you choose this genre?
The reason I chose this genre is due to there being an existing and growing Hip Hop scene in North London meaning there is lots of content to cover.
3. Do you plan on celebrating any female hip-hop artists?
I plan on celebrating artists solely on how talented and popular they are with no prejudice against either gender.
4. Do you want to break the stigma of Hip-Hop?
I want Hip Hop's stigma to be broken and also to normalise it in North London by giving insight into what goes on.
5. Is there enough content in North London to create a monthly magazine?
There is more than enough content to have new topics to talk about every month without the magazine becoming repetitive and boring. This is due to North London Hip Hop being an existing and growing scene.
6. Why that colour scheme?
I feel that these colours best represent the Hip Hop genre. The yellow represents the gold and aspirational dressing common in Hip Hop. The green reminds me of graffiti paint which is common in urban North London. Black and Grey will be used primarily for my text.
7. Is there going to be a QR code?
No, because I have included the magazine's Instagram page on the front cover. This will be how readers will interact with the magazine online.

Pitch Your Ideas (U21: P4, M3)

Image
Learning Objective: Be able to pitch ideas on a proposed media product and respond to questions This is my final pitch that I presented to a client :   - Worries that having only 600 physical copies will make it an online magazine From this piece of feedback, I understand that I need to expand the number of physical copies so that I cover both mediums. It is important to ensure that there are enough print copies as this is what the client has specified, as well as keeping an online presence. - Criticism towards the magazine being sold in corner shops I understand that selling my physical magazine exclusively in corner shops may be considered slightly strange, but I feel this gives the magazine a USP and will integrate well into peoples lives considering all people use corner shops in North London. - Criticism towards the font for "Magazine" I understand that my critic was not best pleased with my choice of font for the word "magazine" so I have de...

Meeting The Client Brief (U3: P5, M4, D1)

Image
Learning Outcome (U3):  be able to carry out post-production techniques and processes for an original media product to a client brief I made sure to export both sample pages as JPEG images so that it met with the client requirements.  Magnetic Lasso To cut out the main images of my magazine, I used the magnetic lasso tool, which let me cut around the images that I wanted to use. An example of me using this is on my double page spread, I cut out the picture of my model to put in front of my background. This is the original image that I took during my photoshoot that I decided to use for my double page spread. I used the magnetic lasso to cut around this image and put it onto of my double page spread background. This is relevant to the client brief because the photo is of a North London hip hop artist. The photo was also taken in North London by me which makes it original content. I also used this tool so that I could create a background which had more relevance to...

Responding to feedback (D1)

Learning Objective: Be able to pitch ideas on a proposed media product and respond to questions I received six pieces of feedback from my final pitch. In the report below, I have discussed what wasn't useful and what will help me to develop my production. Worries that having only 600 physical copies will make it an online magazine Upon hearing this opinion, I was in agreement, as my plans were to have one retailer in each North London area which would result in them being so rare that the chance of getting any exposure would be greatly reduced. On reflection, I would be willing to increase the number of physical copies to 1500 so that the magazine would be more accessible to people all over North London, and each corner shop stocking the magazine would have more units. This piece of feedback was useful and therefore, I will be using it to help develop my production. Criticism towards the magazine being sold in corner shops The reason I wanted to sell my magazine in the cor...
