This is my informal pitch for my factual TV programme 'The Other Me' that I will be shooting soon. The pitch covers different points that will be included within the documentary. Firstly, they asked me what channel I would like my programme to be aired on. For this I think out of the BBC and Chanel 4, it would be more suited and appropriate for Channel 4 as you would usually find factual TV programme that are similar to mine on there as a pose to a channel like the BBC. I was also asked what time I would air my documentary on Channel 4 and I thought of the afternoon time period because my target audience are more likely to view it during 4-7pm when children come back from school and adults come home from work. It is the best time because before it people would be busy at work or school and after it children will be going to bed, therefore I will lose half of my audience. The next question asked was at 2:35 'why did you choose this subject?', I have chosen twins because my youngest siblings are twins and my aim be the end of the documentary is to learn more about my brothers, their interaction/personality and how similar or different they really are? Not only this but for other peoples benefit, my target audience who I want to inform about the topic. The way I will form the documentary will be quite objective rather than subjective, this is because I want other people's opinions on the twins in my documentary and also I don't think that my opinion will necessarily change or influence the topic any more. At 3:26 I was asked 'what are your opinions on twins?' I think twins are quite special people especially their time in the womb when the embryo splits into two and forms two individuals, with sometimes identical features. Again, I was asked whether I thought twins act different to everyone else who isn't a twin, well I think that is what makes them amazing people, the fact that they can have intertwined lives means that they think and act differently, knowing they have another them. Melesha then asked me whether I will be conducting any experiments, and for the main part of the advert I will be, because this is what will allow me to understand them better. For this I will research into the different experiments and tests you can do with a pair of twins to test for different things, for example whether they know each other like the back of their hands, what interests they both have and whether they are the same or different. Also, the common stereotype with twins is that they have telepathy or can think exactly the same, therefore to find this out I will interview a doctor or the biology teacher in order to understand the science behind twins.
I was then asked about the locations I am going to film in, these are the primary school where my brothers are, in school, the clinic and at home. For the primary school I have already gotten permission to film, I now need permission from the local clinic. Also, the reason why I have decided to film in a primary school is because my twin brothers go there and they're split into two classes, so i'll be interviewing their teachers to get information about the way they both are in each class and their behaviour in an academic environment also whether this changes when they're at home. Mercedes then asked whether I thought the idea of splitting twins was a good one or not, I think that twins are a unit and splitting them is like tearing them apart because their lives are intertwined and always will be, therefore I will have to research into the different ways twins lives are joint. Then I was asked about the different twins which are going to be in my documentary and for this I have already gotten 4 sets of twins 2 of which are boys and the other 2 are girls and all range in ages. The next question was how I will end my documentary, I thought of having a round up and summary of all the facts and issues discussed in the documentary and what I have taken away from it all. Then Habon asked me why I have decided to make my age range in my target audience 6-45 year olds, this is because anyone lower than 6 isn't going to understand the documentary anyway and people older than 45 will or may not have that much of an interest in the topic. Melesha asked me about the music/sound of my documentary, this is going to range depending on scene, for instance during an interview I would have slow calm music, to allow the audience to process the information and during an experiment I will have fast cheerful music to symbolize the enjoyment of it all. In terms of sounds I won't add any sounds, and keep it non-diegetic because it is the realistic element which makes everything within in believable.
