on The Pitch Presentation
on Having missed out on the last consultation to deal with some last minute Media 6 dramas, I caught up with those who attended and conceived an idea for the format of our final presentation. We decided to use this opportunity to portray a professional production pitch, selling our package complete with casting details, location information, details of script development, table read-throughs etc.
Not only does this provide us a frame for presentation, it allows us to take an enthusiastic or rather aggressive marketing stance on selling the Absentia series. This means that instead of running around attempting to create a feasible media product (as the other groups I believe are doing) and filming crumbs of a series, we will be producing content that would be provided to potential investors in a real pitch.
In preparation for this, the group has begun to formalise a fantasy cast through StarNow. Here are some of the main characters in my episode, Cross.
Hitch AKA Ben Hitchener
Thanassis Dimitropoulos
Bernadeth Dimitropoulos-Hitchener
Manuel Dimitropoulos
The group also plans on creating inspiration boards for the episode settings, a filmed table read and potentially, opening sequences for our chosen marketing strategy (TBA).
Presenting the Melbourne anthology
on Last Thursday, PB & J Productions presented the anthology concept to the rest of Writing for Filming, Filming for Writing. The group members had the opportunity to share their characters and episodic plot lines. Here are some of the visuals that inspire Thanassis’ environment in the western suburbs of Melbourne;
Thanassis’ character is inspired by Manolis from Christos Tsiolkas’ The Slap.
