P3: Create a pitch to communicate an idea to the client
THE SNAPCHAT STALKER – WRITTEN BY OMNIYA TAJNI
I have created a Prezi power point; I will be using this to pitch to my panel. I have created some notes that I will be memorising in order to give the panel more information about my script. You can find my presentation pitch: 
https://prezi.com/p/w8eajwy2nwsr/

Slide 1: What my script is about
My script is called ‘the snapchat stalker’ it is about a girl that is receiving loads of messages and snaps by someone who she think is her ex-boyfriend, constantly following her and seeing everything she does. The reason why she thinks that it could be him is because the whole reason as to why she left him was due to this behaviour, like she didn’t have freedom as he knew her every move.

Slide 2: Inspiration
My story is inspired by 2 different urban legend stories: ‘the babysitter & the man upstairs’ & ‘the clown statue’. The babysitter and the man upstairs is about a babysitter that is constantly getting calls from a strange man, asking her if she checked up on the kids & she thinks that it’s the father of the children until she notices that it actually isn’t. So she calls the police and they manage to trace the call and the call was coming from one of the rooms in the house. The clown story is about a clown statue just standing staring at a babysitter. I chose to merge these two together because I wanted the snap chat location update and after watching pretty little liars, I am really interested in mystery themes. Due to the whole new snap chat location update, I thought it would be really interesting to add it to my urban legend because it’s really dangerous, and it could affect many vulnerable individuals, so it will be creating awareness as well as fitting in to the urban genre theme

Slide 3: Script to Screen
I believe that I have achieved the conventions of the urban genre & responded to the requirements suggested in the client brief. I am certain that due to this being an East London Film Festival, I have achieved this by including different locations of East London in my script, I have featured actors that are living in East London & the script itself has been written in East London.

Slide 4: Audience Research
I decided to carry out a survey online about the topic of my script. Here I have the results of the 4 questions I have asked them. As you can see in question 3 more than 80% of these individuals say that they dislike the snapchat location feature and just over 50% of them say the reason for this is because of the risk of stalkers. So not only is my script fitting into the urban genre but also to create awareness that people feel uncomfortable using this feature.

Slide 5: Budget
If my script was to be picked, I would need to produce this without small costs, because when it comes to filming there are some decisions that are needed to be made. Therefore, I would need to request a budget of £580. After researching, I have found that:
I will need to use the equipment for about 4 days so that will add up to £300.
To get a public filming license I will need an amount of £150.
Once finished filming, my crew and I will need editing facilities, which will cost £130.

Omniya Tajni M2: Identify potential client questions and amend pitch and proposal  documentation Before going off to pitch my short film script to the panel, I practiced pitching it to a couple of peers to try and guess some questions that may be asked & see any last minute improvements I could make.  This was a good help as it has allowed me to see what I have missed and what I could improve on.  Questions that my peers have asked/what could be potential client questions: 1.  Why did you decide to add a clown to this short film? 2.  Because its so hard to film in train stations, what would you do if you don't get a license for filming some of the scenes there ? 3.  How do you think your film will appeal to people not from your target audience? The answers I gave:  1. 'After researching urban legend stories and doing my audience research, I came to a conclusion that having a clown in an urban legend, would create that theme and...

Omniya Tajni P1:  Explain different ideas for an original media product based on a client brief M1: Discuss strengths and weaknesses of the different ideas My interpretation of the client brief Within the brief I have interpreted that the client has asked me to pitch my urban legend script. In this pitch, I have understood that I will need to explain where I developed my final idea, my inspiration and the research I took that created the final product. I believe that I am open to my own choices, this is on how I want to present my ideas and what materials I decided to use as visual stimulus. In this case I chose to do a Prezi PowerPoint. However, the boundaries are that my pitch has a time limit of 3-5 minutes and I must be able to explain how I managed to get the final idea with the research that I undertook and be ready to answer questions given during the pitch. My possible ideas for my client brief interpretation Before I decided on the idea for my urba...
