PITCH A MEDIA PRODUCT IDEA TO AN AUDIENCE

3.1. Give critical and supportive feedback to a peer’s idea and pitch.
 write about the class discussion  about strengths and weakness of each perfomance
after each person pitched their ideas for the movie the class had a discussion about what was good about their ideas and what could be worked on and then after everybody pitched their idea we had a discussion about which pitch had the most potential and then we started to give our own ideas which we thought could make it better.

My own pitch could have been alot better i think i could have went into alot more detail about what is happening i beleive that my idea could have had potential had i have spent more time on my pitch and also if i had explained more. I beleive that my pitch was fairly unique as nobody thought of a pitch with the same type of idea. For next time i will make sure that i go into more detail about the pitch and explain about why i think that it is a good idea and how we couldmake it work i wil also make sure that i spend more time in writing the pitch and making sure that i make it to the best of my ability
