Communication Skills For Media Makers

In my diploma course i have to take this module on communication skills.
Basically we learn about pitching a concept, about budgeting a TV production and all that jazz.

I really like my teachers style of teaching and she gives out the most detailed and helpful CA briefs.

For my second continual assessment (CA) we had to pitch and original TV show to a panel of Mediacorp executives. My heart was beating like mad at the beginning.
I took a deep breath and started...

Kelly told me after that i sounded professional which is points for me. YAY:D
However, Try said that it was badly presented and i have to agree.
We did not practice it perfectly!
For pete's sake we were working on the powerpoint on the day itself.
I hate doing things last minute.

The changing of speakers was messed up. I said i will pass the time on to shanice when it should have been michael.
The judges did say that they were not criticizing out concept rather the terms we used.

Want to hear our original idea?

Its a reality show called Border Rehab.
We take delinquent youths out of their comfort zone and put them in countries like Africa and India.
They are supposed to carry out a project and live in the community for one week.
Through the participants entertaining experiences we will see if he can stand one whole week,
without electricity, no phones or TV.
The aim is to see an internal change in the participant.

Will you watch my show?
Leave me a comment below.
