• Harrison presented a fluent pitch covering a lot of information.

3. • All of your Pre-Production material is great – very well detailed and precise especially
hand drawn drafts.
• Detailed Proposals stating exactly what he wants to produce in Unit 15.
EBI
• Advertisement that is of high technical standard produced and appealing – this could be
improved by changing the font colours on your poster – for example “special guests” could
be another colour as it is something important on the poster that the audience will want
to see – there is also a lot of writing at the bottom of the poster which needs to be spread
out.
• Legal and ethical – slander/libel need to be added into your Pitch.
Teacher Comment:
A very detailed and confidently communicated pitch that has covered the expected areas (see
above) in a sufficient amount of detail.
All pre-production and sample materials are fit for purpose as well and are creative in many areas
in relation to their print based advertisement.
