Final Pitch to Idea

2. Chosen Idea
 The idea chosen for me to take forward was a
documentary about how sports is utilized in school
for students with SEN needs. throughout the
documentary I want to explore whether the activity
of sport is utilized differently to students without
SEN conditions and to form a discussion on whether
students and/teachers believe students are deprived
from engaging in physical activity.

3. SWOT’s
 Looking at the SWOT’s received from my audience, I
was given insight that there are many positive factors
to my idea and a minimal potential drawbacks. This
further enhance my interest in the field, allowing me
to confidently explore this topic.

4. Purpose
 The purpose of the documentary is to inform people
on a matter they are unaware on due to simply not
having the needs of other students. If other students
can gain information on how SEN students cope with
their issue, other students should be able to relate
and schools may discover, offering more sports
maybe best for their students.

5. Development/mapping to my idea
 The secondary research I conducted helped shaped
my idea. During my research, I found a series of
artists who would be considered as SEN individuals
who had accomplished a lot. This allowed me to
connect the idea of SEN students and sports
together.
 Development of my idea came from the changing of
the title and the total research primary and
secondary that I had conducted allowing me to
further widen my knowledge in my subject.

6. Development of Title
 special needs – the importance of supporting us all.
 Sports and SEN students: The importance of
supporting us all.
 Sports and Students: The conduct of sports
Changing the title a third time allowed me to not pick
out students with SEN conditions and prevented any
possibilities of my documentary possibly
discriminating or making them feel as they aren’t
normal students like the rest.

7. Factors to changing my idea
 As my documentary was going to have a more
general exploration about why these students need
moral support, I later had a further encounter with a
group of students part of LSC where they expressed
and argued about how they are not being able to
play/exercise their sport. I gained a sense of empathy
when I realised that I myself am not able to utilize
the schools facilities as much as I’d like to. From
here, I found a more narrow aspect to investigate
allowing me to focus my idea on how sport affects
the lives f these students.

8. Appealing to my target audience
 Employment Environment:
 There are a total of 3 people living in my household including me, and every
one apart from my primary audience, are full-timed employed. I have an
older brother recently got employed full time to a zero contract
organisation forcing him to work long hours of a minimum of 10 hours a
day. His hours can stretch to 14 hours shift, which he would be steadily
adjusting to. Brother being newly employed full-time allows my
documentary not to focus too much on an older audience, as there is a clear
shift in genres of topics. The parental figure to Irving would ideally be a
mum is a full-time teacher at a primary school. This is due to the
stereotypical idea of females sympathising with student issues a lot more
than male audiences. The prevention of gaining a masculine parental
audience allows my documentary to potentially gain a more intense and
dramatic feel to the documentary. The friends and family connected and
associated with my primary audience (Irving) will ideally work within the
same class. This is so I can grasp a bigger appeal to my documentary

10. Primary Research
Primary research
conducted:
focus group and two
questionnaires conducted
excluding individual
conversations had with
staff of schools allowing me
to gain little knowledge in
the area.

12. History
 http://www.society-of-sports-
therapists.org/index.php/about_us/background-aims
 A group ‘society of Sports Therapists’ was established in
the year 1990. The forming of the organisation was used
to address, respect and present the growing demands
from sporting and leisure individuals. The demands were
ideally for those involved in the management and care of
injured athletes/sport players. The purpose of the brand
is to help ensure sport athletes were undergoing
adequate and effective training courses allowing them to
function efficiently.

13. Articles and statistics

14. Structure 1
 The conventions I will use:
 Voxpop/public views: presentations of team members or
people who are fans of the sport. Can show whether they
believe sports is necessary to all communities.
 Interview/confession: participant lead able to express his
feelings directly to the audience. This allows the
information he expresses about his life is accurate and
reliable as its first hand evidence.
 Cutaways – of cast playing basketball, basketball courts
possible extra activities taken place during conversations
we have with experts or members of the public
 Graphics – Astons, credits, Diegetic dialogue Non-
diegetic Music

15. Structure
 Introduction - presented character introducing the
documentary with cross cutting cutaways of students in
classes instantly demonstrating the topic.
 Central point - series of voxpops and public student
views. draw comparisons against the teachers and
students on the topic. engage in physical activity
exploring the topic hopefully allowing audience to be
informed on why physical activity/education is utilized
and controlled in the way it is.
 Ending - draw a conclusion with a raise question
allowing the audience to have their own interpretation on
whether thy believe sport or physical activity is used
frequently enough.

16. Filling the Gap

17. Distribution
 My documentary will be shown on E4 due to my beliefs
that my documentary's topic fits the audience of the
channel, similar documentaries to mine are presented on
E4 and its sister channels, allowing my documentary to
be more suitable for the program and also benefit the
channels views.
 As my documentary hold a lot of similarities to
documentaries which were successful on this channel, I
believe my documentary will gain a lot of views and high
ratings which will give my documentary commercial
viability.

18. Distribution
Publicity - Flash mob

19. Similar Documentaries

20. Similar Documentaries
 Looking at documentaries similar to mine, I have
realised that the documentaries tend not to use
archive footage. Being in the current day they are
only exploring current activity. I realised I have the
ability to further fill in the gap and make my
documentary different by placing some archive
footage within my documentary where I will be able
to make comparisons against the way physical
activity is conducted in schools.
