1. Evaluation
What did you learn from the pitch?
From the pitch I learned that to give a successful presentation I need to catch the panel’s
attention and show them something really interesting. This means maintaining eye contact
and smiling even if it’s not going as well as planned. I also learned that you need to put more
emphasis on the product you’re selling; so for us we should have made sure they knew what
our advert would sound like by reading it out loud rather than just putting it in the power
point for them to read.
What feedback were you given?
What was most liked about our pitch:
Good Presenting background
Good use of photos
Good use of cue cards instead of big sheets of paper
Interesting use of head teacher
Vox pops idea
Good script content
Good risk assessment
Good sixth form music
Improvements that could be made:
More information needed about agency
Needed to read out the scripts
Music for main school needed
Is Mr Walbrin right for sixth form
Music for sixth form was quite dramatic
What needs to change before you can go ahead and record your ads?
We need to ensure that the music doesn’t sound as dramatic against the dialogue as we don’t
want the music to outweigh the message we are trying to get across. We could also revaluate
using Mr Walbrin as our sixth form voice to ensure it is the correct choice as the panel
weren’t sure. As an alternative voice we will record with Mr Fermor as he is a confident
speaker.
