3. • Serena presented a fluent pitch covering a lot of information and advertisements that are
appealing and of high technical standard.
• Serena’s pre-production material is very precise and detailed and it is clear to see she has
put a lot of time and effort into her advertisments.
• Detailed Proposals stating exactly what he wants to produce in Unit 15 – title, content,
format, target audience, spending power – all covered.
•
EBI
• Advert to go inside a magazine could have more detail and the poster could have less
artists so Serena just needs to take some of the writing off as pass along audiences will
find it to much to read.
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.
