Pitch Presentations

The other day we all gave Presentations on Google Slides about our pitch ideas. Everybody was put into groups and all came up with ideas for a pitch. The idea is that some of the the tutors will discuss the ideas and agree on the best ones. My pitch idea was a comedy sketch that raises awareness of autism. I’ve had the idea for the sketch for a year and seven months now but haven’t had the opportunity to execute it. I hope this will be my chance. You can read the script for the sketch on my own website through this link. 

I will say that there were quite a few pitch ideas that were interesting to see and I look forward to seeing which pitch will end up being chosen in the final decision.

I showed a few other sketches on YouTube that had similar ideas to what I wanted to portray. One of them was the Cookie Monster in the library sketch from Sesame Street. The sketch features the librarian getting more and more frustrated as well as angry with the cookie monster the more and more he misunderstands him. I hope to use a similar approach in my film. You can watch this sketch below.

I also showed a sketch about Asperger Syndrome that was adapted by Fixers UK. This had the approach of the protagonist Jerry frequently misunderstanding language and taking things literally. You can watch this below.
