Course Aims

The aim of the workshop is to help participants craft ideas and stories that can then be submitted for funding through Sound and Vision.

It will also serve to help you craft stories that can be used as station output and possibly look at other sources of funding.

Course Content

 

Overview of the Scheme : what is new and what is required

 

Idea Development: Working up the idea from its origins to a fully formed pitch

Additionality  : if you have an idea or it is a story that has been told before but you have a unique angle, a new perspective...how can you pitch it?

Thinking outside the box: How can I find ideas in other genres/themes, such as science, childrens programming, entertainment etc?

Making your pitch stand out : The Sound and Vision scheme is more competitive than ever, with a smaller pot of funds to work with. How can I  make my idea outshine the rest?

Making creative radio: Breaking the mould, by editing creatively, use of sound, breaking the linear narrative structure, using humour.

Fitting your pitch to the requirements of the scheme: wording your pitch and linking it to Sound and Vision requirements, the structuring of their running order, the linking of their pitch to the listenership of the broadcast station, etc
