    Before filming my documentary, I had to make a power pitch to present my idea. I decided to use Prezi to make the slides for this pitch.
 

    There are six slides in my pitch, all containing six different things that I felt would be important and relevant to my documentary.

   

   Firstly, I included my initial idea; what I wanted to do, how it was going to work etc.
   I also included my target audience, my influences and some research into the subject I would be filming about.

    In order to help me successfully complete my filming without too many issues, I 'promlematised' and 'solutionated'. I thought of three problems that might arise while making my documentary, and put it into 3 words, one for each problem. I then thought of three solutions that I can turn to if these issues were to arise, and I also put those into three words.

    I then came up with a tagline, to basically say what my documentary is, in no more than five words. I chose "Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome: My Story" this tagline is relevant to my work because I was filming two people, who suffer from Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, and trying to show the audience what it's like to live with it every day, from a personal point of view. To finish my pitch, I included a youtube video, explaining EDS and how it affects the body physically, and the person mentally/emotionally.
