Ep. 50 - Life's a Pitch and Then You Try
In this episode, Kelley discusses the fine art of pitch decks for authors, screenwriters, and filmmakers. She looks at the basic structure of about 12 to 15 slides that can be in Google Slides or PowerPoint which includes:
- Cover Art
- Logline
- Comps - other works that you can compare it to.
- Character Descriptions - only for your to 6 to 7 characters
- Synopsis of the plot - one page or slide.
- The inspiration for the project
- The Tone - what visuals to use.
- The marketing potential - Who is your audience?
- About the author/screenwriter/or production crew (director or writer)
- Contact information
Here's a link to the Christmas Carol Pitch Deck in Google Slides if you want to examine its structure and learn how to create one for yourself. Maybe as a creative prompt, create a pitch deck for a classic book or play.
Thanks, and remember, when the going gets tough, the tough get creative!
