Game show pitch

Timed pitch

To the editor of communiqué TV,

I am writing to tell you about my new idea for a game show on your channel called ‘Windows’. This game show has an original idea that will be sure to be a success and make you money. The production of the game has a low budget and will make money quickly, this is why I am so excited to share with you my idea for the game show ‘windows’. Good intro

To describe the game show briefly to you I would have to say it has a mixture of mental challenges. All to be completed in two minutes. It is set in a studio in front of a live audience perfect for the autumn cold months as it is indoors. A long section is shown to a family of contestants with lots of huge glass panels that look like windows all in front of each other with an amount of money at the end. Every time they approach a window a question or challenge will appear. As a team, they must answer the question  correctly and the window will open and they can walk through to the next window with a higher amount of money. But the contestants must be warned get questions wrong and more windows will rise from the floor making it that bit harder to reach £10,000 at the end. This is a perfect idea that a family audience will definitely enjoy watching together that will have them shouting at the TV when they know the answer, then come back every week for the entertainment. Watchers of the show will respond with negotiated reading, accepting and rejecting certain contestants answers.  Nice concept Chloe – can you walk through Windows? Would doors be better? I think you need some examples of some of the challenges. Who would the contestants be?

The game show will be shown at 6-7pm. I believe this is the best time that will get the most amounts of viewers. At this time everyone in the family will be home from work and want to watch something enjoyable to relax them from their buys day. Younger children will also watch this just before going to bed. This makes me think that 6-7pm is the prime time for the game show to be aired. I will make sure this is a successful game show as their will be competitions for people at home to phone in which will cost them money to enter, also the adverts shown in the breaks of the show will be relevant to the audience.

The target audience will be able to join in on the challenges by downloading the app that can be downloaded on your phone. You can play along each week accumulating points on a scoreboard with everyone who is also playing; you have the chance to win a family holiday, which is provided by the sponsor of ‘on the beach’. Adults of the family target audience are the ones who will be playing along on their mobile devices. The app runs along side the programme meaning the audience has to watch the programme. The questions asked in the show will appeal to a wide range but also be challenging, and funny to watch, this could lead to content will viral potential to spread across social media.

The set design includes a low key live audience with a long corridor that has high key lighting. The low-key lighting of the window will get brighter the more amount of money is being gained. The primary colours will be used in the spot lighting at in logos and text, these colours are often associated with children and will also appeal to the older generations as they have connotations of youth and excitement.

My game show is the game show to invest in. It is original, exciting and modern made for the modern families of today. It is firmly in the 21st century. The show is filling that gap that you have on a Saturday night in the autumn that will gain viewers rapidly and become a game show success! I look forward to hearing form you and will hopefully enjoy working with you in the future.

Good ideas Chloe – just clarify the points I made. Add in audience theory for top marks. (Use and gratification etc)

This game show has an original idea that will be sure to gain you and you company money from its unique selling point. As the production of the game is low budget this will make money quickly, this is why I am so excited to share with you my idea for the game show ‘windows’.

To describe the game show briefly to you I would have to say it has a mixture of trivial and physical challenges. It is set in a studio in front of a live audience perfect for the autumn cold months as it is indoors. A long section is show to a team od contestants with lots of huge glass panels that look like windows all in front of each other with n amount of money on it. Every time they approach a window a question or challenge will appear. As a team they must complete this correctly and the window will open and they can walk through to the next window with a higher amount of money. But the contestants must be warned get one question wrong and they have the chance to move back a window get a second question wrong and they will go hoe with no money. Reach the final window and go home with £100,000. This is a perfect idea that a family audience will defiantly enjoy to watch together that will have them shouting at the TV when they know the answer.

The game show will be shown at 6-7pm. I believe this is the best time that will get the most amounts of viewers.

The target audience will be able to join in on the challenges by downloading the app that can be downloaded on you phone. You can play along each week accelerating points on a scoreboard with everyone who is also playing; you have the chance to win a family holiday, which is provided by the sponsor of ‘on the beach’. The app costs money to download so the adults of the family target audience are the ones who will be playing along on their mobile devices.

The set design includes a darkly lit live audience with a long corridor that is brightly lit. The high key lowlighting will get brighter the more amount of money is being gained. The primary colours will be used in the spot lighting at in logos and text, these colours are often associated with children and will also appeal to the older generations as they have connotations of youth and excitement.
