I will structure my research in the most visual way possible. I can better perceive things visual than I can in written form so having large amounts of graphs, infographics and pictures will be key in putting across my findings.
I intend on getting as much primary information as possible. By conducting interviews with those who have successfully pitched TV shows (as well as those who weren't successful), looking though statistics, studying literature on the subject and web based research, I hope to gather a large scope of area allowing me to come to a comprehensive answer to my question.
The purpose of doing this research is all to do with selling a bigger idea. Yes, we want to release the short film to festivals and competitions on completion, but it is also part of a much bigger project. I would like to use this short film to aid pitching a larger concept to a TV or streaming network.
However, with many wanting to do the same thing, I will have to be 3 steps ahead of the curve. This research question is both innovative and different as it asks the question which everyone at some point has asked. "How did this garbage make it onto tv?". A terrible idea, if pitched well, could be made into a finished project. By looking into what makes a successful and not successful pitch, I should be able to discover the mystery.
My research will hugely impact my FMP as It has to change and develop in order to make my findings for a successful pitch. With any luck, It will have more positive effects than negative on the project being a stand alone short.
