Advanced Specialist Production Skills: Summary

Throughout the course of planning this project my idea of concept has vastly changed several times. First of all when I decided to re target my audience from that of middle aged people to that of adults aged sixteen to twenty five. I felt that this was an important development in my original idea, as it has allowed me to create a more exciting show at an audience that is easier for myself to relate to. The second big change in my original idea was to change the format of the show from that of a television pilot to a web series. I feel like this was the right move as it has allowed me to keep up with an evolving market and offered more freedom in the way I can create my series. I am now at a point where I have the theme and location of each episode in my web series however I still need to script each show in order to not stray away from the structure and appearance of each show. I want the series to come across with a professional appearance but also with a clear brand that is distinguished across the whole series and online content. I believe that by having this consistent branding and style I will be able to keep an audience returning and create a successful series. Whilst I am glad with the direction my project is now going in and believe that this will end in an overall more professional final product, I do wish that I had not consumed so much time having to tweak and alter my series as it has put a strain on the amount of work I still need to complete in order to be ready for filming. I feel that even though I have had disruptions along the way that these could of been more efficiently dealt with if I had a better time management plan at the beginning of the project. With the direction I am planning to now take this project in I feel like the skills I have obtained in website design will be greatly beneficial. I also have developed skills in being able to better pitch my work to an audience in order to sell the idea to them. I feel like having the insight of how they would view the project has given myself a better understanding in how to efficiently develop and proceed with the filming and production of my web series.
