Pitching Assignment

Pitching Assignment



Options:

• 'Untitled' internship
• Arts Council England
• Dave's Leicester Comedy Festival
• Dance4
• Editorial (theoretical)
• Leicestershire & Rutland Police
• Seed Creativity

What suits me most? It's a toss up between: Untitled internship or Arts Council. 

Untitled: are looking for an intern. The pitch asks to choose between the following campaigns to promote, to research the client, mood board reference material, outline of the concept, time schedule and any supporting information of how you would tackle the project. 

• Jewellery Group - Domino
• Leicestershire Business Voice
• Benito Brow Bar

It would be great experience for potential studio hiring or even for freelance work, however my preference of work lies outside the studio.

Arts Council England: to apply for a funding grant. You need to provide:

• Brief and concise description of the activity you are asking for support (no more than 100 words).
• Brief summary of your recent relevant artistic work, experience and achievements. 
• What is your proposed artistic activity, and what do you want to achieve by doing it?
• Why is this activity important for your artistic development?
• Sample work, 5-10 stills. 
• Timetable and budget.

Am I able to base this on a project I'm currently starting (in the modules)? But then, these pitches will be judged (if actually submitted) not only based on your idea and if it's good enough, but your past experience/projects to prove you are capable to follow such a potentially large project. And having yet to graduate, I've yet to have the opportunity to prove so for many reasons - low student budget, lack of experience in general due to always being in full time education. So am I able to 'pretend' I'm at a later part in my career? If not, would it lower my marking over this pitch?

This would more so suit my artistic-based work, and also back up my current project work.
