Pitching an Idea

Cara Amorelli

Which genre/channel are you aiming for?

Drama (BBC 3)

Who is the commissioning editor at that channel and department?

Zai Bennett

What is the process and timescale for submitting proposals?

This process is managed by executives in those divisions, taking into account the quality and price of their proposals, submitted through the BBC's online proposals system.These timescales may need to be varied from time to time on individual projects by agreement with the independent producer. In particular where development is involved a timetable for such development and the subsequent commissioning decision will have to be agreed with the producer. 

Who are the target audience?

My target audience is aimed at 18+ age and any gender, maybe a more teen.

What programmes have worked well in the past and why?

Bored to Death (2009), this show follows the idea of falling in love with someone you are not suppose to love, it holds a dark them to it also. But mine won't have much comedy, only hints.

 What programmes similar to yours have worked well before, and on which channels?

There aren't many like this, so I think it would make a change to the norm, but they are usually shown on HBO (HBO is an American premium cable and satellite television network that is owned by Home Box Office Inc.)

Story-Axel, a trained assassin is sent to murder the Warren-Sanders family (by a jealous rival). It was a routine job, as far as his job could be seen as a routine job; Some rich business or another who failed to honour his underground obligations after making it big enough to hire a couple of bodyguards. The house was a typical on-top-of-a-hill modern mansion, all glass and steel and held no elegance whatsoever. The bodyguards all two of them, what a joke are easy enough to end in minutes. Axel doesn't break a sweat at all, he never expected to.The man of the household, as expected is in the master room with his wife. They are awake and active when Axel comes in through the window, but it takes no more than a minute to silence them both with his Glock 19. Unfortunately, he had not considered the mistress being present as well, and she manages to make out the door screaming before he can take her out. She lay dead on the stairwell as I looked down at her, I heard a noise; like a gasp. I turned and saw a young man, a little older than me- before his young brain could comprehend the situation; I shot him between his furrowed brows.I searched the house for money or anything worth taking, when I something moved- I spun on my feet and saw a boy younger than me clutching his mother’s hand and crying silently, I held my gun up and cocked it- but I couldn't shoot, he was beautiful; almost like a painting- then the sirens sounded; I thought on impulse and grabbed his wrist and dragged him along with me- I could end his life laterCould he?
