Professional Pitching for Documentaries

Once the concept is prepared, write the synopsis. In this case, it is a real short story that illustrates the main plot of the documentary. Now write the reason why, remembering the most original or most relevant points of your story. Then make the list of respondents. Finally, record the pitch if necessary. Share your project in the forum. Show everyone both the final result and the processing steps, documenting each step with an image and describing what you did with a brief explanation.

Thanks again for making this journey with me!”
