Pitch Ideas
In of our resources that we have, Greenlit: Developing Factual/reality TV Ideas from Concept to Pitch. it talks about the concept of a idea for script writing. The author Nicola Lees talks about how she struggle with getting an idea off the ground. She says "You need passion, guts, determination and a thick skin. And it helps if you don't mind rejection." This notion of having a a good attitude and an absence of fear of being shutdown sounds like good advice. Most ideas are just ideas, a starting point to something great. When Owen came up with the idea for an American Pickers parody he had a a lot of different concepts and ideas for it. Now we brainstorm different scenarios and even come up with new ideas for the show along the way. It even took us a while to come up with a name now, " Second Hand Hustlers" Owen Rye's baby will come alive in front of many to see. Greenlight said that in order to capture an audience we need a killer title, a one-paged entitled pitch and a good log line or tagline. We have much faith in this project and will continue to strive for our vision for this reality TV show.
