Pitching a new TV series or film
When pitching a new TV series or film, you need to be able to describe your idea in shorthand
that the producers or industry executives will understand. As we’ve discussed in class, two
commonly used elements of a pitch are the log line and the “it’s like” sentence.
For this assignment, you will practice creating these elements of a pitch; you will also be doing
this in your FTV project.
First, select one of the two episodes of Sherlock that we have watched (“A Study in Pink” or
“The Great Game”) and do the following:
A. Identify which episode you are using.
B. Write a new log line that describes the episode that you have chosen; include all of the
elements discussed in class. (approx. 25 words)
C. Write an “it’s like” sentence that compares Sherlock to another TV series or film that
captures the tone of the episode; include all of the elements discussed in class. (approx. 25 words)
Second, write a short paragraph that highlights three key locations used in the episode you selected. Describe the locations and how they connect to the story and add atmosphere. Use approximately 25 words for each location and explanation.
Overall, your assignment should be 125-150 words.
Use full sentences, proper grammar, and a formal tone (no colloquial language, no I/me/my/our/your, etc.). Include your word count with your name.
