Students on the NFTS Producing Digital Content diploma course have been practicing pitching their innovative online projects ranging from a drama webseries, an Augmented Reality comic and mobile game, an app that lets you skate the city, to a VOD cookery programme.
During the 12 month course, which is delivered in partnership with Sky TV, the students have had the opportunity to gain pitching experience with the BBC, Channel 4, the National Theatre and Hopster, who have given them valuable feedback.
One of their projects has already appeared on the BBC’s Taster website and other students have meetings lined up with major broadcasters, so look out for their projects in future!
Here are their projects:
‘The Grind’ web drama series created by student Nosa Eke who is looking forward to pitching to BBC3. https://www.facebook.com/thegrinduk/
‘Laid Bare’– advice on the do’s and don’ts of social media, developed by Joana Nunes, which has already been snapped up by the BBC and appeared on the BBC’s Taster website. [Read more here…] http://www.bbc.co.uk/taster/projects/laid-bare
