Internet Television Final Project- Pitch

For the internet television final project, the assignment was tocreate a website and make a pitch for an internet television property taking the following points into consideration:

a. What is the genre? (comedy, news show, talk, sports, reality show, etc.)
b. What is the “concept” behind the show – what makes it different from the other shows in your genre? Why will people watch?
c. Who is it targeting? who do you expect your audience to be?
d. What is the length and frequency? Is this a weekly series or more like an internet television equivalent of a “movie of the week”
e. What internet television platforms are you targeting and why? Could it be made available on more than one or is it unique to one platform?
f. How are you using interactivity, connectivity or other aspects of internet television beyond delivery of basic video?
g. What funding/revenue model do you think would work best for your concept? Are advertising or other revenue generation elements incorporated?
h. How will you produce this show? Using what tools? What processes? If someone were to give you a “green light,” what would you need to do to actually get it done?

Given my obsession with mobile phones and my recent infatuation with location-based stuff, I decided to develop a prototype for a series/platform that I called "locationSTORY". Basically, the idea is a user-generated set of mobile TV channels that makes the most of the advantages and limitations of the mobile platform. Visit the website to find out more.
