Life itself (TV show proposal)

Dear Sir,

It would be a pleasure for our company that you may consider our new project called “Life itself” directed to adolescents and based on real life facts.

The project deals with everyday situations that teenagers face in their lives in Argentina. For example: adictions associated to alcohol and drugs, violence,  teenage pregnancy, eating disorders, among others.

The cast was properly selected by our qualified staff of acting professionals. The chosen actors will perform the roles of adolescents that belong from different social contexts.

We consider this serie is appealing to teenage viewers since each episode will show different situations in which they may feel identified and after watching it, they will be able to reflect upon their own experiences.

We expect the tv programme to be broadcasted five days per week, from six pm to seven pm because of the high porcentage of audience at that time. What is more, there will be  special editions supported by proffesionals that will deal with the topics exposed on previous episodes.

We hope you take into account this interesting project and let us be part of your network.

Faithfully

What is the format of the show? I think it is a fiction (though based on real facts). You can include this information at the beginning of the letter to clarify which kind of programme your proposal is. There are some spelling and typing mistakes (percentage, professionals...)

I agree with Florencia. I think that it would be good to make clearer the format of the show because the producers ,who will carry it on economically, may be interested on that.

I like the idea of the project and the name of the serie too! But as the girls said, you need to enlarge your idea and make it clear enough so the reader understands what is the format of the program, will it be kind of a novel? What message are you trying to transmit apart from having the audience reflect upon it?
The layout of the letter is ok to me!

Hi girls!! To me, the format of the letter is ok. However, I have some comments on it. To start with, the name of the writer doesn´t appear. I don´t think a producer takes into account any idea without knowing where it comes from.
On the other hand, when you say: "We expect the tv programme to be broadcasted five days per week, from six pm to seven pm", in my particular opinion, it sounds like an order or a command made to the producer.

Anyway, I have to say that yours is a billiant idea!!

I consider this project could be of great interest among teenagers!!

However it's my task to comment on some issues:

-I agree with Ivana on the importance of presenting "the company", as you call it.

-Another feature that I'd like you to explain in detail is the "reflection" stage of the show. Will it happen in an specific section of each episode or will it only take place in the specials?

Exploit your creativity to the full!!!

Girls! I like the idea although there are some aspects to improve. To me, it is not clear enough if it’s going to be a kind o soap opera or a different story every episode (which would be really difficult to carry out in a daily show). When you say, “The cast was properly selected,” means that the actors are already chosen? Why? The show hasn’t been accepted yet. As for the time table, you can suggest it but the network finally decides it so there you can make use of modality. Who are the professionals in the specials? I mean professionals on what? Maybe there can be some teenagers in the specials who can tell their personal experiences connected to the episodes since you say that the stories will be based on real life. As I said at the very beginning, I like your proposal anyways.
