VIDEO PITCH STRUCTURE & CONTENT
FOR TV SERIES


1. Personal introduction
Before you start selling your project it is very important to sell yourself as a trusty professional.
Introduce yourself with your name and describe your role in the project. A few lines about
your background, experience and past work.

2. Project introduction
Present your project to the audience defining it in one sentence.
This is important as it gives a context for the audience: country, genre, mood, etc. This way
they won’t have to guess this information during the pitch.
Example:
TITLE is a Spanish 8 episodes x 60 minutes horror thriller about MINI-LOGLINE.

2.1. Trailer (if you have one)
After the introduction is the perfect moment to play any teaser or mood trailer. This way, the
audience will be connected with your visual proposal and aware of the series tone. You and
the audience will be on the same page for the rest of the pitch.

3. Plot
What is the series about?
Overview, don’t go into too much into details.
Explain broadly the characters, the conflict and the evolution of the season.
Where do we start and where do we finish?

4. Characters

Who are they? Motivations + Conflict + Evolution
