PITCHES TO TV PRODUCER LOUISE COWMEADOW - February 2008

Harriet writes: "In February this year we were lucky enough to be able to pitch to Louise Cowmeadow, a successful producer who's work includes AP on "Most Haunted - Live" and Producer on the current TX of Jerry Springer. The idea of pitching to anyone is quite nerve-racking, even more so when we told that it would be Louise! We each had to make sure we were prepared for any questions she might ask us, so the pre planning was very important. I watched other people in the class pitch which gave me a taste of what to expect, but i was still very nervous. I needn't have worried though, Louise was very talkative and liked my idea and she also gave me a few ideas as how to film my documentary and other angles I could take. Having spent the day more or less dreading it, I wanted to do it again. It was a really enjoyable experience and really good for us."
