Getting onto Channel 4 (Part 1)

Now that our documentary is nearing completion, i have been researching what i would have to do get 'The Pregnant Guy' onto Channel 4.

I started off by looking at the Channel 4 website, where I found a section on Commissioning Documentaries. Looking through this page, as well as the FAQS section, I found out there are two main routes to go down to get a documentary on Channel 4. Due to the fact that Channel 4 don't make in house productions they  "can't accept programme proposals unless they come via a television production company or freelance producer/director".


This means that to the documentary onto Channel 4, we would either need to register with Channel 4 as a freelance producer here, or put our ideas forward to a production company.

I decided to take a look at Pact who are "the UK trade association representing and promoting the commercial interests of independent feature film, television, digital, children's and animation media companies." Channel 4 suggest to look at Pact to find Production company's to suite your needs.

After filling in a quick form, Pack suggested two company's to me, Real Life Media Productions in Leeds, and True North Productions Ltd also in Leeds. Of the two I have contacted True North Production Ltd.

In addition to this, I have also contacted channel 4 asking for them to treat me like a freelance producer.

Poster Attempt 1

Here is my first attempt at making the poster for our Documentary 'The Pregnant Guy.'
To get the poster looking as authentic as possible I went onto the channel 4 website and found a style guide (which can be found here), for how the posters are made, including the logo size and the text size.

This first attempt does not contain all the information that the final piece will contain.
The Final piece will contain :-
Title - 'The Pregnant Guy'
Tag Line - currently 'The guy guide to teen pregnancy'
Info - 'New three part documentary/series starts . . . e.g. Monday 14th of February'

The first poster attempt is below, it is in both Landscape and Portrait.
