Audio Doc Pitches

Audio Doc Idea #1

My first idea would be similar to one of the popular audio documentaries I found on the site. One of the most entertaining documentaries was one that was a collection of camp stories from people. I worked as a counselor at my church camp for the past two summers and our enrollment has been down so I thought it would be good to do an audio documentary that tells some of our various crazy camp stories. I’d interview various counselors and campers that I know about their experiences at Bluestone and organize it in a way that conveys the nature of the camp. The target audience will be people who might consider going to a Presbyterian Church camp in West Virginia.

Audio Doc Idea #2

My next idea is similar in content to my first idea. Every summer at Bluestone, we tell a story of the superhero Captain Bluestone that encompasses his origins and has him facing off against a villain who is determined to destroy the camp. This past summer, we counselors hit our stride with the tale of Captain Bluestone and the Lady of the Lake facing off against pirate captain Bartholomew Gulch and his cohorts. The audio would be each counselor telling their part of the story with the sound effects added that we use in camp. The target audience would be campers from summer of 2013, who would recognize the story and hopefully enjoy it.

Audio Doc Idea #3

As we have well established by now, I really love drag queens and like most fans, I am really excited for RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 6. So in this documentary I will evaluate the 14 drag queens that have been announced for this season based on their photos, audition tapes, and meet the queens interviews from worst to best and give my predictions for this season. The documentary will go queen by queen and probably involve lots of humor. The target audience will be viewers of Drag Race. Online recaps of the show usually gain a decent amount of views so it should attract a good audience.

Audio Doc Idea #4

This documentary will focus on the Ally group on campus. Ally is a gay-straight alliance student organization. The documentary will be a collection of interviews from members of the organization and will discuss things like queer prom, political issues, and what it is like to be a part of the LGBT community at Ohio University. I’d ask everyone what their favorite part of Ally was and edit all of that together at the end. The goal of the documentary would be to spread awareness of the organization on campus and the target audience would be incoming LGBT students or ones that hadn’t gotten involved with the organization.

Audio Doc Idea #5

This documentary would focus on the Life In Adams show within AVW Productions. It would include audio clips from episodes of the show and interviews of the cast and crew. I would want this one to be a fun and interesting documentary. The goal would be to get more viewers for the show once we finally premiere our first episodes. Another goal would be to encourage media students to join the crew or anyone to audition for the cast at some point. The documentary would really need to sell the entertaining aspects of production and would function as a long ad for the show. The cast and crew are all big personalities that would translate well to an audio broadcast. The target audience would be all Ohio University students.
