This month in my Full Sail University curriculum we are studying about media publishing and distribution. We have been encouraged to develop a creative idea that we can present to industry agents and publishers to hopefully get it legally and publically distributed. My idea this course has been a reality television show based on the lives of radio professionals. After working in a fast-paced, drama-filled hip hop radio station for the past six months, I have come to realize that our lives would pose for great television.
I have created a query letter to an agent, a reality television show treatment for producers, and I am in the process of completing a formal business strategy to self-promote and merchandise my reality television idea. The interesting thing about this whole process is that all of the resources needed to take your idea to completion are posted for free on the internet. Templates for your query letter, treatments, and business strategy have been created and posted on the internet by industry executives and professionals that have either gone through this process before, or receive creative ideas from different people each day.
While the majority of producers and agents only work with people who are already established in the industry, or who has a previous connection with them or someone they know, there are several websites that show agents and producers that will review content from newbies. All you have to do is use your favorite online search engine and search for whatever it is you are wanting to create. It will show you everything from diagrams on the entire creation to completion process, to how to properly find and approach your own agent or production company.
I wake up with different ideas everyday! When you have an idea, write it down! Invest some time into perfecting your idea and it may make some money for you one day!
HAPPY CREATING!
