On Wednesday the 18 February 2015 at 11am me and Callum went to a
BBC Digital Talent Search called: PATH Yorkshire. We had previously called the organisation for a place and revived and email back confirming our place. (I will include an sceenshot of this email in my university submission as I can not post in on the Internet, as we were asked not to forward or distribute the email).
We had aimed to attend this to pitch Wild-Life to the BBC, but upon reading the terms and conditions of the contract of our attendance, we read that this will give the BBC to use anything we say without our permission and it would become property of the BBC. Reading this we immediately decided we will not mention Wild-Life at this event. After a brief overview though, it became apparent what the BBC were looking far were "Youtube Personalities" as that's what their market were watching more off. This is not something we had intended to apply for, so instead improvised some ideas about making mocumentaries about guinea pigs and hamsters living in student accommodation, or dressing them up and filming a comedy western, and other things along those lines.
We were disappointed with the outcome as we had thought "BBC Digital Talent Search" meant they were searching for digitally creative people who have knowledge in the area of computer software, or ideas for new CBBC/Cebeebies animations. Either way, it was a good experience to attend and I am glad I had the opportunity to go, I only wish more information was give prior to turning up.
