Hey Rosea
ReplyDeleteThis such a big change to the last version of this piece i feel that there is more info in this version which helps you sale the show more and i do feel that the little bit of story line in there helps the read want to come and see this production. the show info helps a lot as you know more about the company and all where the show is and when it's on and how you can get tickets for it.
Well Done

Hi Rosea,
ReplyDeleteAfter reading the previous comments it is apparent that you have taken much advice that has been given and put it in to your new marketing piece. I agree with Ellie that you needed to space your writing a little so that people can see the structure of your piece and sub-conciously the reader sustains interest if the writing is set in smaller paragraphs.
However on the whole I feel this piece of writing serves its purpose and especially liked the added detail of the performance:
"Watch as the 7ft tall, hip HOPPING cricket bounces his way across the stage and marvel as the Blue Fairy enchants you with her aerobatics on the suspended circus ring."
For me this added individuality and sparked some excitment from the production. You also motivate me to see Pinocchio by your use of words implying originality and creating a picture of a unique performance. This is difficult to do with a marketing piece as it can be misread as a descriptive piece.
Your use of reference to the classic Pinocchio also benefits your piece:
"Chickenshed are bringing this production back to life for a second time in what promises to be even better than the first."
It leaves use eager to watch and compare the modern performance to the classic.
Reading your piece has helped me to understand what is lacking from my own marketing piece so this illustates that you have marketed this with success.
Well done
Rachel
