So what is a pitch?  
A pitch is a brief, persuasive speech that you use to spark interest in a project, idea, or product – or in yourself.  As you will film yourself your pitch can also be a short vlog.  A vlog is a video-log.

A good pitch includes:
- Research.....you can talk about your topic
- Know Who You're Pitching to......me
- Includes a Hook....reel me in
- Get to the Point and Be Relevant.....only talk about what you need to talk about
- Convince me to travel there....this is memorable and the main part of your pitch (tag line/statement)
