Pitches

Here, Megan and I are pitching our ideas for our film opening to the class in order to receive feedback. Even though they were not our target audience, they helped us choose which pitch was best and point out the flaws in our ideas.

 

 

We produced three ideas to pitch, excluding much detail to establish a sense of enigma and anticipation. The presentation includes the synopsis of each idea, our target audience, film title and genre.

 

Questions asked:

• Who came up with the ideas?
• Which pitch do we prefer?
• Do we know where all scene's will be located? 

This is the presentation we gave:

Pitches from SeyiiO

 

First pitch: Libra - who had kidnapped one half of the duo: Rayne and Ethan. She is seen using Ethan as a guinea pig, inflicting dark magical pain onto him. When Rayne finds him, she is confronted by Libra’s henchmen/girls.

Feedback: It is rather unrealistic and difficult to show the antagonist is practicing magic - in order to create a successful Fantasy/Thriller film effort will be needed in the special effects aspect so it does not end up tacky, and we need better resources which we don't have, to do so.

 

Second pitch: From a young age, Trinity is nurtured by the creepiness of her mother. On her first day of a new school – no one speaks to her. She finds a ring in the playground and puts it on: This ring transports her to the woods - where she ends up fallen on the ground. Someone appears in front of her.

Feedback: slightly difficult to do, but is a realistic idea. Is able to be fit in 2 minutes and has a good storyline for a film opening, it keeps the audience anticipated. a good transition from the school scene to the woodlands scene will create a more magical effect and help establish the fantasy in the film opening, it also needs little effort and be counted as the special effect aspect. A low angle shot should be in use to make the girl look more vulnerable after she is found on the ground in the woods. It may be slightly difficult to film on a playground with so many people around.

 

Third pitch: A group of friends go into the woods to play a game of truth or dare. There is a rustle in the bushes and a few of them gets suspicious. Suddenly, Marcy, clutches onto her leg and winces, everyone rushes to her side in order to help her. Rayne screams. Marcy has a large cut and blood dripping down her face.

Feedback: Good storyline, although too much like a horror film. It might be difficult to find as many actors to act in it. Creating fake blood it quite difficult to do.

 

The class had voted on their preferred pitch and chose the third idea. However, Megan and I overlooked the pros and cons of each pitches from the feedback given, and noticed the second pitch has minimal flaws compared to the others, and there was a good amount of people who voted the idea. So we chose the second pitch to do.
