Pitch Blog - Spreading Ideas!

  Pitch 1:    A young couple is walking through a park when mysteriously a tattered suitcase falls from one of the many trees. What’s inside changes their lives!   Pitch 2:  Most football fans understand the importance of the final seconds of a game, but no one knows quite the same pressure that Cristiano felt during this match. For Pitch one we would not be able to film due to the props and shots needed. We do not have a suitcase and if we do decide to purchase one we would not be able to tatter it up because of the money spent towards it. The shots needed for this pitch would not make a good opening scene. There is just not enough content available to be shown for each role. We would need a deeper and more inclined opening scene than a casual walk in the park.

Genre Decision

Image
Genre 1: For the first genre we decided to research romance. We wanted to see what our options were. Halfway through researching we realized how we weren’t really passionate about this genre. We new that having passion for our film would be very beneficial. With passion comes motivation and so many other aspects. The romance genre was just not doing it for us. Genre 2: So we decided our next genre to research was comedy. We felt that comedy could work out but weren’t too sure yet. So we did some more research and later realized how it would be difficult for us to crack a handful amount of jokes in an opening scene. Comedy wasn’t our cup of tea and we felt as if we wouldn’t be able to film such opening scene. We wanted something a little more exciting than romance and comedy.  Genre 3: So that’s when we decided to research the genre “thriller”. We felt that this would be our best genre. We all had a preference for thriller movies due to the tension and excitement brought throughout ...
