The Final Pitch

When we first started this project we had to come up with three pitches for it. In this blog we’re gonna be narrowing our choices down until we find the pitch we want to do. When we started to look at our pitches we decided to get rid of one of them because we thought it was the weakest of all the choices. This idea was about someone having a dream about a family member disappearing and then waking up to their family member being gone. We enjoyed this idea but didn’t feel like it would work for a two minute opening to a film. Narrowing between the choices was difficult because we did like all the ideas we came up with. This led us down to two pitches left.

        Our first remaining pitch is about a person getting drunk the night before and waking up with blood on their hands trying to figure out what could’ve happened the night before. This is a good pitch because it could create suspense. Audiences love when movies are suspenseful. The viewer would want to know what happens next. They would feel reeled into the plot. However, there are some cons to this plot. We don’t believe we’d be able to make it a two minute opening sequence. We also think the idea would be during the night so the lighting really wouldn’t be the best.

        Our other remaining pitch is a person planning an attack and commuting the attack but someone’s notices the attack. Will the person get ratted out or will he catch the person who knows what he did? We believe this is also a very good pitch idea. We believe this is a very suspenseful plot and like we said earlier people love suspense. We think the pitch would make people want to know what happens after the person sees an attack being committed. A variety of props could also be used for the scenes involving planning. We also think we’d be able to fit this in 2 minutes. The only downsides could possibly be figuring out how to use our surroundings to make the plot make more sense but we could make it work.

        Overall, we decided on the second pitch. The finals pitch is a person planning an attack and commuting the attack but someone’s notices the attack. Will the person get ratted out or will he catch the person who knows what he did? Filming with this plot will make it so that audience will be intrigued for the whole two minutes but still want more after it ends. This pitch seemed easier to do and more enjoyable with the props aspect. The suspense it can create just appeals to us. We are extremely excited to do this pitch.
