Our Pitches



A young teenager attempting to reach the standards of their perfectionist parents, one day they just cant take it anymore, but they regret certain decisions.

    

    This pitch has great potential because of its ability to harness the unknown and be emotionally connecting. The pitch also conforms well to the audience because there are many teenagers dealing with similar situations 24/7. Furthermore this pitch doesn't require props inaccessible to the group making it a great candidate. However, this pitch struggles with the editing aspect and it will be difficult to cut and edit sounds to conform to the types of shots we will be using. I believe that this pitch's positive aspects outweigh the negative ones because its thrilling and emotional.


A teenage girl goes about her normal school and social life, unbeknownst to the fact that she has a stalker with nothing but bad intentions.


    This pitch has potential for success because the story presented has a lot of versatility and can go in many ways. The pitch also works well because it adheres to the amenities available to the settings available to my group. However, I believe that the most impactful benefit of this pitch is that this storyline can be created in only a few areas and does not require a lot of movement throughout a setting. There aren't many struggles to this pitch, but if I had to name one it would be difficulty editing certain important aspects of the movie. Such as making sure the viewers can recognize when the stalker is watching by using a camera lens edit to make it seem stalker-like. 


The pitch that my group is selecting for the final project is "A teenage girl goes about her normal school and social life, unbeknownst to the fact that she has a stalker with nothing but bad intentions."


    My group selected this pitch because it is very versatile and it has a lot of areas for creative input. My group also selected this pitch because it fits the apartment complex setting that we will film in exceptionally through the apartments vast hallways, garage, and elevator. Furthermore this pitch would work best in an urban setting environment which is most accessible to my group. This pitch also requires simple props that are accessible to our group such as a car or phone. Similarly this production does not require expensive and artistic costumes like other films may. The most important and prolific reason for selecting this pitch is because my group felt that the production would allow for the most creative input into the topic and how it can be shaped to represent us. Additionally the storyline has great depth and adaptability which makes the storyline flexible to change and adjustment that may be necessary over time. However, I am aware of the flaws in the difficulty when creating edits in this type of storyline.  But overall I believe that this this pitch selection will be most beneficial for my group because it balances a complex story with an attainable goal. I also believe that despite the challenges my group may face when creating the final product I will be successful not only because of individual ability but also because of the thought and care put into selecting a storyline.

Genre Re-Adjustment: Project Blog

   Our group realized minor flaws in our film as we continue through this production process. The biggest issue that has come to surface is that our genre isn't represented as well as we thought it was going to be. I did not think this was going to be an issue at the start. In fact, I thought the mystery genre was the perfect fit. As I am watching how the production is unfolding, it seems as if our problem is that we can't necessarily get the feel of a true mystery film in our 2 minute clip. This means, our film's conventions don't completely align with those of a real mystery. I still believe that it can fit the genre, but giving it the title of a mystery-thriller would be more fitting. The camera angles and movements used in our film are those typically used in mystery films. For example, we use extreme close-ups on objects to provide a mysterious feel about them. Also, we use low and high angles to show superiority and inferiority in different characters. On the othe...

Our Pitch

Image
A person receives a briefcase and is unaware of its contents, unbeknownst to him he is being followed.          This pitch has great potential because of its ability to harness the unknown and be action packed in a short period of time. The pitch also conforms well to the settings we have available due to our access to the urban setting. Furthermore this pitch doesn't require props inaccessible to the group making it a great candidate. However, this pitch struggles with a lack of dialogue and it will be difficult to facilitate conversation throughout. I believe that despite this the pitch's positive aspects outweigh the negative ones because its exciting and is mysterious. A natural disaster knocks out the power in a city, forcing an evacuation but for one man something goes wrong.     This pitch has potential for success because the story presented has a lot of versatility and can go in many ways. The pitch also works well because it adheres to the am...
