Final 2 pitches

We have finally narrowed it down to 2 pitches. Ones an adventure and ones a horror. The adventure one starts with a old guy talking and rocking in his rocking chair. The camera starts winding up to him. He will still be talking as the camera is winding up to him. Once it gets to him he will say “ and the adventure begins.”  The horror pitch will start with to people walking. They will walk past a wanted sign. One of them will pick up there phone. As he’s on his phone his friend will get killed. He will look around then also get killed; it will then zoom into the wanted sign.

The adventure pitch,which is about an old man narrating an adventure; is a good pitch for this assignment but we decided that we will not use it. It is a good pitch because the idea was for the beginning of the movie to start with the old guy, narrating a journey to come. And as he’s talking it would be some boys making their way to where the old guy is the whole time. When they got there he would say “the adventure begins”, and it would end there. This would’ve been great because it would’ve gotten the audience engaged in what the adventure would be, and it wouldn’t be a trailer. But it cannot be used because we wouldn’t be able to find an old man, and we don’t have a set place to where we would film.

The horror pitch, which is about a wanted guy who escapes and kills: is a great pitch for this assignment because it would build suspense. When the idea came to us it was pretty clear that this was most likely going to be it. This pitch is fairly simple and doesn’t require much. We could easily find a place to film, A place like the park or a dark area is perfect. Also,it only requires 3-4 people, that would include the wanted killer, the two friends, and a cameraman. Another great thing about this is that, the end of the 2 minutes will most likely leave the audience wondering. In the movie, when the two friends walk away and the killer shows up, they will be wondering what happens next. Therefore unlike a short film, there is no end; but it's only just the beginning of what's coming. The only thing that can cause any change of plans would be the weather.

We are doing the horror movie. We are doing this because we will be able to do it well. We also have all the features for it. We can make a wanted sign. We also have 2 people to play the civilians. We have someone to do the killer. The plot also leaves you wondering who the killer is and what he is wanted. Since you won’t be able to see his face. You might also wonder why he killed the two people. You will keep watching the movie because you want to know stuff.
