Deciding on a pitch

   My group and I went through a long consideration of which two pitches we wanted to use. Ultimately, we decided on two pitches that would adequately match our intentions with this project. In the process, we had to think about a few things. For example, how we would film it and what equipment we would need. We need our film to challange conventions, but also to be accessible for us to film and to complete in a timely manner. Ssome of thr equipment we'll need would include a camera, a tripod, also editing software like iMobie. With these, our project will be put out to the best of our abilities and in a timely manner. The consideration including how we would film it also came into play. Such as does our location allow us, or any other restrictions. These thoughts brought us to what pitch we will do.
   Our first pitch which was "Two best friends, one goes missing" was in consideration. This pitch would be good because the ending would be a cliffhanger and the audience would want to see more. It would allow us to be creative and think about teen drama, mystery genre. It would be something completely different than what we've done before. This, however, would be challenging because the plot would be repetitive. As well as in the process of finding the other friend and the character's story and where they stand can get confusing. We want to avoid that to keep the story as clear and simple as possible. This pitch would be acceptable if we had no limitations. As well as not allowing it to be confusing.
   Our other pitch was "plaan and proceed a 'murder'" this was a good idea because we already had an idea of ehat the film would look like. Such as a few seconds of getting ready, plotting the action and going into the action plan. This would be a fun movie to film because it would allow us to think outside of the box. We would be able to use props and make them as well. However, filming this would be very different. We would have to act mysterious and shady and keep a straight face. This would be a good film and great plot, but not accessible.
The one pitch we decided to choose is "Friends turn on each other doesn't end well". This pitch leaves the audience wanting to come see the film. And our ideas all came together and planning and we have a good idea of what we want to film, and how we will film it. This pitch has our ideas invested and can have us be out of the box and make the film engaging.
