Final Task Pitch

  Hello, these past  past few days me and my group have generated three different pitch ideas for our final task for our media studies class.  Not only did we have to come up with a simple patch but also have a whole plot plan out in our heads for each of them.  We knew we wanted to  work in the horror genre because we thought it would be the most interesting to create and thought we would have the most creative and original ideas for it.  We started off with some basic ideas and each of us chimed in to add in more details to make our pictures better and narrowed it down to two. The first being
about a character who has a dream in a POV perspective of different horrible events  and the last shot being of somebody who killed someone and them with blood all over them and then later after the person has woken up someone such as their mom quotes something exactly from the dream.  Our second option would have been a murder mystery which would be about a group of friends who were all together and realize that a friend was missing and when they went to go find the friend they were murdered and left with a note that had a clue of how it happened and the group of friends go on a journey to figure out what happened and who killed the friend.
   The first pitch is what me and my group decided on. We feel as though this would be the best option and best pitch for this assignment. We think we can incorporate a lot more diverse angle shots through this pitch and also use different editing techniques. We also thought that this idea was more creative and would be a lot more fun to direct and shoot.  Another reason why we thought this would be a good idea is that there aren’t that many movies that have a similar plot so ours would be more original.  There’s a lot of different ways that we can take this pitch and if we were to create the full thing throw in surprises and thrilling moments. Within just two minutes we feel as though we could accomplish in an intriguing piece of film that would want an audience to go out and watch the full movie.
      The second pitch about the murder mystery we believe definitely has a lot of potential and would make for a great and interesting film.  Things like murder mysteries definitely keep the audience super engaged and feel like they’re apart of the movie which is important. We think if we did this one it would be super cool to create. My group and I have many ideas for this pitch that can make it different from the rest We still like the dream pitch a lot, however we think it would be hard for us to create the opening for this pitch without giving too much away. we also think that this movie is a little to similar to some other horror movies that we have scene.
   Overall, my group and I are very excited to begin planning for our first pitch about the horrifying mystery tale about a group of friends.  This pitch opens up many doors for us and gives us many opportunities to throw in whatever we want with different lighting and moods and camera shots and editing and whatever else we want to do.
