On thursday, we presented our pitch for our film, Murder Inc, to the class and miss Fernandez. Given that I had been off for the whole of the week previous to thursday, we were pleased overall with how our pitch went. We felt that our concept was explained well and we had clearly shown that we had considered the ideas we were going to use, in particular the location reccies and how we felt they would connote ideas about the genre, especially given that the we had little time to collaborate and fully understand each others research.
Having received feedback suggesting that we should reconsider our location, we still feel fairly confident that our locations are justifiable. However, on the same evening whilst walking into Sevenoaks I stopped and decided to photograph the Tubs Hill House compley, consisting of two office towers and an accomodation facility right next to it. If we did feel the need to change location, provided we had the required permision, I feel that this would be a useful location for us as it is in an urban, high rise location, conforming to the generic conventions of thriller films.
There are some areas of our work that can definitely be refined; for instance, we still need to nail down what music we will use; how this willv shape the audience's experience and how it will anchor the mood; what we expect our budget to be; which bankable stars we will include in our film.
In conclusion, whilst there were evidently areas in which our work could be improved, I found this exercise to be extremely useful, as it not only allowed us to share our idea with the rest of the group and reinforce the ideas in our minds that our piece is well thought out, but it also gave me a confidence boost, as I felt I was able to perform well in front of an audience where I usually struggle in such a situation.

I feel our pitch went poorly , although it would be fair to highlight the problems jacks illness caused our group , in terms of planning the presentation. Despite this , the pitch did reveal some flaws in our production and planning process. Since then , we have refined the plot through storyboarding. I am now confident in the project , and look forward to seeing the final outcome.
ReplyDeleteI would agree with Timo that the pitch went for the most part poorly, and the audience seemed lost very quickly. However we are still confident in our idea and have a very particular image in our minds of what the final outcome will look like. Now we've only got to convince everyone else that its a good idea....
