Pitch Feedback

After we presented our pitch to the class, we asked for some feedback from our fellow peers and teacher. We were asked a mixed variety of questions relevant to the film, however we did not receive many suggestions on how to improve our project. Here are some of the questions we were asked:

Q) Will we be acting in the film?
A) Unfortunately as we are a small group of three where the third Carl has some attendance issues, we would be looking to find someone to aid us in our filming, a friend possibly.

Q) What kind of music will be used?
A) We will pace the music with the speed of the visuals, so if it fast then the music will be fast and vice versa. Furthermore to keep it related to the thriller genre the music will be dark and eery.

Q) How long will the duration of your shooting be?
A) We are looking to film for about 15 minutes, unedited, then plan to edit it to make it fit and match correctly to our criteria of two minutes. Most of the camerawork will take place outside of college but the editing will be used in college lesson time as the resources we have at our hands is far greater than our personal resources.

Q) What costume will we use?
A) With the narrative of our thriller involving the main protagonist exiting from a night out we will dress him in smart-casual attire and the antagonist in the obvious choice of balaclava and dark clothing.

Q) What credit style do we want to produce? Font, colour etc?
A) Our first idea was to blend in the credits with the actual visuals of the thriller introduction, but this required a lot of advanced editing, so we want to use a visual then credit style, with our action than the credits rolling, the idea we want to use is to have the protagonist waking up from a dream/nightmare and than a flashback leading to the credits however this will depend on the time we have and the resources available. The font is still undecided but we will evaluate our camerawork and the lighting to help select the appropriate font/colour. Furthermore we need to analyse the speed of our visuals to match to the speed of our credits.
