10/5/2011 - Presenting Our Pitch

We have presented our pitch in front of a small audience while being filmed (seen from the video previously posted) and we explained what our filmwas about, the audience we are aiming for, our research films and the general information about the film including the genre, directors etc.

Our pitch lasted for approximately 3 minutes as we took it in turns to explain each part. Chris began by explaining the plot in depth so the audience would clearly understand it. Mark then went over the general information and the research films and covered the scene that would influence our ideas, including shots and camera techniques. Luke finally went over the audience explaining who would most likely watch our film and how we would aim for a young audience when marketing.

The pitch was quite fluent and we did cover most areas of the film we are going to create, giving the audience a full understanding of what to expect. Chris was full of ideas and elaborated on these when we were questioned after the pitch, explaining all the camera shots, angles and ideas we had.

We had a lot of feedback from our pitch showing the good and bad points that we will consider in the future of post production:

• Consider that it is a touchy subject choice to cover (sexually assault)
• Charlotte who is playing Lily Road will have to put on a good performance, make sure she is aware what is happening
• Courageous idea that many think will work well
• Do not video long shots of the woman being sexually assaulted but more short takes giving of the idea that this is happening
• Interact with her life earlier on at the beginning of the movie so we can see the drastic change she under takes 

One of the main ideas that we do seriously need to consider is the concept of the assault. Many of the audience raised the awareness that Charlotte must fully understand what is being done and the area has to be warned that filming is taking place. We explained that people will be standing either end of the tunnel where we will be filming and we will warn the neighbours and pedestrians around. We will get consent of Charlotte if we have any trouble with police.

After saying our thoughts of how to avoid any issues and going over our film plot and ideas, the audience agreed and felt the film is a very good choice.
