Pitch Blog

For our opening movie sequence, we have come up with two ideas that we had to pick between. Our first idea was an alien abduction, and our second idea was a mafia boss situation.  

Pitch 1- Mafia Boss  

A man pulls up to a warehouse in fancy sports car, he is wearing a suit. He sees a duffle bag full of cash, he looks around for traps, grabs the bag gets in the car and starts a phone call as he is driving away. 

Why we would choose pitch one: 

This film would be interesting to make because of the idea of it being in multiple locations in a small period of time. This film would also be interesting because there would be a lot of angles that we have not used in our videos yet. We would also have fun working with the costumes and lighting to figure out what is best for our film. However, getting a warehouse could be difficult to achieve in this situation. Also getting the lighting right could be difficult due to the time this would take place.  

Pitch 2 

A teen is enjoying time alone until something unexpected happens. They are then visited by intelligent life. 

Why we would choose pitch two: 

This pitch would work well because it offers a great opportunity for a cliffhanger. This is important because it will make the watcher want more. The topic of aliens and intelligent life has always been fascinating to humans. Therefore, this would captivate their attention. This pitch would also allow us to explore the limits of lighting and costumes.  

 

Pitch chosen: Teen is alone and visited unexpectedly by intelligent life. 

Why we chose the second pitch: We chose this because the topic interested us more, We also wanted to push our limits and work with lighting and different angles. We also agreed that the setting would be easier to accomplish. Therefore, this led us to the decision of the alien abduction.
