Picking a Pitch

After some creative brainstorming with my groupmates, we were able to narrow down our options. We finally had our top two pitches. We decided to consider factors like equipment and location when evaluating our options. That way, we would pick an idea that would be possible to make with the resources we have or can acquire. We decided to consider the pitch about the CEO of a big marketing company being suspected of murder and being investigated by a local detective. The second one we chose was the coming of age film about a neglected girl and her trip to self- exploration. They both seem like good ideas. The third option, the comedic story about the cat and the dog finding their way home, would not have been convenient. Because of the fact that we do not have the facilities that a production company would, it would be difficult. Filming with animals could be chaotic and problematic. Also, comedies tend to be harder to make interesting in the first two minutes, as opposed to suspense or horror.

Now that we narrowed the pitches to two, we can start evaluating them individually. After we do that, we can finally pick the pitch we are going to use. We used a similar process when we had to narrow them down to two. It was all about deciding which idea would make more sense for us to film. We needed to consider things like location and who would be willing to act for us. The Detective Watsón pitch sounded like a really good idea for us. We felt it could be a good opportunity for us to have some experience in filming suspenseful content. For the coming of age film, we all had previously discussed how we enjoyed the topic and were interested in filming something of the sort. After coming together to discuss the plot, we decided to make it about self-discovery.

We chose detective watson in the end because we had our clearest vision in it and it made the most sense to us. It's what we put the most thought and effort into planning. The other ideas we had were throwaways before settling on our final project plan. Our classmate Edurado heard about the movie and was excited to help us write it. He's extremely creative and energetic. The only problem is despite him being our classmate, he's not in our actual AICE class, he's in another class that shares the classroom with us. That's why we use him to bounce ideas off of, but he doesn't do any of the work. The movie is about a murder spree that goes on, and watson must solve it. In the end, there's a bloody cross on the chin of the victims, because the attacks are all religion-oriented In the end, he finds the killer who one of our classmates play. We already ideas as to how to go about this.
