Our Pitch

My partners and I began my constructed two pitches today. The first pitch was about Clara Denzel that doesn't really fit in at her new school. Later, she finds that her life turns around when she joins a band. The second pitch is about a girl that moves into a new town with her mom, but the town isn't what it seems. When strange occurrences, weird visions occur, she soon discovers the secret to the town. The very first idea we considered making into a pitch was about Clara Denzel. But there were a few things that we didn't like about the pitch. The first being that we would need to record at a school for the setting of the movie, which we were only not allowed to do for this task. Second, we wanted to make the opening scene of the main character playing the guitar, but we don't have access to a guitar. Third, we would need a lot more actors to make a school setting come to life and actually look realistic, which isn’t attainable. And finally, we wanted to get the rights to use a song from the band Sleeping With Sirens, but we couldn’t be certain we could get the song in time. Overall, this pitch had a lot of obstacles that we would have had to work around to get the movie done. When we came up with the other pitch, we had a spooky, creepy theme in mind. There were many things we liked about this idea. For example, we wanted to film in a forest and there happens to be a forest next to my house. Also, we wanted the film to feature a mom and a daughter, which will work out perfectly with me joining our group. When my partners and I were discussing the idea, we brainstormed many camera angles and shots that we could include. When we came up with the ideas, it made us super excited. All of us could see the vision and could see ourselves filming this pitch in the future. Our final decision was to go with the second pitch!
