Pitches

Pitch 1- A young Black girl witnesses the brutal murder of her best friend and goes on the path of getting justice. 

This idea was suggested by myself-Kayla, and it seems interesting. It would be easy to pick a setting and costumes would be regular clothes, making it a simpler job. It would also be easy to access any practical effects needed, which would mostly involve blood. They would also need to involve atmospheric sounding, which will be discussed later. It would require a lot of planning to incorporate the required shots, but it is possible. One worrying aspect is a backup plan. If the weather does not cooperate we could just move to another day, but we’re unsure of how that would work out. The script wouldn’t pose much of an issue and props would be minimal. The editing would probably be standard difficulty. 

Pitch 2- A group of friends decide to explore an abandoned toy factory. At first, it's fun, but the secrets unveiled prove to be fatal. 

 This pitch is also interesting, but requires more intricate planning. We would need to find an abandoned building and arrange filming times. This could be upended by transportation or parental intervention. It would also require props(like toys and flashlights) and more acting and filming. It would require the same costumes and has an equally difficult backup plan. We’re not sure of how many abandoned buildings are in our area and they also probably have restrictions on who can enter. There is also the issue of proper lighting and audio pick up, since our actors would need to be saying things to each other. Voiceovers could be a feasible option, though. 

The pitch that we chose was pitch one, because it would be easier to film and would be an effective pitch for our final task.
