Group: Pitch Feedback

The Foreshadowing

Strengths

• Our context is very strong, we have a clear idea of the storyline behind our opening sequence and therefore we can construct our shots easily, having an idea of how we want them to look.
• We have a lot of influences from psychological horror films which have inspired us to create our opening sequence, this will go in our favour as we will have lots of shots to select from.
• We managed to incorporate a variety of ideologies and representations of our characters within our pitch, to illustrate how they are going to be communicated to an audience clearly.

Weaknesses

• We have a lot of content to try and fit into a time limit of 2 minutes. This could prove to be a struggle to fit every shot into the sequence without going over the time limit, therefore we will need to make some adjustments as a group to decide the exact shots we wish to include.
• The only question we received at the end of our pitch was that our idea sounded like it was meant to be within the middle of a film, instead of at the beginning. We need to take this comment on board and make our opening seem like it is the beginning of a film by including opening credits and integrating a title scene.
• One concept we were lacking within our pitch was the development of technical aspects we are going to include within our opening sequence. From this feedback, we have now gained a wide knowledge about what types of shots we are going to include (e.g. low angled shots to create a sense of authority) and what movements (e.g. pan and track).
