Our Thriller: The Pitch

As part of 'Cam Raw! Productions' I can now reveal that my group & I have come up with the idea for our thriller. Below is an audio file containing our pitch & feedback from the members of our media class. The research that myself & the other members of 'Cam Raw' did, helped us to come up with our idea & decide what conventions to include/challenge in our thriller.

 

Basically, our pitch was to explain our idea to other groups in order to gain feedback & advice. I feel that this session helped us to expand & improve on our idea. From this session I found the following pieces of advice useful & I will be using them when we are planning, filming & editing our final 2minute opening.

- 9minutes, 45seconds: Mr Hood points out that we need to make clear to the examiner that the girl is going to be in a white dress in order to portray her to the audience as the victim.
11minutes, 20seconds: Mr Hood suggests that we use Prezi in order to film the credits which include the polaroids as this could help us overcome any camera problems we may come up against.
- 12minutes, 12seconds: Mr Hood points out that the condensation could be tricky to film as camera's & water don't really mix together very well. Suggestions for how to overcome this followed later in the discussion.
- 13minutes, 17seconds: Mr Hood makes the point that we need to experiment with the make-up before hand as if we get it wrong then it could look more comical than 'thriller-like'.
- 13minutes, 40seconds: Mr Hood tells us that we could have problems with the condensation shots because we could either write the writing backwards, or the writing will not be legible. One of the other problems we could have is that it might run before we get the shots of it. To overcome this he has suggested that we test out some shots before the real movie, in order to give us time to come up with a different idea.
- 14minutes, 35seconds: Adam suggests that we could fade the shot & colour the text in order to make the condensation readable for viewers
- 14minutes, 49seconds: Mr Hood agrees that this is a good idea & suggests that we might need to experiment with Motion if we can't find another way
- 15minutes, 30seconds: Final point! Mr Hood picks up on the fact that before our pitch their was slight tension between the members of our group, which has since been solved & all group members are 100% on board with our idea.
