Narrowing down our pitches

         We have narrowed down our movie idea options from three to two. We decided to not do the deadly paintball game idea. It would be too expensive and could be unsafe. It is also in a location that is far, so filming at a time when everyone is available would be very hard. Reshooting would also be very hard to do because of the paintball park’s location and admission fee. Our other ideas are stronger and more interesting. They are also much easier to film and edit. There are two remaining pitches, the one about a mystery kidnapper and the one about a ghost. It is very hard to decide which one we should use as our final. Both have many pros and cons and our group is not unanimous.
    For our first pitch, we feel like it would have a more interesting plot. But it’s not perfect. The cons of this pitch are that we would have to film at night, making it harder for us to get good lighting or shots. Since it’s also late at night, where we would need to shoot it in downtown Hollywood may be packed. The Pros for this pitch, however, is about how much we can make out of it. The costumes are really easy to make and the location is close to where we live.
     For the second pitch, it is probably one of the easiest for us to do. The pros are that the plot is simple and the part that we are shooting is only in a house. We are not going to film any scenes with someone driving, like one of the other pitches so we won’t need any adult Supervision. On the contrary, the story might be a little too bare and might be somewhat boring. Another con is that the story we have at the moment has too much of a short story feel, not like the first 2 minutes of a movie like it should have been.
     Our final decision was tough but we ended up coming to a conclusion that we feel will be the most beneficial towards giving us and that A level grade. With careful consideration, we decided to create the kidnapping pitch. There was something about this pitch that made it stand out from the rest and as a group, we can make this idea into an awesome clip. Now that we’ve decided that this is a definite pitch we can get to work out the critical parts. Another benefit when choosing this pitch is that we use a truck for effects. This will enhance our clip and make it more unique. The inclusion of the truck makes the pitch far better than the others. All of our previous projects have prepared us so we can do as well as we possibly can on this one. It’s between Cambridge and us now. It’s just a matter of meeting all our deadlines and making the best video we can.
