Pitch

Before we started filming our Opening Sequence for out thriller, we had to present a pitch to our teachers.

We had to discuss our original plot with of our film. Our original idea was a Hansel and Gretel themed thriller, involving parents leaving their children in danger because of financial situations. Although this was our original plan, we went on to changing it as we thought our new idea was a lot more appropriate.

Our new plot ended up being about a woman, who has murdered her fiance for unknown reasons and throughout the film she tries to move on with life, but her past begins to haunt her and is slowly revealed.

In our pitch we revealed that we would film in Highgate woods and around the London bridge area. Our setting did not change. We chose these settings because we felt that Highgate woods would give a scary edgy feel to the opening. We chose London bridge because it is a calm urban area that fitted with the woman's lifestyle and character.

We also had to discuss safety aspect when presenting our pitch. These were things such as; DONT film in the rain, DONT touch the lens with your fingers, DO keep the camera in its case when were not using it, DO always remember to cover the lens when not using it.

We did a rough story board to give an idea of what our opening would look like. in this storyboard we had to display different shot to capture our characters in different angles. Each shot would be shot with a Point Of Vue shot, Close Up, Over Shoulder Shot, Pan, Long shot and some others.

Our pitch made us realise that we did have some faults in our plan such as the story line. It gave us the chance to go over our plan and change it so that it was improved. One we made these changes we had a clear idea of what to start doing first.
