Reflection on Pitch

Whenever I made my pitch for my film I wanted to give it through a straight forward, to the point PowerPoint presentation as I believe putting it on a bigger scale rather a a piece of paper will allow me to engage with the people more and give it my own touch rather than having a load of words on a piece of paper.

So to begin with I finally decided to called my piece, "It's Over", as its a significant piece of text within the piece as its the only words we hear the girl say and this is when we see the girls escape from nightmare. So I think whenever I explained the meaning behind the title I got a good reaction from it because it doesn't even too much away and it isn't until the end where you understand the meaning of it which means the audience will be kept in suspense.

I then went on to describe what style I was planning on shooting in as I wanted it to be on the thin line of it being between the real world and a fairy tale, fantasy world. I explained how I wanted the real world to be like the barnardo adverts as it was the thing that gave me my idea :

 So dark, dirty

Girl is a mess








then I showed a photo of what I meant by the fairy tale world:

 So the light coming through the trees

 The sun that hides parts of the girl

The reflection from the river








After giving these examples and explaining the contrast of the two worlds I believe I done well as they began asking me of the locations and seemed happy enough with my ideas.

I then introduce my actress Megan McDowell, age 20. This was a girl I had previous worked with so I know what type of actress she is and believe she will fit into my characters role perfectly as she even looks the part.  Whenever I mentioned her available being good and the fact I trust her to not drop out gave my piece a great bonus as it meant I was able to get the job done and get it done right.  

Moving  on to my crew I had photos and the role each person was to carry out and having this organised and showing I had a team to support me showed I was ready to get started and not waste any more time.

Overall I believe I gave a well presented, professional and well informed pitch. I even had all my back up research to show I had looked into the topic at hand and wasn't just going on a hunch. If I was to do this again I would however add a few more photos and put a bit more text to show I wasn't making it up on the spot however still keeping it short enough to stay within the time limit.
