Planning- Pitch Feedback



Action Plan in response to Pitch Feedback:

  • Research artists and copyright free music to incorporate a musical genre in to the film without the need of the lead actor having to sing/play music himself within the trailer.
  • Research as many ways/conventions on how to convey fame. Watch other short films with a similar musical genre as mine.
  • Consider adding a twist to the story line to avoid typical route to the top style narrative.

Action Plan- Week 1

This week we have given a pitch to the class and got feedback from the class on what they think of our idea for our film. From our feedback we realised that we needed to be able effectively convey 'fame'. At this present time we haven't thought about how to portray 'fame' in our film. Over the next few weeks we hope to resolve this.

Our plan for the rest of the week is to watch trailers that will help us understand trailer conventions such as quick cuts, voice overs and text between clips. By analysing this we should be able to include these things in our own product.

Planning- Initial Ideas

Our first idea was a trailer for a feature film about a young man searching for fame via a path into the music industry. This main character has very little going for him in his life, as he his not wanted by his family and has been forced on to the streets to find his own way in life. His only possession is his beloved acoustic guitar. The trailer is centered around showing how this main character finds his way to fame, in a long and tough journey which has many ups and downs along the way, which includes a chance to record a single for next to nothing, to suddenly being propelled to mass fame and attention almost over life. This is a story of a man who had nothing, to having everything.

Our second idea is also a film trailer centered around a group of professional thieves who break in to facilities to collect data for whoever pays them too. The trailer shows each of the four main characters within this group, the hacker who operates behind the desk, the driver, the dealer who supplies all the necessary I.D and the team leader who goes in to retrieve the data. The trailer will reveal the main story line plot where this group of thieves are set-up by king-pin character where they must escape a high perimeter building armed heavily with defenses. An action thriller movie.
