final task pitches

So we have our 3 pitches for the final task. The first pitch is about a dude that passed out and woke up to be inside a forest. The second pitch is “They made me forget, but I remember now, guess I should be more subtle than before, eh?” . The third pitch is “He never wanted to leave, and for a second he thought he got out. In reality, he never escaped.” We decided that the third pitch was too much like a sequel type film. So we narrowed it down to the first and second pitch.

The first of the two pitches we narrowed down to is the chosen one pitch. it can be interperated as fantasy, which is very appealing to work with. This is because the costumes and script for the magical being would be fun to create. Moreover, this pitch is also a lot more inspirational than the other two. Whicb makes it easier to work with. However, the pitch isnt perfect. While inspirational, it is vague and too many ideas can make it hard to choose just one. Slowing down to choose just one idea of many takes too much time that we just don't have for this project. Next, while the costumes will be fun to make, getting fantasy clothing might be a little bit difficult, but not impossible. Actors, on the other hand, seems to be a mounting problem, with the time crunch. Conflicting schedules are something I've seen happen with other groups that forced them to rush on the editing process, and I have no wish to let our own group fall victims to. These pros and cons balance out pretty well with the pro of the idea being very fun, slightly outweighing the cons.



The second pitch: the one about how the guy is “back baby!” We have a sort of villain story here, where the hero’s suppressed the main actors(villain) memories. In the two minutes we would show him sad, like something’s missing, then him reawakening his powers, eventually getting stopped by the heroes. We also have another version where he didn’t have his memories suppressed and he tried to figure out his powers(where the camera would be handheld by the actor). While he does have powers, we wouldn’t add any special effects, just using the power of editing instead. In that aspect, it would be easy. However, in other aspects(like plot and keeping people interested), isn’t so easy. While, if we worked on it some more we could probably come up with something, at the moment, it isn’t too appealing. We would probably incorporate some elements of this if we don’t end up using it. Like the special effects of editing.
