Pitch Reactions

Idea 1

Idea 1 was received relatively well but is too obvious and clichéd. It would be simple to film but wouldn’t appeal too much to the audience.

Problems

·         Filming in a forest would result in limited lighting and we would find it difficult to get it correct.

·         Using a dog means that it will be difficult making sure that the dog behaves in the desired way without acting up.  

We were advised to watch Paranormal Activity and The Blair Witch Project as they are similar films and filmed in similar ways. 

Idea 2

Idea 2 was received very well but many difficulties would be faced. It would be difficult to film but there would be a lot of appeal to it.

Problems

·         Filming in and around a football stadium at game time would be extremely difficult due to the noise and business of the stadium.

·         It would also be difficult to film without people getting in the way and interrupting the filming.

·         Filming someone getting stabbed with hundreds of people and many policemen around would be practically impossible.

We watched Football Factory and Green Street to give us inspiration.  

Idea 3

Idea 3 was received to be the best idea. Whilst it isn’t the most entertaining idea it had enough to excite the audience and it would be suitable enough to film.

Problems

·        Finding a deserted house we can use to film in is going to be rather difficult.

·        Making the deserted house believable and not so obviously fake would also be quite difficult.

We were advised to watch the first episode of Supernatural as it has a similar plot to our idea.
