Horror Movie Pitch feedback

From our pitch, we received a great deal of feedback regarding our initial idea, our plot and our locations.

During our pitch, we covered the following areas;

• Our choice of film Genre and why.
• The overall story of our trailer.
• Potential actors to star in our trailer.
• Potential locations where we could film our trailer.
• Possible props for our trailer.

Below are photographs of the group giving our Pitch.



From the feedback, we were told the following about our presentation;

• The fact we had chosen to do a horror film trailer about a supernatural creature was an interesting idea, and would probably be possible for us to do with out level of editing and acting practice
• The idea we had of the protagonist witnessing their own death was a good and unique one, which could be used to put a great deal of tension in the audience. This would further unnerve the audience when the protagonist's reaction could be seen.
• The use of the mirror, and similar shots were different, and would be unexpected which would help to scare/shock the audience.

 This raised ideas from our assessor and which we shall act upon for our action plan;

• Firstly, our assessor stated that a clone, or idea which links to this would be far better than the idea we initially had, and that this would allow us to unnerve our audience far more effectively.
• This idea surround the clones shouldn't be introduced in the trailer, or shouldn't be addressed until the end of the trailer if at all.
• This would allow us to show the protagonist's gradual descent into madness, as those around him do not believe him, and his paranoia and fear gradually grow. 
• This would also allow us to show the doubt in the protagonist's mind as to if he is actually committing the crimes without noticing.
• The clone/clones could be differentiated from the protagonist by varying clothes, and that could be it- they are otherwise indistinguishable from each other.
• The protagonist could also begin to act far more like the clones, helping to show their decent into madness, as they begin to doubt even their own actions.

In response to this, we shall look more into horror films about the topic of dual identity, and the idea of clones, such as Godsend or cloned. We shall also look into film trailers where the protagonist isn't trusted by anyone, and so has to act alone, so that we are able to work out how to convey this effectively in our trailer/.
