The group pitch, Feedback

When we showed our pitch for our intended project (The Recluse) we received some mixed reviews, both good and bad. The audience we showed said that there was not enough visual evidence of what we wanted our killer to look like. This was because we had mainly only written descriptions of the killers features, props, and what other important elements looked like. We have decided to add in a slide for inspiration for our killer, and pictures that show the audience what we want our killer to look like and what films we have gained ideas from. These images include the mask used in ‘Dead Man Shoes’ which is one of our biggest inspirations in creating a British thriller, horror. We also added images of what we wanted our killers costume to look like, for example we obtained a picture of a smart suit and surgical clothes which are the main features of our killers costume. Another thing that we was criticised on was the lack of summary of the entire plot, this problem can be easily fixed and we will be adding a new slide entirely dedicated to the plot of our film.

We was told that we showed and presented our presentation on our movie very well, this lead to our audience being very engaged in the pitch and liking our ideas, they believed that a production company would be very interesting in buying our film and putting it onto there channel. We believe that a production company like Film4 or Warp would be engrossed inour film. Also they admired our dedication to go out to our locations which aren’t easy places to get to and are spread around Ware and surrounding villages.

After receiving our feedback we have decided we have to make a number of changes to our pitch in order for it to be to of an accepted standard by a production company like Warp, we mainly need to add in a plot summary and more images to illustrate the effects and atmosphere we want to create for our film.
