Pitch feedback

The improvements below are from the feedback we got in class.


Pitch 1 improvements:
The unique selling point of this idea is that it is not like every other film I have seen it is different to other horrors.
Enigma's created:

• Why is the killer doing this?
• Why is the womans face scrathed out?
• Why are they all wearing the same dress?

Micro elements:
Sound:

• Diagetic- Actors talking (screaming), The wind and the trees this is called ambient sound.
• Non-Diagetic- Eeiry music. 

The lighting:

• The lighting will be low key when the killer visits the woman at her house so we will hope to set that during sunset to create suspense. Then in the room when the woman is scared and being held hostage the lighting is very low key to show that there is something wrong and the dead bodies are seen as a very bad thing.

The camera shots:

• Close ups to show the emotion of the woman and to show the tention between the killer and the woman.
• Maybe an establishing shot to set the scene but dont know where that would fit in.
• Medium close ups will be used to show the emotion closer up in the face of the actor when there is a tense moment.
• Point of view shot to show the dead bodies that the person is looking at.
• The focus shot will be used so that all the planes are seen by the audience.

The camera angles:

• High angle on the hostage to show that she is weak and in no powerful situation.
• Low angle to show that the killer is the most powerful in the shot and the frame.
• An arc shot to show the woman panicking and lost in the dark room so the camera will arc around her to show this.

The film is non- linear so that the opening two minutes is near the end of the film an when the film starts it will go back to the beginning to show why the killer is doing this.

Pitch 2 improvements:
Enigma's created:

• Why is the man tied up and got a saw going towards him?
• What has happened for this to happen to the man?

Micro elements:
Sound:

• Diagetic: The saw in the last 20 seconds and the actor shouting for help.
• Non-diagetic- All it is, is the music when the man is screaming and the music when the puictures come on screen for the first part.

Lighting:

• When the man is tied up it is low key lighting. And when the pictures come up when it is the husband and wife it is high key lighting and when it is the woman getting killed it is low key lighting. 

Camera shots:

• Close ups to show the mans emotions and the worry in his face.
• Establishing shot to show the scene and the set the mood of the film.

Camera angles:

• Point of view shot to show the saw.
• High angle shot used on the man to show that he is the weaker man in the scene.
