Our Pitch

In this pitch we talked about two ideas.

The first where the boss is in her room. The two assassins walk into the room and sit down without speaking a word. The boss gives them a photo of the target to be killed. The assassins ask for a price and the boss gives them an price. Finally the assassins nod again, get up and leave.

The second being the victim is packing up her bags and trying to leave her home. There is a shot of both the assassins walking towards the house. A protector to the victim tells the victim that it is time to leave the house. The first assassin tells the second one to stay behind to check for the victim and he does. The Assassin walks into the house and fights the protector while the victim runs out the back door. The victim walks down the street and passes the second assassin while he is distracted.

One of the issues raised was that the film seemed a bit stereotypical, because of the simple plot of someone running away that most action thriller films use.

To fix this, a slight change to the story can be made to add some complexity to it.

Another issue that was raised was that we might simply show just someone packing up and running without context. If we were to use the second idea, then to fix this we must add a small scene to the beginning of our opening where it shows why the assassins are chasing the victim.

The second idea was voted to be the better idea out of the two. I think that this feed back shows that we should use that idea because of the better reception that it got.

In conclusion, the changes we must make are this, if we were choosing to do the first film opening, then we must add some complexity to the plot, such as adding more characters, and for the second film opening we must add some context to the beginning of the film.

There's not different between parents and no-parents in each genre. And the demographics in socil class are the same for each genre, class C1 and C2.

Me and my group.

I'm in a group with, Andrew, Lara and Alex. i chose these people to work with because i think we have good communication and that we would be able to bounce ideas off each other quite well. Also the fact that we are of different nationalities means that we would be able to draw on alot more styles and ways of performing our work. We chose to do an action scene, we did this because we though that this could really test our ability and push us to get a higher grade, we all also like this genre so we think that it would be good for us to do action.
