Film Pitch... Somnium

Welcome back! Today, I will discuss, feedback and evaluate my film pitch! 

FILM PITCH... SOMNIUM

Our pitch was based around the discussions that we had before the process of making the logo and the team name. We wanted to fully outline the points we wanted to consider early on in the process of the film. In which, we outlined these considerations:

  • The meaning of the name of the film.
  • The protagonist.
  • The antagonist.
  • Any other characters that feature.
  • Conventions that we are going to use.
  • Conventions that we are going to challenge. 
  • Location, props and time. 
  • Our narrative.
  • Target Audience Profile.
  • Titles with our logo design.
With many discussions and planning we used prezi to create an animated presentation in which gave the pitch that essence of a journey. With this, I used the colours from our logo in order to portray a colour scheme to the audience at the same time. 

Here is our pitch! 


FEEDBACK

With this pitch came a lot of feedback which was more directed towards our narrative. First of all, we were questioned on our lighting choices. With this, we were criticised on the option to just use a lamp as our light source to achieve low-key lighting. In which, we discussed in our group that we are going to film the product within the day and post edit the footage so that the video takes the look of being set at night.

Next, we were criticised on our opening of the opening... if that makes sense. It was suggested that we outline that the protagonist and the antagonist are university students by using an establishing shot of a university and then showing a conversation between the two characters. Because of this, we will add this due to the fact that there is evidence of an equilibrium at the beginning of the film.


With this feedback we can now discuss and plan key areas before filming the main product including location, costume design and scripts. Overall, we are content to add this to our plans and therefore create an even better main product that what we originally were going to make!

Next time: I will be discussing recording of sound on location!
