(Beth Braine and Sam Cook)
Our task: to create a film pitch to practice genre conventions.
Any difficulties? Trying to find ideas for the story plots and actors/actresses for all the characters was challenging but once we found them, it really came together.
Feedback from our picth:
Relevant/Intriguing/Catchy Film Title? Some said it doesn't give much away, others said it was short and explains the film. Most said it was relevant and intruging and could be remembered.
Interesting characters and appropriate cast? Most said 'yes' and agreed our characters seem intersting, an improvement suggested was to have a few younger characters.
Was interest created for the audience? Enigma codes? Most said 'yes' and that we included a lot of enigma codes.
Narrative suitable for target audience? Will it attract customers? Most said 'yes', it would attract the target audiencde.
Does the narrative fit the genre? Conventions in place? Most said 'yes' and that is was imaginative, an improvement suggested was to make it a bit less action-y.
Is the film different? Most said 'yes' or 'partly', one said they had seen it done before.
Good ideas for marketing the film? Most said 'yes' the ideas for marketing were good, one said it wouldn't work due to programmes making it easy for people to pirate, a good point.
Would you buy the film rights? Most said 'yes' - one said maybe after deliberation.
