Mine and My Production Team's Short Films Evaluations

On the first day back we were thrown straight into it head first. We had to present our film pitches to the class and they were evaluated by our other class mates and Mr Hood. It was assessed on how practical it was, so if we could fit it into five minutes. Also it was assessed on how creative and original it was.

Seven deadly sins

Deanna's film idea pitch was about the seven deadly sins, as the title suggests. It starts with a christian man who is being slowly corrupted by the devil via the seven deadly sins. It started with greed which then fell into envy, then lust descended into gluttony and then sloth turned into wrath. Then pride over took and that turned him finally into the devil.

Mr hood in the end said that the pitch was very clever and it looked like there was a lot of time and effort had gone into the plot. But it sounded to hard to make and produce, so he said that it wasn't practical and may be too hard to make.

She also present the pitch well and spoke mostly fluently but sometimes she stumbles but it was still presented amazing well it was just the fact that it sounded like too much of a long shot to make it.

Mystery

Cameron's film idea pitch was about a murder mystery. It was about a boy that has a left a girls house and on the way home he encounters a couple of males and one of them ends up dead. After some questioning and interrogation the killer is revealed.
Everyone like this film pitch because it was interesting and hooked the target audience but there was a drawback of the killer needing a motive to killed someone and there wasn't a clear motive as to why one of them had killed the other. Also they thought it would have been mic to have a motto to the film but there wasn't one. Again this short though everyone thought that it might not be plause able to fit it into a five minute gap.

The silver lining 

This is my film pitch and it is about a boy that falls off his motorbike and falls into a coma. He walks around and looks into his house through the window but nobly sees him and then he realises that he is in a coma and he is having an out of body experience. Also things that happen to his body happen to him as well like they shine a light in his eyes and everything goes white and he can't see etc.

The only drawback was getting someone to fall off a motorbike safely and without injuring themselves, so the main part of the short wasn't practical.

Break

Charlotte's pitch was about more of a comical film. The plot was about a man who is pushed around all his life by his wife and work mates until one day he 'breaks' and starts acting like a child and throwing tantrums. 

I liked this idea and the humour would be possible and we could fit it into a five minute gap. But the pitch didn't have a power point and i think that it let the idea down but apart from that it sounded possible and effective.
