Pitch & Pitch Feedback

In class, we presented our Pitch, where we had to present our idea to the class who would then give us feedback on the overall plot and also our research.

Whilst starting off our presentation, we presented the log line of our film. This was a brief overview of our film, left with unanswered questions at the end so that we were able to get the pupils interested to keep listening.

Having everyone paying attention, we offered our plot. The plot however was again just an overview; not a very detailed but enough to make everyone understand the story. Moving on from the plot, we explained our Lead Characters, Jenna and Ryan, to them in more detail so that they knew what kind of personality, likes and dislikes and from what class they belonged from.

With the ideas of the film and their characters done, we needed to talk about more of the researching side we had done, starting with the audience. We explained that we had chosen females between 16-25 years for our target audience, due to them growing up with watching romantic movies and also being more soft hearted. Furthermore we had to inform them of the females we would be targeting would mainly be in the working class or under.

Whilst researching for the budget of our whole film, we came to a conclusion that we would roughly need about 9 million U.S. Dollars, which would roughly equal 6 million British Pounds. Further on we presented our 'Unique Selling point', the 'Language' and setting of our film, including the equilibrium of this story. Also we presented our inspirations for the film through the Productions and Industry.

When we finished we were asked a few questions by the class and our teacher, one being that why we were risking of breaking conventions as it could be risky with the audience accepting it or not. The answer to this was very simple. We want to present something new and exciting to our audience which they would not be used to however due to it being different to other Rom-Com's this film would not easily leave their mind.

Another question which we were asked, was why were targetting that specific audience of ours, and not the higher social standing people as they have more money. The answer to this was that those higher standing people have jobs which take up most of their time and also they would rather enjoy film's or show's related to their profession. For examples, Lawyers would enjoy watching the show called 'Suits' rather than a teen drama. However the group which we are targetting is the working class who have weekends and evenings off, leaving them enough time and freedom to watch and enjoy a film. Also they seem more of the 'casual' type who would talk about recent movies with their friends.
