Our Pitch

 Pitch 1: An unsolved murder and family quarrels lead two investigators down a string of missing persons. 

Pitch 2: Three teens on spring break document their exploration of a deserted building. Yet none are seen again; here is their footage.

We already knew that we wanted to make an interesting opening sequence so we came up with a few ideas. We would want to make Pitch 1 because of how creative we can get with our opening sequence. Even though that pitch one in film and media may have been done a lot, we feel as though we can create something different. We also feel as that it would open more creative ideas for a project like this while the other one wouldn’t and would kind of restrict us on what we could and couldn’t do.  I think we would want to make this one because it has been done so much, we can look at the conventions within the genre and use that to help portray a unique story not seen yet inside the genre.  We all agreed that pitch one would be the best one to make out of the two pitches. 

One thing about Pitch Two we would want to make it because the found footage films in media have not really been see to much in recent years. The only movies that comes to mind is ‘The Blair Witch Project’, that being said the remake was made in 2016 and the original in 1999. So the style is pretty rare to be seen. However, we wouldn’t really want to do it because of the restrictions it could impose on us. Another reason it could impose on us is the lack of conventions to actually use, because of the lack of films in this style. Unlike the other one there is less movies within this group so that could make it hard for us to reference conventions within it. 

Overall we all think the best idea here is to go with pitch one.
