Pitch and Feedback

 

When we presented our pitch our teachers and our peers, they gave us some feedback.
Some of the things we could improve on are: 

• Include specific locations we plan to use and why.
• Discus our unique selling point.
• Talk about the props we plan to use and why.
• Link everything back to research.
• Don't include screams to the sound track as it is cliché and doesn't suit this particular genre.

We have taken this feedback on board and created some more sides that we should have attached to our original pitch.

We have planned to use empty and abandoned locations as in our research we found this element was used frequently. An example of this is 'The Abandoned' (2015). The setting is an abandoned apartment structure which is creepy and makes the audience question why it was abandoned in the first place. Thillers usually use locations that the audience will be able to relate to, eg. a house or school, as these are familiar to their everyday life. This is effective as the audience will be worried the event could take place in their home or school. An example of this is 'Girl on the train' (2016) because train users may be worried that these events may be repeated.
