Film Pitch

Before you are placed in your groups you will be preparing a film pitch to your group (don't get too attached as it may not be chosen).

One slide/frame/paragraph for each, be visual and creative!
( ppt, prezi, animoto, voicethread, drawings, music etc )

- Create a visual moodboard of similar films and influences
-  Include Video inspirations?- Title (with font ideas incorporated)
- Genre (how are you applying the conventions?)
- Target Audience
- Setting (name the various locations and/or anything day/night or time specific)
- Themes
- Icons
- Narrative
- Character profiles
- Textual Analysis - ideas on camera, sound, editing, effects, costumes/props
- Representation - class, age, gender, ethnicity, regionalism etc
- Institution - who would produce and distribute this film and why? What innovative advertising and marketing techniques will you use (think Carrie telekinesis in coffee shop

Your group will then decide on the best and most realistic idea, you will add and tweak it in order to present to the rest of the class who will be looking for:

Feedback will be based on:

CONTEXT
