Group : Pitch Feedback

Overall the pitch went very well. We got very good feedback from the class. Lots of the questions that were raised we have responded to.

• One key issue that was raised is how we will get the bone to move. We decided prior to this that we will use fishing line as it almost invisible especially in the dark gloom of our set.
• When the girl is moving around the room we are going to use jump cuts to fade her in and out of shot. We will also use jump cuts to show individual objects around the room moving.
• We have now completed our location recce which unfortunately we were unable to do prior to the pitch due to uncontrollable circumstances (lighting).
• Another issue that was highlighted was how we are planning to light all the candles using matches. We have decided to invest in buying a long candle lighter like the ones used in churches. This will combat the match issue whilst still maintaining a good horror feel for our film.  
• Unfortunately we are being forced to shoot the film during the winter. Ideally we would like to film in the spring but as this isn't an option we will be shooting in winter and taking advantage of certain winter aspects such as frosty grass to create an effect.
• We have decided to bring our titles into the film as the two main characters walk down the path towards the derelict structure. This is easy to introduce and can be very effective if done well.
• The sequence will open at the break of dawn. The sun just rising over the hill and the fresh dew of the morning still crisp.
• Inside the house it will be dark but light enough for all but the dark corners of the room to be seen.
• The cutting rate at first will be slow but it will increase in pace as the boys enter the trance.

Below is our pitch which we presented to the class. We will add a recording of us presenting the pitch once it has been uploaded to YouTube.
