Short Film Pitch

This is a recording of a pitch me and my group did for our short film. We did this pitch in front of three people, our teacher a teachers assistant and a man from the BBC. We had to do all of our pre production to get ready for this pitch. I put together the PowerPoint for our group with things and information we all collected separately or found together, this played behind us while we gave our pitch. We all prepared little cue cards to prompt us on what to say about our film and so we knew which person was going to say what when. This helped a lot when we pitched our idea back to someone because we could hear someone else's opinion and also hear the things we had done wrong when we said them. I learnt a lot from this and realised how much work it is to produce a film and make sure everything is right before you start the production. We went back and edited some of our pre production after this pitch so our production would be more professional. We did this pitch to give us an idea of what doing an actual one for an idea of ours would be like. We showed and talked about a budget, our idea, actors, props, costume everything we would used if we had money, a team and our film had been commisioned to be made professionally. It took us about 2 weeks to prepare for this and it hepled a lot, we got lots of feedback from the man from the BBC which was good because he has ecperience in watching pitches and being in the media industry. Our pitch lasted about 16 minutes overall with the questions from the people watching us. i think this is a reasonable time to keep one going and to explain enough what our idea is and get some interested. i fI were to do another with a real idea I wnated to persue I would make sure I had the same or even moe confidence to talk about my idea. I would make sure I had thought through every actor I chose and made sure my idea came across interesting for people.
