Final Pitch

For our final project we have narrowed down two pitches. The first is called Hit(Wo)man and is about a jealous friend who goes to the extremes to protect her friend from a guy that she deems "unworthy". The second pitch we narrowed it down to was "235" a film about the aftermath of a nuclear disaster in a small town where investigators uncover a terrifying secrets pre-disaster that led up to the destruction. For the Hit(Wo)man pitch, we talked about how simple the plot would be. A woman goes to psychopathic lengths to keep her friend away from a guy due to her having secret feelings for her friend. Since the project required our product to be two minutes long, establishing the story and setting should be easy and the anticipation of what the protagonist is going to do would keep the audience engaged and wanting more of the story. Shooting of this production would not require a lot of makeup, costumes, or props. Establishing characteristics of the mis en scene of the film would be practical. The setting of the film would be regular streets and shopping centers that displays the outrageous nature of the protagonist by showing scenes of her sabotaging and stalking her friend. The second pitch is going to be an ominous interview of a nuclear disaster surviver who gets slowly convinced by the doctors to reveal the realities of how the nuclear disaster started. Opening scene of the film will invoke sense of ambiguity. However, after much debate and increased foresight, we decided that the premise of the movie is too closely correlated to the HBO show “Chernobyl”.
