Group Pitch

Audience Feedback

 most important piece of feedback was the name of the movie. We struggled to come up with a fitting name before our pitch and so it was stressed that we quickly need to find one which will give the impression that our film is a thriller. We therefore began to discuss names such as destruction, decimation and bloodbath.

We were also advised to remove the scene where an arm is hanging out of a bloody bath as this would be too much action in one short opening and will reveal too much of the film. Although we originally thought this would create a tense atmosphere, we rethought the idea and are no longer featuring dead bodies in our opening as there will be too much going on.

We also had the idea of a diegetic background noise of voicemails. However, as our protagonist is a teenage boy, he will instead be checking the voicemails on his mobile phone rather than the house phone as young teenagers do not typically check their house voicemails.

We also had the suggestion to begin with tense music in order to establish the thriller genre at the start of the opening.
