Initial Pitch and Feedback

Above is an audio recording of CAM RAW pitching our final film idea to our peers, followed by their feedback and possible improvements that could be made to the film.

From listening to the initial pitch, we have already decided to drop the knife as a weapon, as we don't plan on showing any weapons in the opening. There also won't be any horror as such in the opening.

As an aside, we have been contemplating having her wake up on a sofa, rather than in bed. We feel that this may be more realistic in one sense, since it will be like she has passed out in the room, however we also prefer the idea of her being in her bedroom since it will add a personal touch, give the girl character and emotion and the audience may feel that they can relate to that more. When filming, we may film both and compare the two, possibly even asking for audience and peer feedback on both as to which they prefer.

We have also added in a small part to the scene where she wakes up. Her phone vibrating on the desk will wake her, with a missed call from an unknown number.

Mr. Hood mentioned Prezi during the pitch. Although we may not use it in our film, we hope to use it as a way of presenting research or information on the blog.

He also talked to us about using a camera in a steam-filmed bathroom and the clarity of the text on the screen. If we can't use the shower screen, we will try the mirror or possibly a shampoo/shower gel bottle. There was also a reminder to make sure we don't write the credit backwards!

We were all very please with the initial score of 8/10, so we don't plan on changing the story too heavily at the moment. Hopefully, once the initial cut is filmed, we can get more feedback and make any changes we feel are necessary.
