After the pitch we received feedback from our peers, lots of questions about our methods were asked and overall feedback was positive, the group seemed to like our idea and wanted to see what we could do with it.
Our Pitch: _____________________________
We were firstly given feedback on our title, at the time of the pitch the production did not have a title, Charlie gave us the suggestion of "Downward Spiral", which we decided to use as our title, it is appropriate to the genre of Drama/Thriller. The plot for the opening is of the murder of the protagonist's brother and if the production was to be full length then it would show the downward spiral of the protagonist after the death of his brother, battling bouts of depression and social issues.
Our second piece of feedback came from Toby, who asked us about how we would make the production believable, the murder was the main part in question. The actual murder would not be seen by the audience, only the aftermath. The believable aspect would come from the reactions of the family having just witnessed the news report regarding the brother's death. Another aspect that would be believable would be the details given in the news report, there would be police on scene and the body would not be on show, instead being covered by a sheet and investigated by forensics teams, similar to how the police would handle an actual murder scene. The news report itself was also questioned, news reports are not an easy thing to do , the recording of them is not the hardest part but editing it into the film, matching the size of a television screen and adding the various panels that news reports have is challenging. One possible solution for the issues with editing the news report is not showing the video but rather show a clip of the family watching the television with the audio from the news report playing, allowing for a reaction shot of the family.
