We have Chosen our pitch!

Our group has narrowed down our pitches to two instead of three! We have decided to discard “he never wanted to go back, and for a second he thought he got out. In reality he never escaped” because our idea for it was shaping to be more like a sequel then anything else. And we didn’t want to make a sequel. The pitches left to choose from include: 

• Step 1: Find the Chosen One

 Step 2: Make Chosen One fix problems

 Step 3: ....Find new Chosen One

• They made me forget, but now that I remember, I guess I should be more subtle the before, eh? I’m back baby!

The first of the two pitches is the Chosen One pitch. In this pitch, a person wakes up in a forest, unaware of how they got there. They discover that they are the Chosen One! And suck at it. It can be interpreted as fantasy, which all three of us find interesting. It will be good to have this middle ground of something we all can be creative with. While inspirational, the idea is pretty vague, so with so many ideas of what to do, it could be hard to decide on just one. It will take time, but I believe we can do it. We might have to incorporate heavy costumes and makeup, which can also be hard. We might also have an issue with actors, but I think we can bring it down to only two or three, as it is just the beginning of the story. While there are pros and cons, this might be the most manageable pitch, and the one we can all get on board with.

Then there’s the other pitch: the one about how the guy is “back baby!” We have a sort of villain story here, where the hero’s suppressed the main actors(villain) memories. In the two minutes we would show him sad, like something’s missing, then him reawakening his powers, eventually getting stopped by the heroes. We also have another version where he didn’t have his memories suppressed and he tried to figure out his powers(where the camera would be handheld by the actor). While he does have powers, we wouldn’t add any special effects, just using the power of editing instead. In that aspect, it would be easy. However, in other aspects(like plot and keeping people interested), isn’t so easy. While, if we worked on it some more we could probably come up with something, at the moment, it isn’t too appealing. We would probably incorporate some elements of this into the other pitch if we don’t end up using it. Like the special effects of editing.

Drumroll please! And our final pitch is.....The Chosen One pitch! While both of these pitches have their pros and cons, some of them similar, the Chosen One pitch is something we all have a passion for. The cheeky villain type wasn’t for everyone in our group, and I’d rather have something we all want to work with. Hopefully we can end up making this our best project yet! We do have our differences, but we have decided to keep working together instead of giving up on each other. It’s nice to start off on the right foot here. I’m definitely excited to get working on the next step.
