Following the pitch

After presenting my idea for my film trailer, I am now working on my actors contract, call sheet and production schedule. Also the location permission for the filming to take place. These documents will allow me to be efficient when filming and also the actors will know where they need to be and at what times. I have also decided the start date for filming this will be 13th of Feburary.

Pitch Evaluation

I carried out my pitch on the 17/1/12. This is where i presented my idea for my horror film, to see whether i could go ahead with my idea. From this i was given the go ahead but also i received some critical analysis from my pitch and how it could have been better these were; to have showed a film trailer already made as part of my secondary research for my genre, and talked about how i will use the codes and conventions of that trailer in my horror film.
Also i needed to talk about my target audience in a lot more detail from the findings of my primary research. I needed to include the pyscographics of my audience which i could have asked in my focus group, however from secondary research and talking to friends that are in my age for my audience, i have gathered that the hobbies would be socialising in their sare time also just having a film and a takeaway and a night in, so my horror trailer would appeal for a socialising event as horror films would usually be watched in groups.
                   My advertising research needed to contain more i did not ask my audience weatehr they would like to see the film advertised via the internet. However i gathered this needed information through secondary research and people withing the age group that a website is one of the best ways to advertise my film. My storyboards could have also been clearer and more decriptive about the type of shot being used. Also within my exploratory work I could have showed a clip of the location I am filming in.
