Feedback from Matt
In our recent lesson we presented our idea to Matt who gave us helpful feedback and some constructive criticism.
We pitched our idea to him using a powerpoint that Shaun had constructed.
He explained that in the very first scene of a film you have to create the 'world' of the film and introduce the personality and skillset of the protagonist in order to show what they are capable of and set up the action of the rest of the film.
He also pointed out that the fact that our idea requires 2 different locations could be slightly tricky since we get a limited amount of filming time but that it should not be a huge hindrance. However our setting of 'Office' is problematic because there isn't a feasible location we can use for it and therefore we decided to change the character of Secretary to the Accountant's Wife. This way we can just set her end of the conversation in a kitchen in one of the boarding houses.
He liked the idea of having a phone conversation as the central plot device with one character holding all the information that the person on the other end is unaware of.
We used his feedback to modify our idea. In order to build a quicker representation of the protagonist (the Killer) for the audience in this opening scene, we are going to add a shot of him shooting one of the Henchmen because he gets blood on the Killer's shoes to show that he is not fully stable or sane. As mentioned above, we have also changed the character of Secretary to Wife and location of office to kitchen.
This is the powerpoint that we used for the pitch :
