Our pitch

Image
Pitch A: Two friends are hanging out in the yard when suddenly feel like they’re being watched. Pitch B: Three people on a raft fighting off a shark… Explanation A: We’re definitely more interested in this one. This one is also easier to do probably. We took this idea from horror movies we’ve seen growing up. Definitely excited. We think it’ll be great. The plan is to make it scary. Explanation B: This idea is awesome. We got the inspiration from Jaws. Jaws was an awesome movie. One problem though, this would be very hard to do. Sharks are very scary though and horror is what we want to do. Why we chose A: We decided to go with A for a few reasons. One is that it’s a lot easier to film on land than at sea on a raft. Another thing is we think the killer/stalker is scarier than a shark. We believe we can make something great out of this. We’re all very excited to begin researching the genre.

What elements (Conventions) of the genre did the movie have that you like?   I liked the close-ups on faces, hands, and trapped body parts, amplifying the characters' fear and the gruesome details of the traps. These close-ups heighten the audience's a...
