  After completing research for 3 different genres, we had all the information we needed to decide which one we would be using. This decision was not a simple one since this would be a very crucial choice for the entirety of the film. Therefore, we decided on making a film on Sci-fi. Sci-fi not only is enjoyable to watch, but also has endless outcomes. For other genres such as horror, there is a very well-known plot that every movie covers. The main character gets chased by the antagonist and eventually survives and kills it. Sci-fi allows us to be unique and creative and truly create an original film. Furthermore, having no boundaries. was extremely important to us. Additionally sci-fi is straight forward to film. The camera angles are generic with occasional overhead shots to show the landscape. In most Sci-fi films they show the setting multiple times as it plays key factors later. We think Sci-fi is going to be the focus of the film but will try and add comedy and jokes. Having...

Pitch 1: Two friends have a horrifying experience in the woods, when they encounter a bloodthirsty creature just as all their flashlights stop working. We really liked the idea of this pitch. When brainstorming we were set on creating a scary and thrilling film. We like the idea that they are stranded at night with no lights and being chased. Sadly, trying to film this is an extreme challenge. We would need an excessive number of props and CGI that we cannot get our hands on. In the future this film idea will not be as much of a challenge. Benefits of this film are that we all live near the woods and have access to the woods. The location was not a problem, just the events inside of the woods is what made this pitch incredibly challenging to complete as our film. Pitch 2 :  A  group of friends play hide and seek but when one of them hides in the closet years have passed and he is presumed dead. This pitch really can go anywhere. We all enjoyed the fact of having an open p...
