Record of target audience’s pitch

The majority of the response from our audience was positive. They were impressed with the idea and seemed to understand that we didn’t intend to make this a stereotypical horror-thriller, that we were looking for a subtle way to show the audience our perspective of a gentlemen with such horrific intentions in life. The main body of the class commended us and wondered how we were going to do this. We replied saying that they would find out when they watch it. In this pitch we didn’t want to give the “game away”. This is the opening to a psychological-thriller and the main convention found in hybrid genres such as this is mystery, suspense and sense of anguish that they have a feeling as to know what COULD happen but they don’t.

The less positive however constructive section of the class were concerned to our time frame. They thought our aspirations to make this were too steep however I think they’ll be pleasantly surprised when they watch the result. Both teachers in our class seemed intrigued with the idea and were keen to watch it themselves so to conclude I think we should be happy with the decision we made. I, myself thought that this pitch may have sounded slightly to steep because I knew as a group that we were all perfectionists and we certainly didn’t want to hand in any footage that we thought wouldn’t send across the message we were intending or any shots we weren’t happy with due to shoddy editing etc.
