Our Pitch

Pitch A: A teen girl fakes her emotions throughout her day and has a mental breakdown at home secretly liking it. Then she finds and notices two unexpected things. 

My group and I found this pitch very intriguing and doable unlike pitch B because of location limitations. We think that this pitch is exciting and has a plot that is not seen often. We liked the unexpected factors and the concealing aspect of the pitch. We can picture creating this pitch in a film and have already planned out details by just talking about it. Also, we do not truly have any limitations with this pitch, we can expand on it and be creative. We thought that the beginning part of the pitch that states that a girl fakes her emotions is something that we can relate to and have been through allowing us to feel more comfortable with executing this pitch. We like that it is not basic and expands on how mental health truly impacts adolescents.

 

Pitch B: A teen girl’s emotionally challenging life is documented from the moment she wakes, goes to school, and gets home. She will find herself throughout. 

My group and I had mixed emotions about this pitch and after thinking carefully about which choice to make between the two pitches, we decided to go with pitch A. This was due to many reasons, one of which being the fact that pitch A was more exciting. Pitch B seemed too generic and boring, too much like many other coming of age movies. It would not excite many viewers since so many other movies have similar plots. Pitch A, on the other hand, is more one of a kind. Neither my group members nor I have ever heard of a movie that follows the same plot as this one. In addition to this, pitch B would be harder to film since we are not allowed to film in on the school premises. While it is possible, my group and I feel it would be confusing and unusual if we filmed a coming-of-age movie about a teenager entering high school, without being able to show the teenager actually in high school. 

My group and I decided to go with pitch A of a girl that hides her true feelings and later releases them at home. While she is having a “meltdown” and liking it she notices weird messages.
