Narrowing down three pitches

   We have narrowed down our movie idea options from three to two. We decided to not do the deadly paintball game idea. It would be to expensive and could be unsafe. It is also in a location that is far, so filming at a time when everyone is available would also be very hard. Re shooting would also be very hard to do because of the location and admission fee. Our other ideas as of right now are stronger and more interesting. They are also much easier to film and edit. There are two remaining pitches, the one about a mystery kidnapper and the one about a ghost. It is very hard to decide which one we should use as our final. Both have many pros and cons and our group is not unanimous.
     For the second pitch, it is probably one of the easiest for us to do. The pros are that the plot is simple and the part that we are shooting is only in a house. We are not going to film any scenes with someone driving, like one of the other pitches so we don't need any adult supervision. On the contrary, the story might be a little to bare-bones and might be somewhat boring. Another con is that the story we have at the moment has to much of a short story feel, not like the first two minutes of a movie like it should have.
      Moving to our first pitch, we feel like it would have the most interesting plot. But it's not perfect. The cons of this pitch is that we would have to film at night, making it harder for us to get good lighting or shots. Since it's also late at night, where we would need to shoot it in downtown Hollywood may be very busy. The pros for this pitch how ever is about how much we can make it out of it. The costumes are really easy to make and location is really close to where we live.
      Our final decision was tough but we ended up coming to a conclusion that we feel will be the most beneficial towards giving us that A level grade. With careful consideration, we decided to with the kidnapping pitch. There was something about this pitch that made it stand out from the rest and as a group we can really make this idea into an awesome clip. Now that we've decided that this is our definite pitch, we can really get to working out the critical parts. Another benefit when choosing this pitch is the idea that our teachers favorite movie franchise is Fast & Furious. The loud truck and skidding rubber might just put her over the top when grading our project. In the end, this idea is easier in all forms and we feel we can make it look the best. All of our previous projects gears us so we can do as good as we possibly can on this one. Its between cambridge and us now. It's just a matter of meeting all our deadlines and making this the best video we can.
