Pitching Criteria

This is just from a sheet i got given last week to help with our pitch, basically if we apply the elements of this criteria I think we should be able to give a good account of what our film is going to involve.....

Genre - Specify whether it's a drama, doc etc. is it helpful to describe it in terms of genre? Does it have a tag line? (Psychological thriller/drama...)

Form -
What is the length of the film? (10-15 mins)

Theme -
What is the work about? This is not the story, but the underlying subject. (So in the meeting before we said domestic/family issues....Domestic drama?

Story -
What is the story or stories you will be telling? Who are the characters? (Jake the insurance broker agent - his story)

Plot -
How is the story ordered? If it is a simple linear tale you may not need to address this but if the plot is complex with flashbacks etc this will need to be discussed.

Visual Style -
What is it going to look like? How will this look be achieved by the camera and art departments? Location? Colour palletes and shot type?

Audio Style -
How will the audio be approached. Music? (Billy & Tom)

Tone -
Is it comedic, tragic, dramatic? How is this reflected in the audio/visual style and performance?

Location Shots - Office, House, Girl's bedroom

Character pictures, pictures of actors (keep within your league though)

Mood Boards

Storyboards / illustrations of scenes can be used but often don't add anything to a good verbal description.

And here's a description of insurance broker..........
