Pitch

  I completed this pre-production activity in order to be able to advertise and explain my short film concept to the production companies. I created a document that had important features of my film such as the title, a logline, basic plot summary, my research and the unique selling point. By doing this, I have allowed myself to have a persuasive document ready for future pitches of my short film.

I had a couple of logistical issues - things such as the film being set in a fun house yet filming in a classroom, this meant that the room needed decorating yet this wasn't possible. Another thing that led me to change my idea after filming is the cast I had for my initial film 'house of fun.' I had 7 cast yet by the time it came to filming I had 3 cast members drop out due to clashes with other school events, in order for my story to work I swapped roles around and got some last minute volunteers. Having 7 cast members meant that this was quite a challenging environment to film in and keep everyone silent so I wouldn't get any background noises etc. Another challenge I faced with my cast was the costumes, one of my characters was suppose to be a clown, he just had a rainbow curly wig on and a mask - this initially looked okay but after...
