How To Write A Pitch

First - The pitch opening should be brief, one short sentence to introduce your film to the buyers.

Second - People should already understand the building block of the pitch. Such as for the film Se7en the audience understand that the building block for this is the seven deadly sins.

The pitch should also be no longer than 7-8 minutes long.

The pitch should also include; what the film is about but also the themes and messages it us trying to communicate. Furthermore it should include;

• a general outline of story
• apply Todorov's narrative theory
• consider a whole story for the pitch

These are some of the questions you should consider when writing a pitch;

• What genre is your film?
• What other films in this genre have inspired your film/is your film similar too?
• Who is the target audience for your film?
• When will the film be released (what season?)
• How much will your film cost to make?
• How much will it make?
• Who will star in the film?
• Who will direct the film?

Using the Questions above and what i have learnt from this post of how to write a pitch, i have now been given the task in my group to write a pitch for the film that we have made. Our Pitch will have to cover all apsects of what is written above in order to make it a good pitch and in order to do this my group have to create a presentaion in which we will present to the class who will give us feedback on our pitch and the film idea in general.
