Casey decided to evaluate the pitch :)

So as you can see from Abby's post, we have done our pitch for our horror film!

I think that our pitch went reasonably well; the class gave us feedback afterwards which has helped us re-evaluate some points of the film and adapt it to be more suitable and moer achievable.

Our main idea seemed a little bit short, so after a little thought, we decided a few shots could be added in. We have now changed the ending of the horror film so that we see the "dead body" wake up as a vampire! Not only will this add a bit of time on to the film, but it also leaves it on a cliff hanger to make the audience want to watch the rest of the film! :)

One negative point that was made was that the SFX that we would need to use such as the amount of fake blood would be quite hard to make look realistic. We took this in mind and went and researched a couple of different fake blood recipes! We found one that looks reasonably real, and hopefully on film will! We are going to use honey or golden syrup, milk (to stop it being so sticky), red food colouring, and a little bit of yellow food colouring. This may be a little sticky for the actor's to have on them, but it looks real, so its good enough for us! :D

As for our location, some people were a little sceptical as to whether we would be able to find siomewhere with a field and the sort of scenery and lighting we would need, BUT we found the perfect place up in Bakersfield! We also hav e a source of electrics near by since amber's mum lives there, so when we have to run around getting spare camera battery's, we'll be fine!

In general, our pitch went quite well in my opinion, and I am thoroughly looking forward to filminf our horror! (:
