60 Second Pitch

We as a group were given the task to create a 60 second pitch. Pitching an idea for a film is done for the development phase of film making, it's sometimes called an elevator pitch and is used to convince executives and production companies to fund your film, deciding whether you can continue filming or stop. As the project's producers, we had to create a plot for a teen horror film, the film is intended to be a 15 and suitable for teenagers, as they're the desired audience. Whilst planning this we came up with ideas like cannibals - which we changed as a cannibal plot would be automatically bumped up to an 18 rating. We came up with different title names and different ideas for the plot and what we wanted in  it, for example John wanted subliminal messages and the girl to be feral and I wanted Latin and an exorcism, so a possession film would have been most appropriate for this Agne agreed with this idea.

We all had many different title ideas and we managed to cut the number down to two, 'deus' which means God in Latin and 'Chriso' meaning Christ in Latin, we eventually agreed on 'Christo' to be our title. The idea of this title came from the show 'Supernatural' in which 'Christo' is used to show whether a demon has possessed a body. We chose this as a title because we planned for an exorcism to be preformed within the film.

Our planning didn't go too well at first because as a group we were focusing too much on ideas for the opening rather than the plot, we managed to come up with a final idea that we all agreed on eventually, by combining most of our previous planning ideas, having to scrap a few as they weren't suitable for the plot.
