Who Wants To See An Amazing Pitch?

Our second pitch for 'Dislocation' (on Thursday 27th March), Andy and I played a short version of "Who Wants to be a Millionaire?" and this answered questions that related to the pitch. It gave us what the genre was, the title of the film, the setting and time period and would audiences like to see the film.

After our fun teaser, we spoke about more details about the film including the actors and their head shots, the locations, the crew and shooting dates, to name a few. This information can be found below:

How does it fit into 'Dislocation'?
Set in the middle of nowhere, Dan is a hero; he is cool, slick and adventurous. Josh is a lesser version, always in the shadow of his best friend. He tries to be like him so much but always ends up getting it wrong. When Dan is killed, the spotlight is thrust onto Josh, he is being forced to become the hero that the audience expected Dan to be. Josh is in uncharted territory in this front and centre role; scared, determined and dislocated.

Overall, I'm really happy with how our pitch turned out. Andy had a great idea and I'm so glad that we went with it because it was creative and no-one else had an idea like it. It was memorable and fun with a twist, as well as our tutor liking it because it had an edge but we also gave the relevant information.
