Decision of pitch

We decided to narrow our ideas down to the idea of a horror movie. Eliminating the motorcycle pitch.  The plot was that there would be a virus that comes out of people phones based on all the information kept by the internet. And once you disobey the "terms and service" conditioning that was agreed to when signing up with the phone, a person would appear and start spreading any and all personal information about you on your social media platforms and start posting in your place "ruining your life." The second pitch we decided to keep was the idea where we are doing a apocalypse type movie were the protagonist has to survive in a house as other people being try to break in.

We believe the first pitch is a good idea because it's an original plot that can be simple, yet effective. It would provide commentary on the idea of giving big corporations our private information, and how easy it could be for all of it to be released. It's a relevant topic of discussion, especially after the Facebook leaks. The video wouldn't be the typical horror movie, it would be more along the lines of a psychological horror/ thriller. it would be set through the eyes of a young adult/ teenager. 

The second idea is also a good pitch. While it's not completely original, we have some good concepts that can prove effective when viewing it. The video would dive into the effects of isolation on the mind. It would also explore the possibilities of what would happen to modern society if it was broken down. There is also some neat aesthetic ideas we've thought of. Most of those ideas were in terms of music and cinematography. along with the emotion given of of the story and plot.

We eventually came to choose the second idea. Its an interesting concept that takes an in depth look at modern society and what would happen if it was destroyed out of nowhere. We had a lot of better ideas and alternative stories we could tell. The first idea is more established than the second which, depending on how you look at it, can restrict anymore creative input than there already is. while on the other hand the second idea is perfect for the location we both live in and is a commonly liked genre between the two of us. this gives a lot of space for our own creative ideas.
