Matt and Luke Pitch

We pitched the Final Draft Idea to Matt and Luke, the feedback main feedback that they gave back to use was that it would be a difficult location to film in. They said that first, it probably couldn't be built in Hurtwood or filmed anywhere in Hurtwood as it is an apartment. This means if we were to go ahead with the apartment location we would either have to film in someone's house or film in a hotel room. It means having more complications such as, setting up equipment, possibly booking hotel rooms, travel time e.t.c. Matt said that we shouldn't let the location of the idea drag us down and still be open to new ideas. Although, our group decided against as we feel like the idea is best set where it is. The pitch itself went alright. We communicated our idea pretty well, although upon reflecting on it we may have missed out on a few items. For example, they perceived the apartment as a very luxurious apartment because of the connotation of drugs lying around and wealth. We decided that the apartment doesn't have to be luxurious, it can be a very standard apartment.

We have discussed the possibility of Adam's house which would be a lot less hassle than a hotel room, but it is a family house meaning the mise-en-scen maybe be not be appropriate for the context, we may not have time construct the set that we want and in addition to that it is still his house and we have to respect that. We haven't had 100% certainty from Adam about using his house, but he did say that we probably could.

The next steps from here would be to confirm with Matt and Luke that we want to go ahead with the apartment location.Then get more feedback from them, probably get shut down, but hopefully if we suggest that Adam would be okay with using his house then it may help.
