Deciding Our Pitch

After talking it over with my group, we have narrowed it down to two pitch ideas for our final task. We decided it would be easier to do this by going over the pros and cons of each individual pitch. In the end, we decided to narrow it down to a pitch I came up with and a pitch my team member, Jahrvia, created. To refresh, the pitch idea I came up with was: All of the most infamous antagonists join together to wreak havoc on the world. The antagonists would include villains such as Dracula, Frankenstein, and Penny Wise. The pitch Jahrvia came up was: A person (or group) kills people who have been listed for committing the seven deadly sins. The killer in this film would be a person that personally knows each of the people listed. 

In order to decide which pitch to use, as stated before, we explored the pros and cons of each pitch. First we started with my pitch. Some benefits to my pitch are:

1. It features classic characters that the audience knows and brings them together as one (almost like the Avengers or Suicide Squad).

2. Since people know of these characters, it attracts fans of all the antagonists, bringing more people to the box office.

3. With the same previous characters, as the directors, we have the opportunity to present a new hero or even join together the protagonists from each of the antagonists' movies.

Some cons to my pitch are:

1. Realistically, getting the rights to each specific character would be hard. It would cost a fortune and could take forever.

2. After thinking about it, it sounds a little too much like the movie and book series, Goosebumps by R.L. Stine.

3. Special effects for some of the antagonists would be very difficult to recreate since none of us are professional in makeup.

Next, we went over the pros and cons of Jahrvia's pitch. The pros included:

1. It was something we had never seen before.

2. We could get a message across in the opening credits easily.

3. The "killer" character could be seen as a villain or a vigilante which allows for complexity.

4. Not much special effects makeup is needed since these are normal human beings.

I personally couldn't think of any major cons to Jahrvia's pitch. 

With that being said, we decided to use Jahrvia's pitch about the seven deadly sins.
