the pitch

We pitched our 2 ideas to the class to see what they thought and what feeback we could get from them. They voted in favour of idea 'A' which was our initial idea. As cool as Will's idea was and as cool as I imagine he pictured it to be it would just be quite hard to do well. Same goes for the comedy side of our initial idea. If the comedy is lame and tired out like Adam Sandler films then it's not going to get us the laughs we want. We have to take a step back ,look at what we have and decide what is funny or not.

We were asked if we had thought of actors and we all pretty much wanted to be our own characters but when I look at me I dont think "cockney thug", I think "awkward manboy". So i'm going to have to make myself look the part and dive into the role. But I'm not going to dig too deep and completley explode into the persona of some made up , brutal thug . I'll try and remove the elements of my personality from the character I'll be portraying.

This has given us a lot to think about. Acting, location and scripting. Bad writing will make this look cliched and awful so I'm going to watch a lot of Guy Ritchie films as homework on what kind of dialogue is used in these kinds of films. We need to act to the best of our ability. Even if we can't act we can still try out hardest to pull off a better film. We need to sort out locations and maybe even permission to film in certain places.
