Narrowing Down Our Pitches

    Out of the four pitches we thought of, two really stuck out. We ultimately chose on the basis of which would be the most fun to do, seeing that it would be a project that would take multiple days to complete. Over the span of the next few months, I believe,  motivation will be harder and harder to come by, so we tried to pick something we all would have a relatively easy time doing. Together we landed on pitches three and four.
    For pitch three, (the about religion), we honestly just thought it would be funny. It would be very fun to shoot as well since we thought about playing with fire (in a safe environment of course). The concept itself has a lot of flexibility so once it comes down to storyboarding we can fit a lot of ideas into the time allotted. That said, the concept is fairly original, out of all the films I can recall, none seem to go in the direction we're heading. We want to add more mature aspects, while still making it laughable, kinda like horror-comedy. The only hard parts would be finding a suitable location. For a religious movie, no matter how obscure, its tradition to include at least one church scene. We may not be allowed access to a church in order to film and replicating one would be just as difficult. We also wanted to feature a pastor, an adult preferably. It would the same as before, we may not be able to find someone willing and being the only guy, I am not the best at acting.
    For our fourth pitch, we wanted to do a pair of cabalistic lovers. On the upside, it has amazing potential. I haven't seen anything close to the dynamic we're trying to portray. The only thing reasonably close would be the Netflix Original "Santa Clarita Diet". The only similarity would be cannibalism and the focus on a "loving couple", but the show has the twist of zombification but we aren't doing that. The downside, consumes are going to have to be a tad more high-end if we are going for a "famous" look, and the editing is going to take a lot more due to the cuts needed to give the graphic scenes emphasis. Maintaining good lighting is also going to be a challenge with the multiple settings we want to include.
