Man or Monster?

The two pitches that was narrowed down for this project was either the action film or the horror film. The first pitch, the action film, consists of a kidnapping as the central theme. The kidnapping focuses on the presidents daughter (not the current president, a made up one), who gets kidnapped as part of a terrorist attempt for money and political change. The terrorist group does not affiliate to any particular group.  The horror is centralized around werewolf/man that tries to murder three girls. This werewolf who is also part man disrupts a group of girls in their home, planning to murder them.

Pitch 1 would be a decent pitch for the assignment, but not the one my team and I are gravitating towards. This is mostly because the kidnapping would not be entirely appropriate but also not practical to do. As there would be a lot of running, shoving, pushing etc, there is a potential of harm in the process. Therefore, this pitch isn't the one that would be picked.

Pitch 2 seems like a better fit for this assignment. It has a more levels of suspense and I feel like a better engagement with the audience. The werewolf/man will be the main character as well as premise for the movie. It would tie in suspense, horror, and better use of costume design and props. There's also more acting involved in this pitch in more creative ways with fake blood and knives for props. Therefore, this pitch seems like a better fit.

The pitch that was ultimately decided was Pitch 2 for this project. The werewolf/man will allow for a better and more intriguing project for the audience overall, adding more elements of surprise and suspense. The team and I have already gathered to discuss scripts for the actors, where to film/ potential locations and costume layout. So therefore, pitch 2 is the teams choice for this assignment and will be planned in the days to come.
