Final Task : Pitch

Pitches for potential movies

     As I stated in my previous blog, I have 3 movie pitches which are potentially my future project. In all honesty, my second pitch about the race car driver was made up because i couldn’t think of anything else. If i had to pick, 2 out of my 3 movie pitches, I would choose my 3rd and 1st movie ideas.My second one would be hard to pull off due to the fact that I’m not going to spain anytime soon and I don’t drive so It’ll be a challenge filming a movie about racing in Spain. When or if I ever become a future movie director, that’ll be one of my movies. Until then, i’ll keep this idea in the drafts. So now im going to talk about my 2 other movie pitches.
      My first potential movie will be about a hitman who works for the Italian mafia. He gets a call from a client and during the phone call, future scenes of the actual murder will appear. It’ll later be figured out that the murder that was portrayed during the phone call was with the client and not the person he was payed to kill. This is influenced from Quentin Tarantino because he has always seemed to have scenes out of orders and big plot twist. The first 2 minutes will be of our protagonist waking up and actually receiving the actual phone call.
      My second potential movie will be about a schizophrenic man who deals with his demons throughout the course of the movie and it’ll end him killing his own son, the person he swore to protect through out the entire movie. If i were to do this film, it’d be in the style of Donnie Darko. In that movie the protagonist has schizophrenia and deals with his inner demons. If i were to do this, i’d want it to be similar to that movie. The only problem is our production budget and equipment. We don’t have the same amount of expensive gear that they used to produce the movie so acquiring the same shots will be a bit of a struggle.
      To wrap this off, i have decided to go through with my first movie pitch. The reason is because I think the end result will look much better than my other 2 pitches. While it was a hard decision i believe its the best option to get the best looking movie out if all the 3.
