Pitch Feedback

Overall, the pitch didn't go too bad. The PowerPoint itself was decent, at least.

People wondered how we would be able to film at night, and on top of that what this would look like in black and white. This would be a problem, but we don't actually plan to film at night, so we're not too worried about that. If it's possible to change it to look like night on Adobe Premiere then that would be great, but it's not an important concern.

There was also the fact that film noir usually stars a femme fatale and we don't have one. A couple of the film noir and neo noir films that we've watched featured a woman in the opening, but the majority of them didn't and so we think we can get away without one, since our opening only features two characters anyway.

Because we obviously can't recreate the 1940s in which most of the film noir movies are based, we're forced to go neo-noir. The telephone in our opening could be an old-fashioned one, but as people said this would look out of place in the modern surroundings, so it would make much more sense to stick with a normal house phone. However, we could meet half way and use a stock 1940s ringing sound for the phone instead of its natural one.
