- Describe what your film is
about. Remember, what your film is about is not necessarily an outline of what
happens in your film. It’s a description of the themes and goals of your film –
what you’ll teach or communicate to your audience.
My film is
about how both traditional and urban life can come together to make something
beauty and different. I also want to express the themes of presernverce and
duty which will be seen through the young girls actions throughout the story as
they each battle to get the lantern.
- Close with a hook – something to keep
your audience wondering what might happen and wishing for more. A pitch that
ends on intrigue is a perfect pitch.
