The two pitches we narrowed it down was the short girl story and the story about social media. The one we are leaning towards is the story about social media. It was the first one we came up with and ended up developing the story a lot. That way, when we develop the dialogue, it will be easier to do. Though the short girl story is interesting, I really wanted to do a horror, so we changed up the social media concept and made it into one. It didn't exactly take too much replaning because we just said some guy stalks her and she gets creeped out by it. For the short girl story, we wanted to do something relatable since both me and one of my other group members struggle with being short. It was mostly just a baseline concept for us so we didn't plan as much as the horror. Since my other group mates wanted to do something relatable and i wanted to do horror, we made a compromise. That compromise was doing the cellphone idea.
Pros and cons of the cellphone idea. the cons are it would be easier to film. It would also be more fun to film. It wouldn't have as much of a "coming of age" story as the short girl concept would. Another pro would be that horror is the easiest to film. That would make our work load even less. Cons are it would be a little hard to make it enough of an eerie feel. It might also be a bit hard to find locations to film at. The final con would be that we would have to find a good spot to cut it off. This would be hard because we would need to get the story to a good point where it doesn't seem like a short story. The best spot would probably be before the main climax so you don't get all that tension in the story, only to be left with a clif hanger.
Pros and cons of the short girl idea. Pros would be that it would attract more people to watch it. The story would be relatable so people would be able to sympathize with the main character. It would also be a bit easier to film with all the good angles we'd get. Cons are that it would also be hard to film. What I mean is it would be harder for us to make the main girl seem shorter than she actually is. Another con would be that it would be harder to come up with dialogue and a better story. It would be odd if it wasn't filmed at school or at least have one scene in it with school. Considering we cant film at school, it would be pretty difficult to get the typical "short girl school scenario." Though this idea would be pretty fun to film, its not the idea we were aiming for.
