my final pitch

 I have been thinking a lot about what I could do for my final pitch. I have kind of had a creative block, but I am still trying to think. When I have blocks, everything all comes to me at once and I have to write everything that comes to min, all scattered, and eventually piece everything together. My favorite movies are action movies and comedy movies. But my all time favorite genre is mystery and crime solving. An action movie might be hard to film in this amount of time and just in general, so I am leaning toward the mystery genre. When I was thinking, I thought of my favorite movies and their opening scenes. My favorite movies are Top Gun, Ferris Bueller, Grease, Napolean Dynamite, Nancy Drew, and any Marvel movie. I figured it might be intriguing to do a mystery movie because something that happens often in mystery movies during the beginning scene can leave you at a cliffhanger or on the edge of your seat. I think that the opening scenes that are preludes are interesting. Some opening scenes start with a flashback or a dream, but you do not know that it is a flashback until later of course. Sometimes you may even forget that the scene is a flashback, and that phenomenon has always been interesting to me. There are even some movies that are entirely a character's dream, fantasy, or flashback and you find out at the end. For example, Toy Story 2 is a movie I think of when I think of flashbacks. The toys are always having flashbacks of their previous owners and how they fell out of love with their toy. I think movies like this are very cool. So, this leads me to my two final pitch options. The first idea is going to start with cops chasing someone who has just committed a crime. The second idea is to do one of those character point of views where the main character is narrating what is happening in the scenes and then at the end he goes " and that's me, you may be wondering how I got here" so it is like a flashback and the character is telling his own story. It is a famous cliche known as "this is me" opening narration, and sometimes they will even repeat it at the end. For example, The emporer's groove starts like that. I am leaning toward the second option and I think I could combine the first ans second options, actually. I could show a crime stopping scene and give the culprit's point of view, and in the middle of the scene, freeze frame and record scratch, and have the culprit turn to the auidience and camera and say, "you may be wondering how I got in this situation, let's rewind."
