I found pitching for this project difficult as trying to explain what I wanted to shoot and edit into my trailer was difficult to get across, and it was something I had not done before so it was a good learning experience. My pitch was my key concepts for my trailer and the types of imagery that I wanted to use in the footage to show certain points or meanings.
After pitching what I have planned for this project to the class I got there feedback on my ideas and it helped me make a few changes and decide what ideas I should use in my design. I got positive feedback overall on the whole with people liking the street idea I had to go with the start of the speech with some different methods being suggested here so something too experiment later with. Also some of the imagery I had for other areas of the speech. This reinforced some of my ideas as mentioned above but also I did not have footage or ideas for all of the speech for example the "Ask what you can do for your country" that Kennedy finishes on I was still unsure what to use here unfortunately so I had a couple of rough ideas that I briefly explained and got a little bit of feedback on.
Moving onto the other parts of the pitch I explained my reason to go with no music and people didn't see any problems with this so i'll see what happens here and maybe experiment later with music if I can find the right track and if the trailer doesn't seem to work without it. Also the section of the speech I chose people had no problem with and I showed the places I wanted kinetic text which hopefully will work.
So overall the pitch process was useful giving me some things to think about going forward with my ideas. I kind of wish I was more prepared for this pitch as it seemed to come around very quickly and I had not finished my ideas whereas if i had I could of got feedback on what people thought would and wouldn't work in the whole trailer rather than just the sections I had planned out. Even so it was still helpful for me and a good learning experience.
