The pitches.
Nerve wracking
Interesting
Soul sucking
Educational

I was very interested in hearing everyone’s pitches, they were quite varied despite the reoccurrence of trains, and I saw a lot of exciting potential. I tried to maintain notes on each person’s presentation but the anticipation of my own emending presentation was distracting, especially since we deviated from alphabetical order. By around 10 people in, sweaty browed, I realised the anticipation is surely wholly worse then the presentation itself. I should just rip off the preverbal band-aid and get it over with. Boy was I wrong, it was worse. My presentation was painful and embarrassing. I was proud of my pitch and I felt like I didn’t do it justice. I wanted to just throw out the URL to my blog post on my pitch so that way I could save everyone the experience. I understand that in our industry pitching your ideas are crucial, and the delivering of that pitch can make or break if your film gets made. I really have to work on it. I guess practise is the only way. Joy.
The set up of the guest observers was a really valuable aspect and gave the entire production a professional polish. As I was judging their judgment of peoples film ideas, I was impressed. However less so with my feedback, the male, James I believe, informed me: “Split screen has been done to death.” I took his feedback as an opportunity to received criticism while not taking it too much to heart. While I welcomed his perspective, in this case I wont be taking it on board.
All in all, I CAN NOT WAIT for Mondays class. Only exciting things ahead.
